A wind-licked sliver of spray kicks up as the boat slips from the Port of Cabo de Palos, and the Mediterranean opens before you: a band of deep blue broken by limestone outcrops and small coves. The motor's steady thrum becomes the trip's tempo as the captain threads the boat toward the Islas Hormigas and the sheer face of Farallón, where waves have carved rugged ledges and underwater relief drops off quickly.

Wear secure water shoes
Boat decks and rocky shores can be slippery; low‑profile water shoes help with boarding and exits.
Prepare for possible seasickness
Take motion‑sickness meds 30–60 minutes before departure if you’re sensitive; calmer morning crossings are easier.
