Raoul was our tour guide and he took such GREAT care of us. Very communicative before we got there. Gave us a kayak lesson and took us on the most magnificent tour of the caves and the gorgeous water. We were coming from a cruise ship and he made sure we had transportation back to the port. Highly highly recommend

Loveliest experience kayaking with Raul!! We were both beginners and he constantly made sure we were doing okay and not behind the group. He was really friendly and knowledgeable! You can truly feel his love for the sea and nature. He also reassured me after I got stung by a jellyfish 🤣 We definitely recommend him, it’ll be such a memorable time :)

Overview

Paddle along Cala Xarraca by kayak to discover the tranquil coves and caves of the sweeping bay. Choose between a private tour or a group that's limited to 12 people, and traverse between the islets on a route to Cala Xuclar, a tucked-away cove that's easier to reach from water than from the land. Cool down with a swim in the shallow waters, then paddle back, stopping to jump from the rocks (if you dare).
  • Enjoy flexibility with private and small-group tours
  • Find secluded Ibiza coves that would be difficult to discover alone
  • Make use of provided snorkel equipment to explore beneath the sea
  • Kayak in a small group for peace of mind that an instructor is nearby

A great experience! Raul was such a good instructor. He was very professional, explained what we were doing and where we were going. He took us to some great places. We see some cool caves, did a cliff jump and did some snorkeling. And I saw 2 baby barracuda's. Such a beautiful place! Highly recommend!

Elisa_N, Jul 2026
100% recommend to anyone!! It is a bit physically challenging towards the end if you’re not used to paddling so much with the arms but the views, the caves and memories you get from this are exceptional and totally worth it! The tour guide Raul was perfect for this, super professional and funny too really a great guy and accommodating

Loveliest experience...

So much fun!

Gabrielle_V, Jul 2026
This kayaking tour was great, our guide was very respectful of the different skills. We didn't get to snorkel as much as intended because of jelly fish but they were fun to watch float by from the safety of our kayaks. Overall it was a great adventure and a good workout for the arms.

First time kayaking, the best!

Marlyn_R, Jun 2026
I have never done kayaking before and i felt so comfortable with my tour guide. The amazing places he brought us and told us about the history. After that we went for a nice snorkeling moment. I’m definitely doing this again!

BEST Kayak Adventure

Don_S, Jun 2026
This was by far the best kayak trip I’ve ever experienced. Raúl was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. The crystal-clear blue waters, combined with the opportunity to snorkel, made this an unforgettable and truly unique experience. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Sarah_S, Jun 2026
I had a fantastic time on this kayak tour and would highly recommend it. The instructor was friendly and knowledgeable. The pace was good and not too fast, it was easy to keep up and enjoy the surroundings. We saw some beautiful caves and spent some time snorkelling at a secluded beach. The instructor was taking pictures along the way (I haven’t received them yet but I’m sure they will be nice!). Overall this was a highlight of my trip.

Brilliant

Amanda_B, Sep 2025
What an experience! 🌊✨ I’d truly recommend it to anyone. How would I describe it? Peaceful. Tranquil. The kind of moment that makes you forget about time altogether. Sometimes it’s these pauses—where the world slows down—that give us the energy to come back stronger. #experience #balance #mindset #ibiza

Messed up

Reed_F, Sep 2025
The Tour operator didn’t show up. I texted and called but didn’t receive an answer. I paid $90 in taxi fares so it was really disappointing not doing the tour

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Hello, I'm so sorry about your bad experience. Obviously, a mistake was made in the management. I apologize; this has never happened to us before. I refunded the tour cost 100%. We're human, and sometimes we make mistakes. If you return to Ibiza in the future, you'll get a free tour with us. We apologize once again.

We had a blast!! We rowed...

Kayla_S, Sep 2025
We had a blast!! We rowed to a couple caves and got the chance to cliff jump!! It ended with snorkeling which was mindblowing.

Great fun!

Fantastic! Do miss this if you come to Ibiza

Michael_R, Aug 2025
This stop was one of the highlights of our Mediterranean cruise. Ibiza is spectacular and the kayaking trip was fantastic. My adult daughters loved it, especially the cliff jumping. The guide was friendly and professional. I highly recommend this experience.

Amazing

Dennis_D, Aug 2025
It was an amazing experience! Thank you Raoul. Nice person, good vibes, stunning views, good explanation of the island and the kayak.

Wonderful kayak trip, amazing views!

Sondra_S, Jul 2025
This was a great trip! Super fun kayak experience with caves, cliff jumping (if you want) and snorkeling. Our guide Raúl was awesome and he took lots of photos and sent them to us.

Wonderful kayak trip with experienced guide.

Nicky_C, Jul 2025
We had a wonderful time on the 10:00 o'clock kayak experience with Raul. Raul adjusted the itinerary to the weather, so that we could still do kayakking, cliff jumping and snorkling at a little beach at a leisurely pace. The water was crystal blue, the temperature a heavenly 29 degrees C and the experience golden. Raul takes very good care of the group, giving very clear instructions, being serious with safety when needed, and being fun and sharing fun island facts. He also took great pictures and videos of us all which we got as part of the experience. All the equipment is provided for (snorkling gear, life jackets, special bags to keep personal items dry and the kayaks). He is a very amiable guide and we had a memorable experience! Highly recommend.

