About this activity

Make your own way to Barcelona’s gothic quarter, Barri Gòtic, and meet your guide for your full-day sea kayak experience. Then, hop aboard your air-conditioned minibus and relax on the journey north to the Costa Brava region — your destination of the day. Put on your provided life jacket, listen to a safety briefing and then paddle away from the cove in your sturdy sea kayak.

Meaning ‘rugged coast,’ Costa Brava is just that. Your route takes in a quiet and scenic stretch of the coastline, and you’ll have ample opportunity to ogle the landscape as you paddle.

Your guide stays close-by through your 4-hour stint on the water, allowing you to hear some light-hearted stories about the coastal area and its history. Besides the commentary, you’ll also receive some tips on how to improve your kayak technique so you can get the most out of your session. Learn how to paddle and maneuver yourself, and in the rare event that you should roll out, your guide is ready to help you back on board.

Around lunchtime, paddle to the shore of a secluded cove, and enjoy some free time to swim, soak up the sun and explore. Snorkel equipment is provided for you to use, as is a picnic lunch — complete with baguette sandwiches, chips, fruit and bottled water — brought along by your guide.

Feeling refreshed, return to your kayak and follow your guide back to the Costa Brava start point. Finally, finish your experience with a drop-off back in Barcelona.

This was one of the highlights of my whole vacation. We had a small group of 8 people. The ride up to the coast was beautiful and an easy 1 hour drive. We each got in our kayaks and off we went. I also was able to use a water tight bag to bring along my camera, sunscreen etc. The water was calm, we went in and out of several coves before finally selecting a spot to eat lunch, swim and snorkel. As a group we kayaked for about 1.5 hours to get to our spot. Lunch was sandwiches, choice of tuna or ham and you were free to bring along snacks if you wanted. Lots of little fish to look at and a rocky hill to climb to take pictures. Some members also took the kayaks back out to keep exploring while others enjoyed the beach. Slightly more wavy ride back about 1 hour. The beach where we returned the kayaks also has a small bar so we all had a well earned cold beer before the ride back into town. What added to making this excursion enjoyable is that we were able to set our own pace for the day.

great weather allowed for fun day.. was disappointed with the amount of padding since expected to go to the end of the coastline.. lots of time was spent waiting for the slow paddlers to catchup.. program did not match what was advertised.. there was no picnic lunch at the beach.. there was no snorkeling equipment provided.. lots of time waiting at the beach only to return to the startpoint ..could have spent the time paddling more down the coast instead of just sitting on the beach since there was no lunch provided there.. the best part was paddling in and out of the caves..
