Ibiza Island Tour with Can Marca Caves, Las Salinas and Portinatx
This tour shines the spotlight on all four corners of the island. Calling by Las Salinas, Portinatx and San Miguel, you'll also stop by the party town of San Antonio or upscale Santa Eulalia. Lucia, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Ibiza once relied on salt production, and while the salt pans are still in use, they are now protected as part of a much larger nature reserve in order to safeguard the wildlife – in particular the many species of birds that use the area as a staging post as they migrate from Africa to Europe. Look out for the distinctive pink flamingos wading through the ponds.'In the morning, you'll pass by the snowy-white salt flats of Las Salinas. A huge patchwork of wetlands, it was the isle's chief earner for over 2,000 years. In the cutesy village of San Jose, you can grab a coffee in the town square or visit the attention-grabbing 18th century fortress church. The village retains a traditional Ibizan vibe, and enjoys a scenic location on the foothills of Sa Talaia, Ibiza's tallest mountain, which reaches 475 metres.After a short photo stop in San Antonio or Santa Eulalia – depending on your departure point – you'll have some free time to potter around the pretty coastal resort of Portinatx and choose from one of the local restaurants for a typical lunch. Your final stop is the dinky port of San Miguel, clustered around its narrow cove, and the Caves of Can Marca. A tour of the caves rounds off with a short sound and light show before heading back to resort.

The inside story
Hidden along Ibiza’s rugged northern coastline, the Can Marçà Caves offer a glimpse into a hidden underground world shaped over thousands of years. Once used by smugglers as a hideout and to traffic goods along the cliffs, these natural caves now invite you to admire dramatic rock formations, winding tunnels and viewpoints carved into the cliffside overlooking the Mediterranean.
Follow guided routes through the caves as light and sound effects bring the underground chambers to life, highlighting stalactites, stalagmites and ancient geological layers. Along the way, you’ll also reach the old lookout point, where smugglers once watched for approaching boats and where you can now take in eye-catching views of the sea. And, if you look closely, you’ll still see marks used by smugglers to identify hidden entry points. The Can Marçà Caves are a great way to get to know one of Ibiza’s most atmospheric natural attractions, where history and geology meet high above the sea.
