    • In the middle of La Concha Bay stands Santa Clara Island, one of the symbols of San Sebastian. Get closer to it with the Aitona Julián!

      The island's motorboats have been connecting the island to the mainland since 1942. A fast and comfortable service, which departs from the city's port.

      We have two options:

      • Direct route to the island. Available from June to September, it takes less than 10 minutes to get to the island. Departures from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. every half hour.

      €4 return

      Buy your ticket on the day of your visit to the island. Click here to find our ticket office location.

      • Route with a walk through the bay of La Concha upon arriving at the island. For half an hour we will sail through the waters of the bay of La Concha and we will have beautiful views of the town hall, the famous La Perla spa, Mount Urgull, the Miramar Palace or the wind comb. You will love it!


      The route includes a view of Santa Clara Island, a space of singular beauty, located at the point where land and sea converge, and in which great natural wealth is concentrated in a small area.

      Walk its paths to the Casa del Faro, where the sculpture of Cristina Iglesias Hondalea is located, relax with the flight of the seagulls and enjoy spectacular views of the bay.

      In the summer season, the island has a bar, showers, lifeguards... Did you know that the island's beach, which appears and disappears with the tides, is the only south-facing beach in the Basque Country?

      For 7€ return and with departures almost every hour, you choose how to do the tour, if you don't have much time, just enjoy the ride on the Aitona Julián, in about 40 minutes you will be back at the port. And if you have a little more time, don't hesitate! Santa Clara never disappoints...

    Very pleasant ride and well priced! The time on the island is enough to take a walk and swim, I think it's a must-see in San Sebastian!

    It is a boat company with very pleasant and picturesque tours around La Concha. We went with an organized visit, where many people went, and the truth is that we enjoyed it very much. The staff is also extremely pleasant and makes the trip even more interesting… if you go to Donostia, this company is a must

    4 / 5 Reviews posted by DP49 (Edmonds, WA) on 08/09/2017

    Not wanting to swim, kayak or paddleboard over to the island, we opted to take the ferry. The company offers a direct shuttle over to the island or for a few euros more, a 30-minute tour of the bay...

    Dimos un paseo por la bahía. Es agradable aunque no se esfuerzan mucho y no dan información. Se acercan bastante al peine de los vientos y a una zona con los estratos inclinados muy interesante. Dura...
