Introduction: A Unique Way to Discover Ibiza’s Hidden Corners
This Santa Eulalia Electric Motorbike Tour offers a fresh way to see Ibiza beyond the busy beaches and tourist hotspots. Instead of traditional sightseeing, you’ll hop on a powerful yet user-friendly electric motorbike (Surron Light Bee X) and follow unbeaten trails through the island’s lesser-known areas. The tour is guided, eco-friendly, and tailored to small groups, making it an intimate adventure that balances adrenaline with landscape appreciation.
Two things I particularly like about this experience: First, the focus on exploring Ibiza’s secret spots—the stops are not just for photos but for seeing parts of the island most visitors miss, including those stunning coastal views and quiet trails. Second, the guides’ expertise, especially Magnus, who keeps things safe and fun, even offering options like jumping from rocks into the sea for the more daring—an experience I’ve heard is a highlight for many.
One thing to consider is the requirement for prior scooter or motorcycle experience. Since the bikes are powerful, and a valid driver’s license is necessary, this tour might not be suitable for absolute beginners or travelers without a license. Also, during peak season, longer stops for swimming are added, which means you’ll want to bring swimwear and towels if you plan to take advantage.
This tour balances the thrill of riding with the pleasure of discovering Ibiza’s quieter, more scenic areas—all while keeping things eco-friendly and manageable in a small group. It’s a superb choice for those who want a bit of adventure mixed with authentic island charm.

The Experience at a Glance
What makes this tour stand out is its focus on authentic exploration and eco-consciousness. Ibiza is known for its lively nightlife and iconic beaches, but this ride takes you through less-traveled trails in the southwest of the island, where the landscape is wild, peaceful, and full of surprises. The electric bikes are surprisingly powerful, giving you a sense of control and thrill without the noise and fumes of traditional bikes.
The tour lasts about 2.5 hours, a perfect window for a quick but memorable adventure. You’ll cover a route that includes stunning scenery, photo stops, and opportunities to enjoy local drinks—though drinks are not included, so bring some water and some cash for a cold one if you like. During busy seasons, guides often extend stops to allow for swimming or just relaxing by the water, which many find a real bonus.
Safety and Skill Requirements
Since the electric bikes are powerful and the terrain can be uneven, experience riding scooters or motorcycles is essential. You’ll need a valid driver’s license, and for visitors outside the EU, an international license is recommended. The guides are attentive, and safety gear like helmets is provided, but you should arrive with closed-toe shoes, sunglasses, and your driver’s license ready.
From reviews, it’s clear that safety is a priority. Jacky mentions how the tour is “very beautiful and safe” with a knowledgeable guide, Magnums, who also offers routes with fun options like jumping into the sea from rocks—something that adds a dash of excitement for those inclined.
What You’ll See and Do
The route takes you to the southwest coast, an area known for its rugged beauty and quiet beaches. The trails are mostly unbeaten, winding through natural scenery that offers a peaceful contrast to Ibiza’s busier spots. Stops are made for photos, sightseeing, and hydration, with guides often sharing insights about the local landscape or history.
In high season, the guides extend stops to allow for swimming and relaxing, which is a real advantage if you’re traveling during the warmer months. Imagine taking a break from riding to dip into clear waters, then hop back on your bike for more scenic exploration.
Magnus, the guide praised in reviews, goes beyond just leading; he’s attentive to safety and personal experience. Theo’s review highlights how a crash—though a rare mishap—was handled professionally, with the guide ensuring everyone was okay and back on track, making the experience both adventurous and safe.
The Bikes and Route
The Surron Light Bee X electric bikes are a highlight. They are described as easy to operate and powerful enough for both fun and challenging trails. The bikes’ quiet operation enhances the experience, allowing you to connect with nature without noise pollution.
The route isn’t just about riding; it’s about discovering hidden bays, rocky coves, and scenic viewpoints. The guides often tailor routes based on the group’s confidence levels, which makes the experience accessible for those with some riding experience but still adventurous enough for thrill-seekers.
Cost and Value
At $147 per person, this tour is a solid value considering the guided nature, quality equipment, and small group setting. The inclusion of helmets, water, and the guide adds to the convenience, and the refundable deposit of $100 ensures commitment without risk.
Compared to other Ibiza activities like boat trips or parasailing, this experience offers a more personalized and eco-friendly adventure. Plus, it’s a good way to see parts of Ibiza that are difficult to reach by car or on foot.

It’s less suitable for pregnant women, people with back problems or mobility issues, or anyone unable to ride a bike safely. Also, consider that luggage and large bags are not allowed, so pack light.
