We’re particularly drawn to the way this tour combines adventure and authenticity, the intimate size making it personal and flexible, and the chance to see hidden beaches and caves that aren’t on the usual tourist map. The expert guide with 10 years of experience adds a trustworthy touch to the experience, making sure you see the best of Ibiza’s lesser-known corners.

Why This Tour Stands Out
Ibiza is often associated with wild nightlife, but this tour offers a refreshing alternative—an exploration of its quiet, untouched beauty. The combination of vintage Land Rover Defender transportation and a knowledgeable guide makes the journey both fun and educational. The guides’ passion for the island shines through, as evidenced by reviews praising their friendliness, helpfulness, and multilingual skills.
What we truly appreciate is the careful curation of stops—from the renowned Es Vedra to hidden beaches like Es Cubells, and secret caves near Cala Comte. This isn’t just about ticking off tourist sites; it’s about genuinely experiencing Ibiza’s quieter, more authentic side. Plus, the small group size—capped at 15 travelers—ensures a more intimate, relaxed experience, allowing plenty of room for conversation and spontaneous stops.
The Itinerary in Detail
Stop 1: Es Cubells – Ibiza’s Most Hidden Beach
The tour kicks off at Es Cubells, often called Ibiza’s most hidden beach. Unlike the packed main beaches, this spot offers a peaceful stretch of sand, perfect for a quiet escape. With about an hour here, you can relax, snap photos of the rugged coastline, or simply enjoy the tranquility. Reviewers mention that this beach, free of crowds, truly feels like a secret. Kimberly_H describes the views as “breathtaking,” and many mention how this spot alone is worth the trip.
Stop 2: Es Vedra Viewpoint – A Secret Overlook
Next, you’ll head to a hidden viewpoint over Es Vedra, one of Ibiza’s most famous yet often crowded sights. Here, the landscape feels untouched, with panoramic views that are especially striking at sunset. The stop lasts around 30 minutes, and visitors often comment that this viewpoint offers a new perspective away from the usual tourist crowds. It’s perfect for photos and soaking in the mystical vibe of the island.

Stop 3: Cala Comte and Nearby Cave
The third stop is at Cala Comte, renowned for its clear waters and beautiful setting. But what makes this stop special is a nearby hidden cave, far from the busy beach area. You get about an hour here, enough time to explore the cave, take a swim, or snorkel in the secluded coves. Reviewers like Monica_S loved the opportunity to snorkel in protected waters, describing it as a “fantastic” experience, especially with the guide’s help.
Stop 4: Off-the-Beaten-Path Ibiza
The final segment takes you to less touristy, more local spots—places that aren’t on any map for most visitors. The guide shares insights about the island’s history and culture, making this part both informative and authentic. Reviewers like Robert_H appreciated the chance to see Ibiza “away from the crowds” and enjoy a more genuine experience.
What to Expect on the Journey
The tour lasts around 4 hours, with a flexible start time that varies depending on sunset and weather conditions. The Land Rover Defender adds a nostalgic, rugged feel, perfect for off-road exploration. The group stays small—up to 15 travelers—ensuring personalized attention, and the guide often takes photos or offers recommendations tailored to your interests.
Participants are encouraged to bring hiking shoes, swimwear, a towel, and plenty of water, as the terrain can be dusty and uneven. Some reviewers mention hiking involved, with some locations requiring effort to reach, so physical fitness and appropriate footwear are essential.

Guides: Knowledgeable and Passionate
The reviews consistently praise the guides, with Antoine, Pablo, and Christian mentioned by numerous guests. They’re described as “informative,” “friendly,” and “passionate,” often going above and beyond—helping with photos, sharing local insights, and guiding even those with limited mobility through rough terrain. Their enthusiasm enhances the experience, making it more than just a sightseeing trip.
