Discover Costa Brava’s Hidden Coves and Illes Medes Snorkeling Adventure | Guided Tour | Boat Tour

The Costa Brava coastline in Catalunya, Spain, offers one of the Mediterranean’s most vibrant and varied seascapes, and "Navega por Begur- Speedboat" presents an extraordinary chance to experience its secrets from the water. Operating out of L'Estartit, this six-hour speedboat adventure takes travelers along crystalline coves like Aiguablava and Aiguafreda, unspoiled pockets of wild beauty where ancient cliffs drop sharply to turquoise waters. The outing combines exhilarating boat rides, spectacular snorkeling in the protected Illes Medes Natural Park, and an unforgettable seaside meal — a perfect blend of active exploration and gourmet relaxation.

Illes Medes, a marine reserve famed for its rich biodiversity and clear waters, invites snorkelers to glide over rocky reefs, swaying posidonia sea grass, and spot vibrant marine life beneath the surface. The provided snorkeling gear—masks, snorkels, fins—makes it easy for all levels to dive in and explore. Once the ocean’s wonders have been savored, the trip docks at the renowned "Toc al Mar," a favorite eatery celebrated by the legendary Roca brothers. Here, guests enjoy a relaxed meal in a setting where the Mediterranean’s fresh flavors mirror the surrounding seascape.

Beginning with embarkation at the Club Nàutic Estartit marina, the trip departs mid-morning cruising toward the Illes Medes, with stops at several iconic coves that enchanted the earliest tourists to the area. Guests enjoy complimentary refreshments—water, soft drinks, beer, and wine—from the onboard cooler, adding to the day’s pleasure. The itinerary balances time for active adventure, scenic sightseeing, and savoring local cuisine in one seamless experience.

L'Estartit is the closest city and ideal base for visitors looking to immerse themselves in Costa Brava’s blend of rugged coast and vibrant marine life. This charter’s emphasis on the region’s natural coastal gems, coupled with quality amenities and expert guidance, makes it standout. It’s a rare chance to see this stretch of Catalunya’s coast from an up-close, dynamic perspective—far beyond what a typical land visit offers.
