SNORKELING · SUNSET SNORKELING CRUISES IN SPAIN
The good sunset snorkeling cruises in Spain fill up weeks ahead and the small boats go first. Below: the 10 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Cruise from Can Pastilla toward Palma’s marine reserve, stop to swim and snorkel near spots such as Cala Vella, and enjoy a BBQ, fruit, one included drink, music, and a friendly crew. Choose a daytime or sunset departure. Expect a social boat atmosphere, not a quiet sailing trip.
“Great! I recomand it! Friendly staff, good food, the sunset was amazing!”
Join an English- or Spanish-speaking crew from San Antonio for a three-hour West Coast boat trip. Swim and snorkel at Cala Bassa and Cala Conta, try a paddleboard, look into a sea cave when conditions allow, and toast sunset with Cava and included drinks.
“It was a lovely activity to do in san antoni Bay would recommend 👌. The staff was very helpful and nice thank you 😊”
Spend about six hours on a boat from San Antonio, stopping at Cala Comte, Cala Bassa, and smaller coves for swimming, SUP, snorkelling, and slides. Food, soft drinks, water, beer, sangria, and cava are included, with the sunset as the grand finale.
“This was by far the absolute best tour of all the tours I took this week. Excellent. It includes transportation to beautiful beaches, drinks, food. What an absolutely wonderful deal. Best of Ibiza in my opinion.”
Board Salvador Ibiza in San Antonio for a relaxed three-hour cruise along Ibiza’s west coast. Daniel and the crew provide kayaks, SUP boards, snorkeling gear, fruit, brunch-style snacks, and unlimited drinks before a sunset sail past Cala Comte and Cala Bassa.
“The crew was energetic and helpful. The swimming activities were great! Snacks and beverages were plentiful!”
Join a wooden-decked boat from San Antonio for three hours along Ibiza’s western coast. Swim in a quiet cove, use the included snorkeling, kayak, and paddleboard gear, enjoy fruit and soft drinks, and listen to music as the light fades. Ramiro is one crew member singled out for friendly help.
“We loved our boat trip! The little cove the team took us to paddleboard was beautiful. Great value for the trip and drinks. We even saw dolphins on our ride!! Ramiro was especially fun and helpful. Would recommend eating beforehand!”
You’ll sail from Alcudia on a 4.5-hour evening catamaran cruise with a multilingual crew, stopping at a quiet cove for swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding, and kayaking. A BBQ buffet, two drinks, sunset views, and a return under sail are included. Snorkel gear costs extra.
“Very fun and family-friendly activity! Saw beautiful places with the tour which you can only reach by boat. You get a lot of free time for swimming, snorkelling and you can even get a canoe or go paddleboarding. There’s a bar on board for drinks & snacks. Dinner is also included. Simple, but still delicious! The sunset is amazing and there will be good music on board for dancing with the crew :). It’s everything what you expect.”
Join Sa Calma Boats for a 3.5-hour evening cruise from Port d’Andratx. You’ll pass Dragonera, stop near Sant Elm for swimming and snorkeling, collect handmade pizza, and return with a drink as the sun fades. Bring a towel and arrive early because boarding closes 10 minutes before departure.
“We had an amazing evenings cruise! The crew, the pizza, the snorkel, the sunset, all amazing!”
Set sail from Alcudiamar for a three-hour sunset cruise along Mallorca’s north coast. Enjoy cava, sangria, wine, beer, soft drinks, tapas, chilled music, and time to swim, snorkel, or paddleboard near Alcanada Lighthouse. Groups are capped at 12.
“I attended this with my partner , and I would 100% recommend. The staff were lovely and our drinks were topped up throughout the evening. There was two stops where people could swim or just watch the views. There was tapas laid out for everyone. The boat could hold around 30/40 people but there was a maximum booking of 12 people which made it so much more spacious for everyone. The boat was beautiful , and seeing the sunset on our last night really made the holiday. So worth it for the money!”
Join Ana aboard the sailboat Cisne Negro for a four-hour cruise from Santa Pola to Tabarca. Swim and snorkel in the protected reserve, try a paddleboard, enjoy local snacks and a drink, then watch the sun set over the bay on the way back.
“Helt perfekt eftermiddag/kvälls aktivitet! Ana var otroligt trevlig och gästvänlig + stor och fin segelbåt. Gott vin/öl och snacks. Solnedgången över Santa pola var så mysig att se från en segelbåt! Kan varmt rekommendera!”
Paddle Alicante Bay for 150 minutes as the sun drops behind Mount Benacantil and the Serra Grossa Mountains. Blue Valley Adventures provides a sea kayak, safety gear, insurance, and a certified guide in Spanish, English, Italian, or French. Snorkeling is included, though sea conditions and group pace can shape the outing.
“Cuando llegamos la instructora nos dio unas nociones híper básicas. En menos de 2 minutos lo explicó todo. Eramos 9 , 3 amigas iban juntas en un kayak porque una se apuntó en el último momento. A esas 3 chicas les costó más y la instructora iba por su cuenta. No nos Prestó atención ni a ellas ni a las demás. La primera parada vino en una explanada con algas y rocas. Nunca se nos avisó de que teníamos que llevar calzado. Por lo que bajamos de los kayak (sin ayuda alguna de la chica) y al subirme a mi kayak me resbalé y me clavé un erizo de mar…”
By the animal, the hull, or the kind of coast.
