Beach hop cruise to Cala Bassa and Cala Conta.

If you want to see some of Ibiza's best beaches in superb style, the Beach Hop Cruise is for you. Leaving from San Antonio, this fantastic cruise will have you gliding along on a gorgeous two-level catamaran to the sublime Cala Bassa and the gorgeous Cala Conta. In a trip that's great for people of all ages, you'll get a 1-hour pit stop at both beaches, where you'll have an hour to stroll, bathe, top up your tan or grab a bite to eat from one of the numerous beach bars and restaurants.

Choose from the daytime or sunset cruise and go to the beach like a superstar in this fantastic glass-bottomed catamaran. You'll take in Ibiza's stunning coastline and outlying islands like Conejera on the way, sailing past secret beaches, landmarks and a raft of hidden treasures showing you the full glory of Ibiza from the sea.

Rest assured, you'll have plenty of time to swim in the crystal-clear waters, with a leisurely stop, when you can whizz into the water on the water slide, or jump in off from the vessel's diving board. With on-board snorkelling equipment and paddle boards free of charge, there's lots of fun in store.
