Spend a full day leaving Barcelona to paddle the Costa Brava: kayak hidden coves, snorkel clear Mediterranean water, and try supervised cliff jumps below coastal trails. This guided, swimmer-only tour includes transport, equipment, and a packed lunch.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Salt spray and limestone cliffs frame the morning as a coach peels away from Barcelona and the coast tightens into coves and pale beaches. By midmorning you’ll be on the water—double kayaks humming across clear Mediterranean blue, paddles punctuating the hush between gull calls and the occasional slap of a cliff jump.

Swimming ability is required
This is a swimmers-only tour; guides will not allow non-swimmers on kayaks — be honest about your ability before booking.
Watch the weight limit
Kayaks have a safety rating and a 115 kg per-person guideline; check with the operator if you’re near that limit.
Protect against sun and glare
Bring high‑SPF sunscreen, a wide-brim hat for the coach ride, and polarized sunglasses to reduce glare on the water.
Hydrate and eat beforehand
Have a substantial breakfast and carry water—the activity uses energy for paddling and snorkeling and lunch comes after the water time.
Swimwear and quick-dry layers
Wear swimwear under clothes for quick launching and a light layer for the coach ride.
