Ibiza is unquestionably by far one of the most magical places to spend your holidays. With its white Ibiza-styled houses, enchanting sunsets, stylish parties, and dreamlike beaches, no wonder has it become one of many people's getaway-weaknesses!

One of the latest and original activities to incorporate in one's vacation in Ibiza is to discover the island by kayak. Its 210 km-coastline with calm turquoise waters, mysterious caves, and hidden coves make up for an enjoyable experience to explore this marvellous island while kayaking with friends and family.

However, among the many activities you can enjoy in Ibiza, have you ever wondered what it's like to kayak under a full moon? This activity can turn from being merely a fun water sport to a spiritual and romantic experience when enjoying it under this captivating lunar event. When planning your stay here, you should definitely include this activity in your itinerary!

Just imagine after a pleasant day wandering around Ibiza and enjoying lovely cocktails in San Antonio or basking in the sun on a comfy hammock in Cala Salada-- you then decide to book a kayaking excursion in the evening to witness the beautiful full moon.

You set off a while before the sun sets to contemplate the burning-gold-red scene in the sky, and enjoy the sights and sounds of the bay area. While you drift along the glistening sea, you then begin to witness how the moon starts to rise until occupying its rightful place in the sky and see how the glowing orb illuminates the beautiful coastline. You can then decide to pop a bottle of cava and delight yourself and your significant other while soaking up the magical vibes of the full moon.

At a distance, the kayaks resemble floating lanterns in the sea, as the moon shimmers across the darkened water. And from your viewpoint, you can even view the stunning city buildings lit up against the night sky.

What an experience, huh?!

What's more, the possibilities for kayak routes are endless! Obviously, there are some whose fame surpasses others, such as the route through es Vedrà, but rest assured that any route you choose will make up for a lifetime of fond memories.
