Start with the time you actually have

Count from when you can get off the ship, or ashore by tender, to the all-aboard time, using ship time. Times on these plans are our estimates, with time to spare; they cannot promise a plan fits your sailing.

Short plans need up to 4 hours in total, medium up to 6, long more than 6. A plan with a connection still to confirm has no total.

Put your day on the map

Select a terminal or place to see its location and open directions.

Open Dalt Vila streets in Google Maps

Choose a place for its location, then open Google Maps for directions. Confirm the terminal on your cruise documents; a map result does not establish your ship’s berth or an accessible route.

Getting around

Start from the assigned arrival

The port authority’s current Ibiza plan identifies several Botafoc quays and marina facilities. Confirm your actual cruise berth, passenger exit and any port shuttle with the ship. Old-town waterfront points and marina entrances are not interchangeable with your cruise arrival.

Protect the return

Our suggestion: confirm the actual passenger deadline, both connections, waiting and boarding procedures. Complete transfer times, route distances and fares remain unverified.

Card and QR fares differ from cash

Alsa Ibiza publishes separate single-ticket prices for card or QR payment and cash, with special airport, beach and night-service fare sections. Its stored-value and special cards are resident products. QR singles can be bought through the operator website or Mobi4U app. Check your actual route and tariff section; Botafoc port access and any ship shuttle remain separate. Checked Oct 6, 2026.

Check the chosen place

Our suggestion: check the actual café or restaurant’s opening, ingredients, payment and complete bill. Public spaces or exhibition access do not establish meal service; no current menu price or meal duration is researched here.

What costs extra?

Published information checked Oct 6, 2026. Confirm current prices before paying.

Option 2

Take a planned tour

Prefer an organized outing in Ibiza? Browse tours with Viator, then check the exact meeting point, departure, inclusions and cancellation terms before booking.

Tour duration is only part of your time ashore. Allow for getting to the meeting point, early check-in, any transfers outside the tour and your return reserve. Confirm the ship’s clock, all-aboard time and any earlier last tender. These results have not been checked against your sailing.

Find tours for your port visit

Search up to one year ahead. Schedules are indicative; confirm available departure times and your group’s final price on Viator.

Before you go ashore

How long is the ship in port, and when is all-aboard?

Port hours vary by ship and date in Ibiza. Check your sailing itinerary for scheduled arrival and departure, then the onboard app or daily notice for all-aboard, ship time and any last-tender deadline. Subtract clearance, both transfers and a return buffer before choosing an outing. Scheduled arrival is not your guaranteed time ashore.

What should I take ashore?

Take your ship card or wearable, the identification specified in the ship’s port briefing, any tour ticket and a way to pay. Save your terminal name, return deadline and ship’s emergency contact offline. Ask whether your original passport is required for this visit; do not assume a phone photo replaces required identification. Euros (EUR). Euros (EUR) is the local currency. Confirm the currency charged, payment methods and complete bill directly; no exchange rate or whole-day price is established.

How do I get off and back on the ship?

Wait for the ship’s announcement that passengers may go ashore. Follow its gangway, shuttle or tender instructions and any ticketing order. Keep your ship identification ready when leaving and returning. Allow for terminal access checks, queues and security screening before reboarding; tender passengers also need to meet the last return boat.
