Sunset Boat Tours in Girona with Medaqua

Girona, located in northeastern Spain’s Catalonia region, offers a gateway to some of the Mediterranean’s most captivating coastal landscapes. Just offshore lie the Medes Islands (Illes Medes), a protected marine reserve famous for their crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life, and rugged, rocky formations. Medaqua sets itself apart by inviting adventurers to witness the beauty of these islands during a singular moment of the day—the golden hour.

Medaqua’s Sunset / Golden Hour boat trip is a graceful blend of tranquility and natural spectacle. Guests board a comfortable vessel for a serene ride around the Medes Islands, where the calm water acts like a mirror for the vivid transformation of the sky. As the sun dips toward the horizon, the sky ignites with hues of orange, pink, and purple, framed by jagged cliffs and rare coastal flora.

This experience goes beyond a simple boat ride. An accredited guide shares insights on the islands’ ecology and the efforts to preserve this Mediterranean jewel. A glass of chilled cava accompanies the voyage, adding a touch of Catalonian celebration to the moment. From beneath the surface, you might glimpse schools of colorful fish or even shy octopuses, indicative of the islands’ protected status.

Medaqua’s tours are uniquely timed, capturing a transitional hour when daylight softens and the day’s heat eases, making it ideal for those who appreciate calm and reflection paired with natural spectacle. Its location—close to Girona, a city bursting with medieval architecture and local culture—makes it accessible but still feels worlds away from urban hustle.

For anyone keen on maritime adventure tied to natural rhythms and local heritage, Medaqua offers a distinct and gentle way to connect with the Mediterranean’s wild side in a way few other tours do.
