Ibiza Jeep Tour: Hidden Viewpoints and Beach Swims

At $129 per person, this is a 5-hour day in an all-terrain vehicle with a local guide. It starts with a pickup near your accommodation; check the pickup options for your address when you book. From there the jeep leaves the main tourist routes for quiet backstreets and dirt tracks, on the way to viewpoints that are hard to reach in an ordinary car.

The highlights put the focus on the north of the island, and the full description adds stops in the west and east. At each viewpoint the guide talks about the history and culture of Ibiza, its plants and its wildlife. Guides speak Dutch, English, German, Spanish, Catalan and French.

The beach stop is Benirràs, on the north coast, with plenty of time to swim or lie on the sand. Lunch is handed out there: a bocadillo, the Spanish baguette, with sausage, cheese and salad. There is a vegetarian version without sausage; mention it when you book.

At $146 per person, rated 4.8 from 300 reviews, the 4x4 tour heads for the west of the island. The listing names four stops: the coast around Cala Comte, a sea cave, a beach with clear water where you can swim and snorkel, and a viewpoint that looks out to Es Vedrà.

The group is capped at 15, and the guide speaks Spanish, English or French. The vehicle is a classic 4x4 with its original seats and no air conditioning; the listing says it is built for adventure rather than comfort. On a hot day, carry water and a hat.

You meet the vehicle at a set pickup point, and there is a second pickup in Sant Antoni if you ask for it in your booking. Check where you will be dropped off: the listing names Ibiza Town in one place and Sant Antoni in another. The start time can move with the season, and the exact time comes by message or email the day before.

Book the jeep discovery tour. For most people it is the better day: the lower of the two prices at $129 per person, pickup near your accommodation, lunch on the beach at Benirràs and a 4.9 rating from 1,564 reviews.

Here to snorkel, or staying near Sant Antoni? The 4x4 highlights tour at $146 per person gives you the Cala Comte coast, a sea cave and the Es Vedrà view, in a group of 15 or fewer.
