About
Northeast of Barcelona, you will find one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in Europe: the Costa Brava, “rugged” or “wild” coast.
With a maritime tradition dating from before the Greeks and Romans, the Costa Brava is a perfect day trip destination from Barcelona – a natural paradise with crystal waters, dramatic cliffs, stunning views, deep caves and fantastic inlets. What an ideal spot for sea kayaking and snorkeling!
Once we arrive at one of our favorite and most gorgeous beaches in the area, your private guide will give you all the necessary instructions and tips and get you ready for the adventure.
Embrace this active yet relaxing experience, kayaking away, swimming, snorkeling, exploring caves, enjoying the sun and the views. We will stop at a secluded beach for a delicious picnic lunch that will be brought along by your guide. Here you will have time to relax and to keep learning about Barcelona, Catalonia and Spain, or to discuss any topics that interest you.
Of course, both the lunch and difficulty of the kayaking experience will be adjusted to your preferences – just let us know in advance. Before driving back to Barcelona and dropping you off at your accommodation, we will have time to enjoy a drink at a beachfront café, or enjoy some more beach time, as we take in the picturesque surroundings.
