Water activities in Ibiza for an unforgettable day out

The sea off the island of Ibiza isn't just an idyllic setting to behold—it's also a playground for unforgettable experiences.
If you're looking for an action-packed day, relaxing, or enjoying nature, the island's water activities have something perfect for you.
Explore the seabed with snorkeling and scuba diving
Ibiza is a treasure for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts, thanks to its clear waters and life-filled seabed.
Places like Cala Xarraca, Cala Conta, or S'illot des renclí are perfect for snorkeling and observing schools of fish, caves, and posidonia meadows.
For the more adventurous, diving opens the doors to unique underwater landscapes: Cala Llentrisca, the Llosa Figueral or the llosa de Santa Eulària, or the Punta Galera Snorkel Route.
In addition, there are numerous diving schools and centers such as Anfibios nautical sports who organize baptisms, guided dives and courses for all levels, so that you can dive safely into this fascinating blue world.
Kayaking: hidden caves and coves
Kayaking is ideal for those who want to explore the Ibizan coast at their own pace, exploring corners inaccessible from land.
One of the most recommended routes starts from Cala Xarraca and runs along the cliffs to sea caves and secret coves, perfect for swimming in turquoise waters.
Another lovely option is kayaking along the coast near Es Vedrà, with its stunning views of the legendary islet.
It is also common to rent kayaks in coves such as Cala Llonga, Es Figueral or Cala Martina, where there are companies such as Ascanio Surf School and Kayak-ibiza, which offer guided tours, both during the day and at sunset, to enjoy the Ibizan coast at its most magical.
It's a perfect plan for couples, groups of friends, or families, combining sport, nature, and unforgettable landscapes.
Balance and unique views in Paddle Surf
Paddle boarding, or SUP, has become one of the most popular activities on the island of Ibiza. Its great advantage is that it's easy to learn and allows you to enjoy the sea almost silently, gliding over crystal-clear waters.
Areas such as Cala Vadella, where SUP Yoga Ibiza is located, or the calm waters of Talamanca are ideal for beginners, thanks to their low waves. More experienced paddlers can try longer trips, such as the route that circles the coast of Santa Eulària or the one that departs from Sant Antoni to Cala Gració, with spectacular views and snorkeling stops.
In addition, many companies offer sunrise or sunset trips, where the colors of the sky and sea make paddleboarding an almost magical experience.
A perfect way to connect body and mind while contemplating Ibiza from a unique perspective.
