The boat slips away from Sant Antoni’s concrete piers and the shoreline folds open—white sand, orange cliffs and hidden caves rearrange the view every ten minutes. Salt-slick cliffs dare you closer; gulls argue with the wake. On this private four‑hour cruise you move at the pace of the coast, stopping to swim in Cala Bassa’s clear shelves, snorkel over seagrass beds at Cala Conta, and enter the Cueva del Amor by boat, where shadow and stone meet the sea.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

Geology here is compacted limestone and sandstone, carved by waves into steep cliffs, sea arches and caves that once sheltered fishermen and, for a livelier chapter, the occasional smuggler. Cultural traces remain: low white fisher houses and ladder‑cut steps in the rock. The surrounding waters ride over Posidonia meadows—essential habitat for fish and occasional loggerhead turtles—so responsible anchoring is standard practice.
Practical guidance: bring reef‑safe sunscreen, a mask and snorkel, a towel and water shoes for rocky landings. The skipper chooses the route to match wind and swell; mornings are calmer and offer clearer water for snorkelling. Expect easy boarding from the port; the tour is suitable for most fitness levels but requires basic swimming confidence. Hydrate before you go and stow small items in a dry bag—phones will want protection.
This trip is private and flexible: it’s ideal for families, small groups, or photographers who want to time light across the islands. The sea pulls you along, and the skipper reads its mood so you can focus on the water, the caves and the kind of quiet you only get from the middle of the Mediterranean.
