Need to know before you go
The minimum age is 7 (25 kg) and the maximum weight limit is 120 kg. Ability to swim is essential.
A vegetarian meal is always available.
This tour runs in a smaller group than our usual tour, taking maximum 8 people.
We run the tour from 23rd of April till the 14th of October. Starting times vary from 9:30 am to 10 am and you will see your time during your booking.
Private tours are welcome, please contact us for further information.
The meeting point is at the benches just outside the casino of Barcelona. It's opposite the city centre harbor of Port Olympic. If you are early, feel free to grab a coffee or breakfast in one of the café's close by. Once everyone is together your guide will get van which is just in the marina. If you are running late, please contact the guides on the following number: +34 637149032.
Getting there: The closest metro station is Ciutadella, Vila Olimpica, which is on the yellow line (L4). From there, it's less than 10 mins walk. If going by taxi, ask for the Casino de Barcelona en Port Olympic.
Please arrive 10 minutes before your tour is scheduled to begin. The tour will be divided into groups of maximum 12 people. We allow more people in private groups.
What should you bring? We suggest water and some snacks (lunch is after the activity), sunscreen lotion, swimwear, and a towel. Water shoes are optional, but not necessary. At the beginning and end of the season, we also suggest an extra layer or blanket. We have a storeroom on the beach where you can keep all your belongings while kayaking.
The sea can be quite fresh at the beginning and end of summer (May and September). We will provide you with neoprene wetsuits, but they don’t cover the lower leg and arms. If you feel too cold in the sea, we will concentrate more on kayaking than snorkeling.
As the tour will take a full day, we will have a late lunch after the activity (around 2:30 p.m.), so we suggest you have a nice breakfast and bring some snacks. You can also buy food and drinks in the restaurant on the spot. They sell bottles of water, although it’s cheaper to buy water before joining us on the tour in Barcelona.
We don’t provide fins for snorkeling. Fins can cause (and have caused) damage to the environment if you are not an experienced snorkeler. However, feel free to bring your own fins along if you have them.
We may need to cancel the tour due to bad weather and unsafe sea conditions. All our guides are qualified professionals who put your health and safety first, so please understand that when a tour is canceled, it is for your safety. Our guides always decide which is the best and safest route to take, where it is possible to snorkel, or if you can visit the caves. Please respect their decisions as they are extremely knowledgeable of the area.

Your booking will become valid after we receive your payment and send you a confirmation email.
You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance with 100% money reimbursement. There is no reimbursement for later cancellations.

Discover the wild terrain of Costa Brava in this one-day tour of exploration perfect for friends and families. Swim in crystalline waters, paddle past rugged cliffs, snorkel with sea life, and much more.
Our tour begins in the morning in the center of Barcelona. By private coach, we travel in a small group, driving a little over an hour to a scenic beach as pretty as a postcard. From here, our professional guide navigates you through some of the Mediterranean’s most crystal clear waters to remote places only accessible by kayak.
As this part of Costa Brava is a marine reserve, the guide has much to tell you about the exotic landscape’s flora, fauna, and history. Surrounded by high sea cliffs and pine forests, you instantly feel the charm of Spain’s natural beauty.
During the day, the super transparent seas are waiting for you to jump in to explore their coves and reefs. Snorkel with the bustling underwater wildlife, such as octopus, moray eels, and fish of all colors.
After the day of paddling, both kayakers and walkers enjoy a tasty lunch and some relaxing on a sandy beach. You can float in the waves or jump from the scenic rocks about 2 m high. We head back in the late afternoon, arriving in Barcelona around 7:00 p.m.
With equal amounts adventure and relaxation, this family-friendly trip strikes the perfect balance to add to your holiday. The exotic marine reserve, the fun of kayaking, and the time-out on the water make this trip through Costa Brava an experience to remember.

It was the best experience! Our guide Borja, he was very friendly and helpful. The meeting point here (Plaza Antonio Lopez) is not where the meeting point is anymore, currently it’s in front of the casino (apparently outdoor hasn’t updated that). But after some messages we were in the van and heading to the beach. It was a very nice trip, Borja was very knowledgeable and patient when we struggled to keep our kayak going straight. He took us to the caves, we had a chance to jump from the rocks in the sea, then snorkeling. We saw different fish, egg fried jellyfish, an octopus and beautiful scenery. I am on the limit of the kayak weight and it was fine, also the vest fit really well. I would definitely do it again from this company - (escola de vela i kayak sant pol - costa brava) with their sturdy kayaks and helpful guides.
