Ibiza Backroads Tour with Santa Gertrudis and Aloe Farm Visit

Locals know this island as Eivissa. And there's a few more secrets they want to keep, too. Uncover real, rural and authentic Ibiza on this half-day tour. Rosa, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘There's a hidden side to Ibiza that you can still find in villages like Santa Gertrudis. It's a bit of gastronomic hotspot of the island, largely due to the surrounding farms, which produce some of Ibiza's best fruit and vegetables. It's also home to the island's only herd of cows.'

Kick off with a drive through the village of Es Cubells. Away from the party beaches and super-clubs, it's one of the few spots where the beauty and peace of old remain. It's not much more than a cute cluster of farms and a church with views over the sea. Look out for the famous white church of St Augustine and In Cala d'Hort, you'll enjoy vistas of an iconic Ibizan Iandmark – Es Vedra. Mysterious and mystical, the towering rock formation is said to be one of the most magnetic places on earth.

Rosa adds, ‘In our local folklore, the island is home to sirens, sea nymphs and other mythical creatures. It's also said to have a powerful energy, and many people believe it to be a healing place.' Next up, after stopping off at an aloe vera farm for a tour, you'll round off with free time to explore charming Santa Gertrudis. Here you can explore, pick up some goodies from one of the arty boutiques and galleries, or just sit back with a coffee. Enjoy laidback vibes whilst discovering the white isle.
