Ibiza Sea Excursion: Es Vedra, Atlantis and the Southwest Coast from San Antonio

Discover the most dramatic coastline in Ibiza aboard a glass-bottom boat, with a guided stop at Es Vedra and the legendary rock quarry of Atlantis.


This Ibiza sea excursion from San Antonio takes you along the island's most rugged and celebrated shoreline, bringing you face to face with the towering silhouette of Es Vedra and the ancient stone terraces of Sa Pedrera, known to generations of travellers as Atlantis. The journey combines scenic coastal navigation, a guided swim stop in clear water, and a light snack served on board.

The excursion departs from the port of San Antonio following a hotel pick-up by air-conditioned coach. On board, a guide explains the landmarks and natural features visible along the coast, making the passage informative as well as scenic. The glass bottom of the boat offers views of the seabed throughout the crossing.

The route curves around the southwestern tip of Ibiza to reach Cala d'Hort, the bay that faces Es Vedra directly. The boat anchors here to allow passengers to swim in calm, transparent water before moving on to Sa Pedrera, the dramatic quarried cliffside that the hippie community of the 1960s renamed Atlantis for its otherworldly appearance. The return journey follows the same coastline back to San Antonio, where coaches wait to transfer guests to their hotels.
