 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an exceptional experience. We went as a group of all adults, however there were lots of families with children of various ages on the boat too. Age simply didn't matter for this trip.
Greg is a truly enthusiastic guide, with a true passion for the sea and all the life that lives within it. It was truly magical to snorkel in the clear water and be guided around some beautiful marine life. Topped off with Paella on board and games for the kids.

I strongly recommend anyone thinking about taking boat trip to book with Greg and the Meet the Sea team. You will not regret it. It was a truly memorable day and one that I can't wait to do again.

Thanks to all the crew too. X

Pasamos un día increíble con **Meet and Sea en San Antonio**. Luisa y Gregorio y el resto de tripulacion,fueron encantadores desde el primer momento y tuvieron un trato maravilloso con los niños. Se preocuparon muchísimo por ellos, les enseñaron un montón de cosas sobre el mar y consiguieron que estuvieran entretenidos y felices durante todo el paseo. ❤️

Nos llevaron hasta **Sa Conillera**, un lugar precioso, y disfrutamos muchísimo del día en el barco. Y para rematar, ¡una **paella buenísima**! 🥘

Sin duda, una experiencia para repetir. Si buscáis hacer algo diferente, divertido y especial en Ibiza con niños, **lo recomendamos al 100 %**.

Gracias, Luisa y Gregorio, por hacerlo todo tan fácil y por regalarnos un día tan bonito. 🌊☀️💙

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such a great and original boat trip, especially designed for families with kids! Everything was so well thought out: the food, plenty of shade, the activities and even a treasure hunt at the end. The whole team was incredibly child-friendly, and everything was explained in both Spanish and English.

The 4–5 hour morning trip was also the perfect length with children,enough time to enjoy the experience without making it a full, exhausting day. We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend it to families visiting Ibiza!

Marine Life Discover Session.

A gentle introduction to the sea (and everything in it)

As we leave the harbour of San Antonio or Port des Torrent and cruise along Ibiza’s beautiful west coast towards the Nature Reserve of Sa Conillera, the experience begins right away. You will also get to experience the beautiful coasts of Cala Bassa, Cala Comte and Port D’es Torrent.

Our team shares a fun and informative introduction to the marine life you’ll soon see underwater during our guided snorkelling tour, bringing the underwater world to life in a way that’s easy for both children and adults to enjoy.

We’re not a glass-bottom boat so you won’t just look at the sea, you’ll fully experience it. Instead of being spectators we want you to be fully part of this authentic true Ibiza snorkelling experience, a memory that will last forever.

Before entering the water, we also take time to make sure everyone feels comfortable and above all safety first. Life vests are available for everyone, and our guides use an additional floating support line so children and beginners can relax and enjoy the experience with confidence knowing that our double-aspect safety measure is keeping everyone safe.

Our guided snorkelling tour designed by a marine biologist and led by a sea expert.

Once we anchor in the calm, clear waters of Sa Conillera, it’s time to get ready.

We’ll help each of you personally with your mask, snorkel, and any equipment you need making sure everyone feels comfortable before heading into the water.

Our snorkelling experience has been designed by a marine biologist and is led by our friendly, experienced team who stay in the water with you throughout guiding you to see the beautiful underwater world. Here are some of the species you can see during our trips.

There’s no pressure, no rush, just a chance to explore at your own pace.

Why families love it and trust us:

Extra safety support for children and non-swimmers
Our team guiding and helping you in the water at all times

Live cooking at sea

While you relax and enjoy the surroundings, our chef prepares a traditional paella right in front of you using fresh, local ingredients from Ibiza.

It’s simple, authentic, and made for everyone to enjoy, including a child-friendly version (no fish or fishbones) and a delicious vegetarian option. Also good for those who have allergies to nuts and fish, or lactose and gluten intolerance.

There’s something special about sharing a freshly cooked meal at sea, a simple shared moment that becomes a unique memory.
