Take a 3-hour classic boat trip from L'Estartit to the pristine waters of Montgrí Natural Park and the Medes Islands. Discover hidden coves and enjoy a refreshing swim in this unforgettable Mediterranean sea journey.
L'Estartit, a vibrant fishing town on the Costa Brava coast in Catalunya, Spain, offers a rare blend of Mediterranean charm and striking natural beauty. At the heart of its outdoor allure is BRAVOLA BOATS SL's "Pepita - 3h en barco clásico"—a 3-hour voyage aboard a classic boat that invites adventurers to navigate the crystalline waters bordering Montgrí Natural Park and the Medes Islands. This route is far from a standard boat tour; the experience lets you set your own pace through some of the region’s most scenic marine spots.
Departing from L'Estartit's harbor, the journey unfolds past rugged coves and steep limestone cliffs that define Cala Calella and Cala Pedrosa. These enamel-blue waters reveal vivid marine life below, especially within the protected Medes Islands, a renowned marine reserve with underwater landscapes sculpted by volcanic activity and home to diverse species of fish and corals. The trip culminates in a secluded cove—ideal for a refreshing swim or snorkeling break—where the heat of the Mediterranean sun meets a cool dive.
BRAVOLA BOATS SL stands out in this region by combining tradition with comfort, offering onboard dining options for those who want to savor local flavors while floating through the park’s pristine seascapes. It's a perfect way to disconnect from busy beach days and immerse yourself in the raw, salt-tinged essence of Catalunya's coastline.
L'Estartit's location also serves as a gateway to additional hiking trails within Montgrí Natural Park and diving opportunities around the Medes Islands. This classic boat trip is an emblematic addition to any outdoor enthusiast’s itinerary, balancing serene relaxation with a touch of nautical adventure. For travelers seeking a meaningful connection with the Mediterranean’s coastal heritage and natural splendor, Pepita sets the standard in accessible sea-based excursions.
