Everything you should know before you book
Formentera, the smallest inhabited Balearic island, sits a 30-minute ferry from Ibiza and has the closest thing the Mediterranean offers to Caribbean sand — Ses Illetes and Llevant are world-class beaches. A Formentera day trip, whether a simple round-trip ferry or a guided day tour, is the most popular excursion from Ibiza.
Book the Formentera ferry early in summer — sailings fill up, and the island caps car access, so an organised trip removes the hassle. If you'd rather stay on Ibiza, a full-day excursion or a private tour covers the interior, the calas, and the viewpoints with a guide and a flexible pace.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the ferry from Ibiza to Formentera?
The fast ferry takes about 30 minutes from Ibiza Town port. A round-trip ticket lets you spend the day on Formentera's beaches and return in the evening.
Is a guided Formentera day trip better than the ferry alone?
The ferry round trip is cheaper and flexible; a guided day tour adds structure, beach stops, and sometimes transport on the island. Choose by how independent you want to be.
What does a private Ibiza tour cover?
Private tours are tailored to your interests — typically the best calas, inland villages, and viewpoints like Es Vedrà — at your own pace with a dedicated guide.
