“I enjoyed the trip to Formentera. I took the 11:25 ferry and the 20:20 last boat back to Ibiza. I would recommend going earlier on the 9:25am boat to have more time in Formentera, depending on what you would like to do there of course. I paid €29 return and then extra €10 to upgrade to the top of the boat so I could look out at Ibiza town. You can only sit outside if you purchase the upgrade onboard. Overall great experience, fast 30 minute journey and friendly crew. Boat was spotless and on time.”
