Overview
Check out the cliffs and coves of the Spanish Costa Brava on a full-day kayak experience from Barcelona. The coastal adventure includes round-trip transport from the city, as well as a 4-hour sea kayak session with a picnic lunch. Admire the rocky landscape as you paddle, and make the most of a break at a remote cove to snorkel, swim or simply sit on the sand. All skill levels, from beginners or seasoned pros, are welcome, and a professional guide provides helpful tips through the day.

What To Expect
Hop aboard your air-conditioned van from Barcelona 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.
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.
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.
