Frequently asked questions about activities and bookings in Formentera

We answer your questions about how to book, cancellation policies, sports safety, and direct booking without commissions.

How are activity bookings managed?
All bookings are made online and directly with official local companies, with no commissions or intermediaries. Upon completing the process, you will receive a voucher confirming the details of your activity, schedules, and meeting points.
Is it necessary to book excursions and sports in advance?
Yes, it is highly recommended to book well in advance, especially during the high season months (July, August, and September). Spaces on boat excursions, diving courses, or water sports equipment rentals are limited to ensure a quality experience.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day of our activity?
Safety is the priority. If weather conditions (strong wind, waves, or maritime alerts) prevent the excursion or sport from being carried out with complete safety, the organizing company will suspend the activity, offering a date change or a full refund of the amount paid.
Is prior experience needed for water sports or excursions?
It depends on the activity. Many options (such as kayak rentals, paddle surfing, or organized boat excursions) are designed for all audiences and levels, including initial instructions. For specific diving, windsurfing, or wing foil courses, you have certified instructors catering from absolute beginners to advanced levels.
Where are the departure points for water sports and activities?
The vast majority of boat excursions, diving trips, and water sports equipment rentals have their main departure point at the port of La Savina or at authorized iconic beaches such as Ses Illetas. The exact location is always detailed in your booking voucher.
What cancellation and change policy applies?
Each local partner company establishes its specific cancellation conditions (which you can review before completing payment), guaranteeing flexibility in the event of justified unforeseen circumstances or weather changes.
