Itinerary
Guests meet at the harbour of San Antonio for check-in with the Oceanbeat team. After a short welcome and introduction, travelers receive all important information about the day before the VIP shuttle transfer begins.
A comfortable VIP shuttle takes guests from San Antonio to Playa den Bossa in about 20 minutes. This transfer allows the tour to start from Ibiza’s south coast, creating a much shorter and smoother boat journey to Formentera.
At the famous Playa den Bossa beach, guests meet their tour guide at Vanilla Beach. Here the boat boarding begins and the crew welcomes everyone on board with a welcome drink while explaining the itinerary of the day.
The boat departs and cruises along the beautiful coastline of Ibiza. During the approximately one-hour crossing, guests can enjoy breakfast, coffee, beer, and soft drinks while relaxing on deck. Travelers can take photos, enjoy the scenery, and sometimes even spot dolphins.
During the cruise, guests enjoy panoramic views of the legendary rock island Es Vedrà, one of Ibiza’s most famous natural landmarks. Travelers can take photos while hearing stories and legends about this mystical island.
The boat anchors near the small paradise island of Espalmador. Guests can swim in crystal-clear waters, go snorkeling, relax on board, or use stand-up paddle boards to explore the area.
The tour continues to the famous Ses Illetes beach area. Guests can swim in turquoise water, snorkel, relax on the beach, or explore the surroundings. Food is served on board while guests enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and music.
Guests arrive at the harbour of Formentera and enjoy approximately 5 to 6 hours of free time on the island. Visitors can rent scooters or bicycles, explore the island’s famous white beaches, go shopping, or relax at beach clubs and restaurants.

The food is weak, little variety, and also very poor quality. The drinks, just the beer and the water. Besides, friendly and friendly staff
I booked a tour for myself and 7 friends through the Viator app. I followed Viator's instructions regarding the meeting point, and on the scheduled day and time, nobody showed up. I tried contacting them in every way possible – by phone, WhatsApp, and Viator's chat – but received no response. Besides losing money, I also lost a day of the planned tour. Only after some time did I receive a response from Viator and the company informing me that my tour would be canceled due to weather problems (it was a beautiful, sunny day) and that my money would be refunded. To this day, I remain at a loss. I do not recommend them!!!!
Magnificent day with an exceptional team.
I did not find it satisfactory at all because they notified us the day before at 9:05 PM that they were changing the itinerary and that they would only do a boat party at 2:00 PM the next day. It was a disaster; they did not answer the phone, and I found myself with my partner stranded at the port waiting. I had not read the message from the previous night; I do not recommend it.
Pros: 1. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. There was a DJ who played good music while on the boat. 2. Formentera island was great to visit. Beaches were lovely and the bike ride was scenic. Cons: 1. The organisation part was a bit chaotic, specially at the start of the trip. We were scheduled on Apr1, but was moved to Apr3. When we got to the meeting place in San Antonio port based on the map, no one was there. We had to find a big group of people waiting for the tour and ask around. Good thing it wasn’t peak season so there were not much people. Going to the ship to formenterra was also a bit messy. We had to be divided into smaller groups and me, my friend, and another person were put into a taxi to go to the port. We also had to queue for a bit since there was no communication that since we had wristbands, we could just go to the ship. 2. The food was disappointing. The breakfast was nice with yogurt and granola with some packed pastries. The lunch was misleading. It said on the website that lunch would be paella. We were served cold lentil salad and a piece of chicken on the side. The dinner was said to be a buffet, but we were served cold chicken empanadas. 3. The itinerary was not the best. The boat stopped in the middle of the sea in two seemingly “popular” areas. The staff was friendly in encouraging people to jump and swim. There was not much to do in those areas since we couldn’t even use the kayak or paddle boats, or any of the snorkeling gear. We spent about 2hrs just drifting around at sea. We docked in formentera at 2pm. I feel like we could’ve gone straight to formentera and went to the proper beaches there since we were given 4hrs to do whatever we wanted on the island. Me and my friend went cycling (this was not part of the tour and we had to pay separate) which was the highlight of our trip as we went to one of the famous beaches there. It would’ve been better to take a car from Ibiza, get on a ferry to formentera, and drive around the island exploring the beaches and sights. Overall, the money was not worth it for the “cruise experience”. The food was disappointing and misleading. The stops were not worth it as we were idle for almost two hours with nothing to do and nothing to see. It’s better to get on a ferry directly and head to formentera.
My friends and I along with my family shared a great moment celebrating degrees and everything was excellent, I recommend it.
A phenomenal trip where we were all happy with what they offered us on the boat, food and good music, I recommend
The party is very fun, the facilities are very good and its atmosphere is the best. there is paella and fruit. The personnel is very friendly
The truth is, it was a great trip, we were able to see very beautiful places and the food and attention of the staff is very good, I would repeat it without thinking about it.
My friends and myself had such a great fun!!! Great staff and wonderful views. I would totally recommend this plan of you're visiting Ibiza! We will for sure book it on our next trip!!
