Fabulous boat trip and island to explore. The only thing that would be perfect if the boat had a speaker for the commentary, even if it was repeated in four languages.

Santa Clara Island Boat Cruise

At the time of your choice, meet at Paseo del Muelle, specifically next to the Chapel of San Pedro. where the boat will be waiting for you ready to take you towards Santa Clara Island. Are you ready?

For half an hour we'll sail around the waters of La Concha bay with incredible coastal views and views of the city, including the City Hall, the La Perla spa, Mount Urgull, the Miramar Palace, and the Comb of the Wind statue. If you weren't already in love with the city, you will be after seeing it from this perspective!

As we approach Santa Clara Island, you'll see its emblematic lighthouse and then you'll be able to spend as long as you wish on the island before catching a return boat back to the city. Did you know that in the 16th century, this island was used as a refuge for people with the plague?

Return to San Sebastian

Return boats to San Sebastian from Santa Clara depart every 30 minutes or every hour depending on the weather. The last departure is at 8 pm.

Fabulosa excursión en barco e isla para explorar. Únicamente si llevará altavoz el barco para las explicaciones sería perfecto, aunque se repitiera en 4 idiomas. Translate this opinion into English.

El paseo hasta la isla fue muy bonito , la isla y las vistas a la Bahía de la Concha merecen muchísimo la pena . Por poner un pero, si se explicase un poquito lo que se ve, durante el trayecto . Súper recomendable la actividad !! Translate this opinion into English.

The walk to the island was very beautiful; the island and the views of La Concha Bay are well worth it. One drawback would be that they would explain a little more about what you see during the trip. Highly recommend this activity! Opinion translated. Show original.
