Boat Tour with Snorkeling on the West Coast of Formentera

Context The western coastline of Formentera is renowned for its exceptionally clear waters and rich marine biodiversity, protected within the Natural Park of Ses Salines. Here, semi-rigid kayaks provide access to secluded coves and sea caves unreachable by land, with guided snorkeling stops at sites like Cala del Moro and the island of Espalmador. The sea breeze carries the crisp, salty scent that lingers with every underwater dive.

The Experience/nThe tour begins with boarding in Formentera or Ibiza, sailing toward Espalmador as the cool wind brushes your skin and the ocean hums beneath the hull.
