A pool party tour with superclub entry starts from €49 per person and a quad trip from €90 per person. Here are the best-rated activities and the tips that stop the group wasting time.

The three-day plan that never fails
The trick is to spread things out: one day of engines, one day at sea and one big club night, rather than cramming everything into the same 24 hours. That way nobody falls asleep on the boat or turns up wrecked at the club door, which is exactly when it shows.
Day 1: adrenaline on land and sea
Start with something that wakes everyone up. The quad adventure follows dirt tracks through the countryside to viewpoints above the coast and is one of the best-rated group activities on the island. For something more comfortable that you can share, the guided buggy tour stops at beaches along the way, and the buggy excursion to viewpoints is a slightly cheaper alternative.
On the water, the jet ski ride from Santa Eulalia is an intense half hour along the east coast, with the option of looking for dolphins. It is a guided ride, so no previous experience is needed. Our Ibiza nightlife guide has more ideas on how to roll these plans into the evening.
Day 2: open-bar boat
The boat is the heart of any Ibiza stag do. The open-bar boat trip runs at midday or at sunset and lasts around four hours, ideal if you do not want to give up the whole day. For groups who want the full package, the Formentera cruise with open bar and three meals is the most reviewed trip on the island and sails home with a party as the sun sets.
If the group fancies something calmer, the sunset boat trip with drinks and a swim stop or the catamaran to Formentera with a BBQ are more laid-back options that are still plenty of fun.
Day 3: pool party and club
The pool party tour with O Beach and a superclub covers afternoon and night in a single booking. If you are going out several nights, the three-day pool party and club pass works out better value than buying tickets one by one.
When to go
Ibiza’s club season runs roughly from May to early October. June and September combine good weather, every club open and prices a bit lower than in August. Out of season many party activities stop, though quads, buggies and some boat trips keep running, weather permitting.
Practical tips for an Ibiza stag do
- Driving licence for quads and buggies: the driver normally needs a valid driving licence. Check each activity’s listing and bring the physical card.
- Never mix drink and engines: keep quads, buggies and jet skis for the morning. Guides can refuse anyone who turns up drunk, with no refund.
- Rules in San Antonio: in some areas, such as the West End, Balearic rules limit late-night alcohol sales and open-bar deals. Several towns fine people for drinking in the street or wandering about in swimwear away from the beach.
- Fancy dress, within limits: fine on boats and at pool parties, but many clubs enforce dress codes and may turn away groups in costume.
- Getting home: taxi queues outside the clubs between 5am and 7am can be endless. The Discobus is usually the quickest way back.
- What to pack: suncream, sunglasses on a strap, swimwear on underneath, closed shoes for the quad and a hoodie for the boat ride home.
- Common mistake: trying to book activities for 12 people at the last minute in July. Fix dates early and have one person handle all the payments.