Must do

Manu_V, Jul 2025
Great and fun experience! First of all you get to see beautiful spots and views. Cliff diving was a lot of fun, a must do. On top of that, our guide Raoul was very experienced and perfectly guided us across the waves.

Very cool Kajak Trip around Cala Xaraca, Cala Xuclar, S‘Illot des Rencli, Caves and Cliff Jumping

Martina_L, Jul 2025
Great Tour with a very nice and caring guide. We enjoyed the caves, the climbing/cliff jumping and the snorkelling a lot!! Our kids (14, 12 and 8) were all absolutely happy and thankful for this cool trio!! We absolutely recommend it!! Five stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience - would definitely recommend!

Claire_C, Jun 2025
We had such an amazing time kayaking with Raúl. He has lots of stories of the area. Conditions were amazing and the water was beautiful. We stopped in a little area as well for some snorkeling which was incredible. Raúl also provides a wet bag so that you can safely store your gear and bring it with you. He also took lots of photos and sent them on to us so we didn’t have to which was great. Gracias Raúl! Also, at the meeting spot there’s a lovely restaurant. We went for lunch before the trip so it was a perfect day. Plenty of parking there as well but it does get busy.

Fabulous kayak tour many...

Fabulous kayak tour many interesting features beautiful clear water knowledgable relaxed guide Raul, snorkelling and cliff jumping! What a great activity north ibiza

Living in Ibiza 13 years but I never saw it like this. A great experience.

Aron_B, May 2025
It’s amazing. Raul is an excellent guide, competent, engaging, observant and funny. He’s set up this experience for a beautiful perspective of Ibiza that you cannot get any other way. The water was fantastic, the caves, the light, the colors, the rock formations. Great program. I’ll do it again.

Raul was truly a great...

Raul was truly a great instructor. My friend and I had a fantastic time on the water. It was our first time kayaking, and Raul made sure we were comfortable and having a good time.

Loved Raul!

Pam_N, Oct 2024
Raul was such a wonderful guide. His knowledge and pure love of the beautiful surroundings really enhanced the experience.

Unforgettable

Leah_S, Oct 2024
Our guide was very knowledgeable and experienced. He is A true islander! Prettiest place to visit! Smaller group sizes and very private.

Beautiful, active and memorable

TraceyAnn_F, Aug 2024
Excellent trip, beautiful scenery and wonderful guide. We had a blast. Not only did we visit some caves and really experience kayaking in the med, we also got to spend 30 minutes at a private beach and go cliff jumping afterwards! Memorable all around.

Amazing Adventure, Must Do!

Kristeen_M, Aug 2024
Amazing time with Raul and his crew! Everything was explained clearly (in English), they made sure at all times the kayakers were ok and staying on course. Everyone loved the cliff jumping and the rest stop was perfect with a bar and bathrooms :) He also gave us little facts about the island and the views and history! To add the water was incredible in that part of the island.. Overall 5 stars if not more!!

Best family activity

Sandra_S, Aug 2024
This was by far the best family tour we took on the island! With a group of 6 ranging from 9 to 72 yrs and various fitness levels, we were looking for something to do together on the water. From the moment we booked, the communication and service were impeccable. We had to change the date of our tour due to the weather and were so glad we did. The instructions were easy to follow (we had several kayaking novices in the group) and we set off on a 3 hour kayak tour around some of the most beautiful and wild coves around Ibiza’s north. The snorkelling was a big hit with the family. Tip - bring some cash for the chiiringuito at the beach. The dry backpacks hold clothes/towels. You can easily park at the beach (plenty of space when we arrived). Raúl is truly passionate about nature - he spends a great amount of time explaining the area, how it is changing, and was a great teacher! He also send us lots of pictures from the tour! We can only recommend this tour with him and will be back!

Excellent Experience

Thomas_C, Jul 2024
We had a great time. The caves were really interesting and the guide gave us information on the surrounding area. The paddling wasn't hard. We had several opportunities to get out and swim or jump off a rock into the water. The equipment was in good condition. I would do it again.

Great exploration of the bay

ROGER_S, Jul 2024
Raul knows the area well and was very good in helping those of the group who were less confident/competent in kayaking. He clearly has a love for his sport and the area which comes across well. The trip was in 2-person kayaks (open deck, easy-access type) with buoyancy aids, paddles, dry-bags & snorkels provided - don't forget some water! The route taken is clearly weather and group-ability dependent but we were able to paddle into sea caves on both sides of the bay and to paddle across the open bay. We had a couple of stops for snorkelling/swimming and those who chose to do so could scramble up to jump off a rock. The shore lines are rocky & slippery so swim shoes/rubber sandals a good idea but folk coped without them. We got to see about 5 species of fish, some quite large. Unfortunately in summer jelly fish can be a problem so you do have to keep your eyes open for the wretched critters! We are both experienced kayakers who have taken groups out ourselves and both enjoyed the trip - would recommend Raul to others. Not an adrenaline trip for us but a pleasant experience but we are sure it would be both for many. We were lucky with a gloriously sunny, pretty calm day so that the amazing colours of the water stood out. Raul was kind enough to take pics & to email them afterwards without further charge - a lovely added "extra"

Amazing experience and great instructor
