Have you decided to spend your holidays with your friends in Ibiza? Or maybe with your partner? Well, you should know you can’t leave Ibiza without discovering Formentera island. You’ve surely heard about it. It’s become a very popular tourist attraction. Formed out of crystal clear waters, surrounded by dunes and pines, it’s the ideal destination for a beach day. It’s perfect for sports like snorkeling.

How do you get to Formentera? The best way of visiting Formentera is traveling by ferry. In this post we suggest a low-cost maritime company that’s perfect for your trip: Aquabus Ferry Boats.

Aquabus is a firm dedicated to the maritime transport since 1985, organising tourist cruises around the whole of the island of Ibiza. It’s the perfect option if you’re traveling with friends, are looking for a cheap rate and can’t afford the luxury of renting a private boat.

What makes Aquabus more special than other maritime transport businesses? Currently, it’s one of the most renowned companies of maritime transport given its quality-price ratio, flexible schedule, its close service and, of course, its spectacular cruises. Moreover, you can take your bicycle, luggage, and even your pet onboard… Totally for free! And if you’re traveling as a couple with a baby, the little one won’t have to pay a penny either.

For what concerns their prices, you can find 3 different rates: the standard tourist rate, the reduced rate for residents of the Balearic islands, and the reduced tariff for residents of Formentera. These rates are valid all year round, and even during high season you can enjoy the best prices. But… That’s not all! Visit Aquabus’ web page and find special offers for certain times of the year. Currently, if you buy your way there and back on the same day, your return ticket is basically half the price.
Aquabus’ most popular service is the legendary ferry to Formentera, but if this has left you wanting more, don’t worry! There’s many other options. Amongst the many itineraries that Aquabus has to offer, the following stand out:
