The path drops away from a scrubby pine ridge and the sea opens in sudden blue—Es Vedrà rising like a jagged silhouette off the coast, wind pushing salt across your face. You begin on sun-baked track and end at a small parking pullout; a short descent delivers you to a hidden cove where the water dares you to slip in and follow the current toward a shallow sea cave.

The path drops away from a scrubby pine ridge and the sea opens in sudden blue—Es Vedrà rising like a jagged silhouette off the coast, wind pushing salt across your face. You begin on sun-baked track and end at a small parking pullout; a short descent delivers you to a hidden cove where the water dares you to slip in and follow the current toward a shallow sea cave.
This loop combines natural history and human story: the limestone coasts here are part of the Balearic archipelago’s folded geology, eroded into cliffs and caves. Torre des Savinar stands above the bay, a stone watchtower that once scanned for corsairs; locals still tell old stories about Es Vedrà’s odd magnetic tales. Vegetation is Mediterranean—pines, rosemary and dwarf palms—while the seabed holds Posidonia meadows crucial to marine life.
Expect four active hours: a guided transfer to the trailhead, roughly 15 minutes' descent to the cove, a coastal hike with uneven terrain, and a guided snorkel toward the jellyfish cave. The pace is moderate; guides are Ibicencos who know local currents and the safest lines into the cave.
Practical notes: wear sturdy shoes for rocky trails and water shoes for the shore entry, pack sunscreen and fresh water, and bring a mask if you prefer your own fit. The tour is not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with serious heart conditions. Time your visit earlier in the day to avoid the hottest sun and to have calmer sea conditions for snorkeling.
moderate.
4 hours.
Moderate fitness with the ability to hike uneven terrain and swim/snorkel short distances; not suitable for people with significant cardiac conditions or pregnancy.
You need a moderate level of fitness: comfortable walking on uneven trails, able to descend and ascend short steep sections, and able to snorkel short distances in open water.
Guides typically provide basic snorkel equipment on request, but many participants bring their own masks for better fit and fog control—check with the operator when booking.
The operator will contact you by phone with the exact meeting point; instructions note waiting at the designated bus stop where guides in company clothing will pick you up.
Children who are competent swimmers and can hike moderate terrain can join, but check age limits with the operator and inform them of any special requirements when booking.
Torre des Savinar is an old coastal watchtower used in the early modern era to warn of pirate raids; local folklore also spins legends around the nearby Es Vedrà rock.
This coastline supports Posidonia seagrass beds—avoid anchoring on meadows, don’t touch marine life during snorkeling, and stick to paths to prevent erosion.
