Ibiza is often associated with nightlife and fast-paced tourism, but for many families, the island offers something far more meaningful: nature, discovery, and shared experiences that children remember long after the holiday ends.
We were recently grateful to see Meet the Sea featured in Metro, in an article by Rosy Shearman: "I went to Ibiza to rave with my toddler-you should too" exploring a different side of Ibiza one where families with young children can connect with the sea in a safe, thoughtful, and enriching way.

Why this mention matters to us
At Meet the Sea, we have always believed that the sea is not just a backdrop for entertainment, but a powerful space for learning, curiosity, and emotional connection: especially for children.
Our Family Boat Trip in Ibiza was created with this idea at its core. Rather than loud attractions or rushed activities, we focus on:
- Helping children feel confident in the sea
- Introducing them to real marine life in a calm, guided way
- Encouraging respect for nature through direct experience
- Giving families time to slow down and share something meaningful together
Seeing this philosophy reflected in a national publication like Metro reinforces why we do what we do.
Ibiza through a family lens
Ibiza has an extraordinary marine environment. Clear waters, protected areas, and rich biodiversity make it an ideal classroom without walls.
During our family boat trips, children often experience:
- Their first guided snorkel
- Encounters with starfish, octopus, and Mediterranean fish
- Simple explanations of marine reserves and sea protection
- The confidence that comes from overcoming fear in open water
- Parents frequently tell us that this becomes one of the most talked-about moments of the holiday.
A quieter, more meaningful side of the island
We’re proud to be part of a growing conversation that shows Ibiza as a destination for families seeking more than just entertainment — families who value learning, safety, and connection.
Thank you to Metro and Rosy Shearman for taking the time to explore and share this perspective.
If you’re planning a family holiday to Ibiza and are curious about discovering the island from the sea, we’re always happy to answer questions and share what makes this environment so special.
