3-Hour Private Sunset Snorkel Boat for Large Groups

A Closer Look at the 3-Hour Private Sunset Snorkel Boat for Large Groups

Imagine cruising along Ibiza’s glittering coast on a spacious boat with your friends or family, watching the sun paint the sky with fiery hues as you snorkel in crystal-clear waters. For €135 per person (roughly, depending on group size), this 3-hour adventure offers a blend of relaxation, exploration, and stunning scenery, perfect for groups up to 30 people. Led by friendly guides, this trip takes you to some of Ibiza’s iconic coves like Cala Bassa and Cala Conta, with the added thrill of cave exploration, paddleboarding, and a relaxed vibe with drinks in hand.

What we love most is how the large, comfortable boat features a sun-drenched solarium with sofas and a giant bed—ideal for soaking up those Mediterranean rays. We also appreciated the flexibility in water activities, with paddleboards and snorkel sets included, making it easy to stay active or simply lounge. The scenic stops at Cala Bassa and Cala Conta are both postcard-worthy spots, each with transparent waters and soft sands that invite swimming and relaxing.

One consideration: since this isn’t a party boat, there’s no loud music or dancing, which makes it more suitable for those seeking a calm, scenic outing versus a lively party scene. Also, if your group exceeds 30, you’ll need to speak with the provider beforehand for a possible quote adjustment.

This tour is perfect for travelers who want a comfortable, elegant way to enjoy Ibiza’s natural beauty with a group, combining snorkeling, stunning sunsets, and a touch of adventure without the chaos of a typical party cruise.

An In-Depth Review of the Sunset Snorkel Experience

The Scenic Starting Point and Private Atmosphere

Your journey begins at San Antonio Port, where the friendly staff in front of the Palapa Bar greet you and your group for a smooth start. This is no crowded party boat; it’s a private experience designed for comfort and quality time with your loved ones. The boat itself is well-equipped, with a spacious upper deck—your main relaxation zone—featuring a large bed and sofas. This is where you’ll likely spend much of your time, soaking up the sun while sipping on included drinks or just enjoying the view.

The Itinerary: From First Splash to Sundown

The adventure is broken into two main snorkeling stops, each lasting approximately 45 minutes, with additional time for cave exploration and cruising. The first stop at Cala Bassa is a favorite among travelers for its turquoise waters and soft white sands. Here, snorkelers can see octopuses, small rockfish, and starfish while paddling around or simply floating with the current. Many reviewers love how clear the water is, making it easier to spot marine life. One traveler noted, “The water was so clear, I could see fish swimming just inches from my face.”

After a leisurely 45-minute break, the boat moves to Cala Conta, famed for its stunning sunsets and vibrant blue waters. The second snorkeling stop offers another opportunity to explore colorful sea life, and the calm waters make it an ideal spot for beginners or families with children. If sea conditions allow, the boat will also venture into a sea cave, where the guides point out sea life in the dark, echoing space—a highlight for many.

The relaxed atmosphere, combined with the panoramic views and the gentle breeze, makes for a laid-back yet memorable experience. Reviewers mention the good music and the overall friendliness of the crew as adding to the enjoyment.

Sunset and Cave Exploration

As the day winds down, the guides position the boat to catch the sunset—a truly breathtaking sight. Many travelers say that watching the sun dip into the Mediterranean from the water is a highlight of their Ibiza trip. If sea conditions permit, your boat might also explore Ibiza’s largest sea cave, adding an element of adventure and discovery. This is not a party cruise; it’s about appreciating the natural beauty in a relaxed setting.

Practical Considerations

The trip is priced reasonably considering the inclusions, especially given the private group setting and multiple stops. Keep in mind, there’s no food included, so plan accordingly if you’re hungry afterward. Also, be aware that pick-up and drop-off are not included—so plan your transport to the meeting point at San Antonio Port in advance.
