Offering departures from Ibiza Town and Playa den Bossa/Figueretas, the low-cost ferry service Aquabus is an unbeatable way of getting to this lesser-known jewel. If you are staying in the resort of Santa Eulalia, on the east coast of Ibiza, you´ll be pleased to hear there is a direct ferry from there, too.
Once you´ve arrived, you might want to source your own way to get around. That´s where our guide to getting about Formentera comes in hand. For those particularly keen to do it by scooter or e-bike, local company Moto Rent Pujols has pick-up and drop-off points all over the island.
For those of you that ache to visit Ibiza's sister island Formentera and want to do it with ease, there is a simple way, and that's by booking one of the boat and island tour trips. You pack lots into the day and the price is within most people's price range. It's pure leisure and pleasure. Does that sound good? We think so.
Formentera is surrounded by stunning seas
Es Vedrà and Formentera cruise, which departs from San Antonio, will bring you close to the mysterious islet of Es Vedrà and the heavenly islet of Espalmador for a swim and snorkel. Luxuriate there while a delicious Ibizan paella is being prepared for you on board. You will have approx. 4 hours on Formentera, so you can either walk, rent a car, bike, or scooter, or simply take the bus to discover this beautiful island.
The port of La Savina

The picturesque beach of Es Pujols
During a leisurely cruise across to Formentera, take in coastal scenery and landmarks, such as lighthouses, and enjoy gliding over a glittering sea. On the outward and return trip, there's an open bar offering beer, sangría and soft drinks. All is set up for a great day out.
Formentera is a delight. Its captivating aquamarine waters dazzle and its sublime beaches are among the best in the whole of Europe. It's one of those places where you really do think that time has stopped still. Take a deep breath and feel the relaxation move like waves through your body. We challenge anyone not to love it.
San Francisco's main square and church
You'll be filled with excitement as you arrive in the port of La Savina, sailing past moored up boats, watching people walk this way and that, and contemplating your day out on Ibiza's “hippy little sister” isle.
One particular delight is visiting its stunning beaches of Es Pujols, Es Caló and the award-winning Playa Illetes to swim and sunbathe and, if you choose, the La Mola lighthouse too. A lunch of salad and paella in the middle of the day in the village of San Francisco will more than keep hunger at bay.
Go and see the lighthouse or laze on the beach
At the end of a very fulfilling day, before you set sail to go back home, there's even time to walk around La Savina, look at the artisan goods on the market stalls or just chill and cool down with an ice cream or a drink.
Wait no longer: climb on board the Es Vedrà and Formentera cruise or get a group together for the Discover Ibiza boat trip and enjoy a terrific day out.
