We had a wonderful time. The guides were easy to find, upbeat and informative about the area. Our guide, Luis, was attentive and made sure everyone in the group was enjoying themselves. Lunch is included when you return from kayaking and snorkeling and you can purchase additional food, snacks and drinks. The setting is breathtaking and that alone is well worth the trip.

Really fun day off costa brava

kristin_s, May 2024

Incredible day on the water with mateu. Saw an octopus while snorkeling, kayaked into a cave, cliff jumped and then had a great lunch. Long day but it was absolutely worth it.

Would recommend highly, very enjoyable!

Mindi_S, May 2024

Beautiful coastline with alcoves and interesting rock formations for kayaking. Beautiful azur water, interesting sea creatures, and pretty fish to admire and get a close up look at. All the guides were excellent and fun with all the varying personalities! Suited everyone’s needs and we where well taken care of. The transportation was excellent and very comfortable! A lovely day!

Fantastic day trip put of Barcelona for kayaking and snorkelling

Kim_S, May 2024

Excellent day out with JB and his team. Approx 1h20m bus ride (clean and comfortable) to a lovely beach. Small groups (8 in ours) and loads of time spent making sure people were comfortable with holding the paddle, how to kayak etc before hitting the water. Water absolutely crystals clear! We paddled around the coves, spent time snorkeling and then (small and optional) cliff jumping. Sandwiches were delicious and big (though have a big breakfast ake snacks as this was about 5pm, having started at 10.30). All equipment was provided, including wet suits and buoyancy aids. Highly recommend as a cool and (somewhat) relaxing day out from the huddle and bussle of a city holiday! If in doubt, book it!!!

The Best

Rachel_H, Apr 2024

Sergi and Mateo were the best tour guides. Everyone was very friendly and helpful throughout the entire experience. I can honestly say it was the highlight of my Barcelona trip.

Awesome adventure

Jenn_A, Apr 2024

Amazing day on the water. Guide took us to some gorgeous coves, pointed out some history along the way, found spot for some snorkeling, jumping and relaxing. Highlight of our trip!!

10/10 Day-Trip

Rafael_E, Oct 2023

JB and Alex were top-notch guides. They are true professionals that love sharing that passion for the sport. We had people from all different countries, and of all different experience. They were able to great an enjoyable day for everyone involved. By the end of the trip you felt you’d made not just one, but several new friends. Highly recommend a guided day with both of these guys.

Fantastic!

Sylvie_P, Oct 2023

It was a wonderful day and our guide “Blondie” was great. We had a lot of fun, it was very informative and Sergio made us feel comfortable and ensured we were having a great time and had everything we needed. He even shared his hair brush! I would recommend a tour “Blondie” anytime! What a blast he was!

Family-friendly fun!

Jennifer_S, Oct 2023

Mateo (Mateu) was an excellent guide — very safety conscious but also lots of fun. Both the snorkeling & kayaking were beautiful. It’s definitely a worthwhile experience!

Beautiful tour, great guide, lots of fun!

Dru_S, Oct 2023

This tour was wonderful. Our guide, Mateo, was super nice and knowledgeable and did a great job of making sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time. It was a ton of fun to see Costa del Brava via kayak and we saw a lot of fish, including a barracuda while snorkeling. Would absolutely do it again.

Somewhat disappointed

Sheryl_T, Sep 2023

Our host Mario was great. He was very good at instructing us and helping us. As an snorkeler, I was disappointed that there are virtually no fish. One octopus was seen by a few. It was basically a kayak trip. It is a fairly long drive but the van was roomy and comfortable.

Awesome Experience!

clint_a, Sep 2023

It was an awesome day! Our guide was very knowledgeable and really focused on making sure my family was taken care of. Thank you!

Amazing!

AmeliaShoemaker, Sep 2023

Mateo was a great guide! Made sure we had an amazing time and gave good instructions to keep everyone safe and happy. Loved jumping from the rocks!

Fun Sun and Swim!

Beth_T, Sep 2023

Super fun. The area is beautiful and the tour was a great mix of activities. Our guide was fun and very helpful. Great tour.

Enjoyable outdoor adventure

Joseph_B, Aug 2023

This was fantástico! Initially i thought we had a longer ride than the driver said but it was only 1 hour 15 minutes and wasn’t too terrible. Once you arrive to the beach it’s very organized. You store your items and get instructions on kayaking. The part I thought was most important was that the guide takes their time to do warm up exercises with your Orr which is necessary so you don’t hurt yourself (it lasts like 5-10 minutes). Then you kayak and snorkel. That part was fun but I didn’t see much. Just small fish, some starfish and jelly fish. My favorite part was the cliff diving and jumping. That was a lot of fun. Wish we actually spent more time Juliet than snorkeling.

Perfect

Abdullah_H, Aug 2023

The trip was great, everything prepared perfectly. We where with dave he is nice and helpful answering all the questions and offer his help evertime.

Great outing in beautiful Costa Brava

Pam_M, Aug 2023

Fun outing to Costa Brava! We had an unusually windy day so it wasn't as enjoyable as when the water is still but still a great experience and a highlight for our teens. There were times where there were so many kayakers criss-crossing from all the other groups, that it kind of felt like herding cattle, but I still recommend it. There was not much to see in terms of snorkeling, but I knew that from other reviews. The sandwiches were ample and delicious and we were served at an outdoor restaurant where we could purchase drinks and more food if we wanted. We had extra time and the beach is stunning. Marcos was amazing and made the day so fun! He is so knowledgeable and helpful and most of all, calm and kind. Thank you for all the great memories and photos, Marcos!!!

Teri_R, Jul 2023

The whole experience was incredible! We have never snorkled before and the setting for our first experience was amazing. Jumping off of the cliffs was an added bonus. I am 60 years old and am so glad that I chose to do it as the exhilaration I felt was well worth the climb. Our guide was Alex and we couldn't have had a better person leading us. He was so personable, relaxed and upbeat, thorough in his instructions and made us feel very comfortable. We felt that he really set the tone for what was an amazing day and definitely our favorite experience in Barcelona. We will truly never forget what a great time we had!

Just do it!

Shea_R, Jul 2023
