Snorkelling in Formentera - the little paradise at Ibiza

Formentera has something that others do not have in such abundance: Neptunas. This beautiful underwater plant provides the paradise-blue water around the small island, plenty of oxygen, an enviable biodiversity and magnificent underwater television. It's no coincidence that snorkelling is one of the most popular water sports activities in Formentera. There is a lot to discover and the feeling of swimming in this sea blue is simply fantastic. You will get to know some of the best spots on the 3.5-hour tour. There is a short briefing on board and then it's off to snorkel on Formentera!

The first stop is the island of Espalmador, which is only a few swimming trains away from Formentera. There you will have one hour's stay to explore the little paradise. From the neighbouring island we continue to the marinepark in the Cala del Moro. A refuge in Caribbean look with water in the most beautiful colours and lots of fish to watch. There are fins, diving goggles and snorkels on board, so you can get to the bottom of this fascinating world directly from the boat. For non-swimmers there are vests on board.

Another highlight of this Formentera boat tour is the cave swimming in the mysterious bays hidden behind the rocks. There the water has different colours and you will certainly develop a spirit of discovery when you swim and snorkel. The last stop of this expedition is the bay of Cala Saona, for many the most beautiful Formentera bay of all. This is mainly due to the interplay of red stone and blue sea colours and this almost golden light.

an unforgettable snorkelling experience in the turquoise waters of Formentera

My overall experience with the snorkelling tour in Formentera was very positive. The 3.5-hour boat trip was well organised and offered a variety of experiences. Particularly impressive was the visit to the island of Espalmador, a truly unspoilt paradise. The snorkelling in Cala del Moro and the bay of Cala Saona was breathtaking; the colours of the water and the variety of fish were spectacular. The opportunity to swim in the mysterious caves added an extra dimension to the adventure. The group was small, which contributed to a pleasant, intimate atmosphere. The equipment was in good condition and the skipper was knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore the underwater world of Formentera. The only downside was that the transfer to the starting point was not included.

ein unvergessliches Schnorchelerlebnis in den türkisblauen Gewässern von Formentera

Meine Erfahrung mit der Schnorchel-Tour in Formentera war insgesamt sehr positiv. Die 3,5-stündige Bootsfahrt war gut organisiert und bot eine Vielzahl von Erlebnissen. Besonders beeindruckend war der Besuch der Insel Espalmador, ein wahrhaft unberührtes Paradies. Das Schnorcheln in der Cala del Moro und der Bucht von Cala Saona war atemberaubend; die Farben des Wassers und die Vielfalt der Fische waren spektakulär. Die Möglichkeit, in den geheimnisvollen Höhlen zu schwimmen, fügte dem Abenteuer eine zusätzliche Dimension hinzu. Die Gruppe war klein, was zu einer angenehmen, intimen Atmosphäre beitrug. Die Ausrüstung war in gutem Zustand und der Skipper war kompetent und freundlich. Ich empfehle jedem, der die Unterwasserwelt von Formentera erkunden möchte, diese Tour. Einziger Nachteil war, dass der Transfer zum Startpunkt nicht inbegriffen war.

A great experience, but there are a few catches...

The snorkelling tour in Formentera was great for the most part. Beautiful spots, clear water and lots of colourful fish - just my thing! The detour to the island of Espalmador was really something special. But hey, 85 euros is no bargain and the captain was a bit taciturn. If you can't swim, it's probably not the right fun for you. The drinks on board cost extra, so better pack your own. Nevertheless, an experience that is well worth it!

Tolles Erlebnis, aber ein paar Haken gibts doch...

Die Schnorcheltour in Formentera war größtenteils geil. Schöne Spots, klares Wasser und viele bunte Fische – genau mein Ding! Der Abstecher zur Insel Espalmador war echt was Besonderes. Aber hey, 85 Euro sind kein Schnäppchen, und der Kapitän war ein bisschen wortkarg. Wenn du nicht schwimmen kannst, ist's wohl nicht der richtige Spaß für dich. Die Getränke an Bord kosten extra, also pack besser selber was ein. Trotzdem, ein Erlebnis, das sich lohnt!
