Discover Ibiza’s Coast with a Clear Perspective
If you’re looking for a unique way to see Ibiza’s stunning coastline, this 2-hour guided transparent paddle surf and snorkel tour offers just that. Led by friendly guides, you’ll glide along crystal-clear waters in the island’s only transparent SUP paddleboards—a real eye-opener. The tour includes snorkel gear and a complimentary photo session, so you can capture your experience without worrying about taking your own shots.
What we love most about this experience are two things: First, the ability to see beneath the water in real-time through the transparent boards—imagine gliding over vibrant marine life without dunking your head into the water. Second, the personalized route adjustments made by guides, like the one who changed the route to San Antonio for a group of five, ensure you get a tailored experience that suits your interests.
A potential consideration is the weather dependency—since the final location is chosen on the day based on weather conditions, your exact spot might vary. That said, this flexibility helps create safer, more enjoyable outings.
This tour suits adventurers and nature lovers eager to experience Ibiza from a fresh perspective, especially those who appreciate small groups (limited to six participants) and personal attention. Whether you’re traveling solo, with a partner, or a small group, this is a great way to explore Ibiza’s coast authentically.

A Deep Dive into the Ibiza Paddle Surf & Snorkel Adventure
If you’re after a way to experience Ibiza’s coast that combines adventure, stunning scenery, and a touch of luxury, this guided paddle tour might be just what you’re looking for. For about two hours, you’ll be floating in waters so clear you might wonder if you’re in a giant aquarium. The transparent SUPs turn the usual paddleboarding experience on its head—allowing an unobstructed view of the marine life below.
What Makes This Tour Stand Out?
First, the transparent paddleboards are a novelty in Ibiza. Not only do they make your experience visually captivating, but they also give you a unique perspective on the underwater world. Whether you’re watching schools of fish dart by or marveling at the formations beneath, you’re not just looking at the sea—you’re floating in it.
Second, the snorkel gear is included, which is great for those who want to extend their underwater interest beyond the surface. The guides are experienced and friendly, with reviews praising their patience and helpfulness. One mention noted how the instructor, Alex, was both professional and supportive, making the experience comfortable for first-timers.
Itinerary Breakdown
The exact starting point varies depending on the weather, with common locations including Cala Llonga, Las Salinas, and San Antonio. On the day, your guide will choose the most suitable spot for safe, enjoyable paddling. Expect to paddle along beautiful coastlines, discovering secret spots and fascinating marine caves. These caves are often inaccessible from land, so exploring them from the water adds a sense of discovery.
The route is flexible: guides are happy to modify the course based on your group’s preferences or weather conditions. For instance, one group’s guide changed the route to San Antonio, ensuring they avoided a long paddle and maximized fun.
