Overview

Escape the heat of the city and the busy Barcelona beaches to join a refreshing fun-filled marine biology excursion. Travel along the Costa Brava in the beautiful northern region of Catalonia for an exciting day of Kayaking and Snorkeling in the crystal clear Mediterranean Sea.

Our Kayaking and Cave snorkeling tour is a 6 hour return day trip (approx 1 hour's drive per direction to/ from kayaking site). The trip includes transport to and from the Costa Brava where you will be fitted out with the kayak and snorkeling equipment, a picnic lunch and water on return to shore, allowing you some free time to chill out on the beautiful white sandy beach before heading back into the heart of Barcelona where you can enjoy a round of beers on us!

It was great being on the water. Our guide, Martin, took very good care of everyone! He adjusted the level of difficulty for those of us who needed help.

Beautiful azure blue Mediterranean waters highlight this trip. However, this is NOT a “day at the beach”—it is a 2 1/2 to 3 sea kayaking trip. We are a bit older and did not anticipate the intensity of the kayaking and the athletic ability needed for this excursion. The guides Jose, Gabriel and Martin were outstanding with superior kayaking skills and lots of humor. Martin said to the group: We want you to all have fun today, let us (the 3 guides) take care of everything else. They were also personally helpful to my wife and I with the kayaking, “towing” us at one point!

Our group of 18 people was split into two groups. Our gide was great and funny, but the gide from the other group looked like a grumpy 20y/o. At our second stop we got an apple from our gides. The gide from the other group handed out the apples while staying in the kayaks. When he playfully threw an apple to a guy it fell into the water and when the guy tried to grab for it the kayak flipped. The woman that was also in the kayak began to panic because she couldn't get back in the kayak and probably also due to the shock. The whole time she tried to get back into the kayak the gide didn't help or even asked how she was doing or if she hurt herself (because she fell close to his kayak). Instead he just looked away with a smirk on his face. Later he and his group, except for the couple that fell into the water, also came to the beach. After 20 minutes or so he decided to go back to the couple and disconnect their kayak from the rest so they could go back already, alone and unsupervised... To me and my partner this just seemed very irresponsible. Ofcourse this is the action of just one person and not the organisation as a whole.

This trip is very overpriced for the offering. First of all, of the “6 hour” day trip as noted in the description is in fact 3 hours of travelling (there and back) and 3 hours of the actual experience. The entire experience itself was very rushed, you could not take an easy kayak, take any pictures or even take in the surroundings while you were kayaking, you had to power through down a strip. If you fell behind, the guide would “taxi” you (tying your kayak to theirs). The snorkelling was probably about 30 minutes of the full time (which was also a rushed experience) and the snorkelling gear was of a low quality - you couldn’t see clearly under the water. The lunch provided was also poor and not what you would expect given the price of the trip. And again, the time given for the lunch was very short, you had to wolf down the sandwich just to get ready for the bus. Please also note, no bottled water was provided. The trip consisted of bus ride, 5 minutes to change, kayak up, snorkel, kayak down, snorkel (could cliff dive as well but you could either cliff dive or snorkel as there “wasn’t time” for both) and then a kayak back to the beach whereby a sandwich was provided. You got another 5 minutes to get dressed and then head to the bus. Very disappointing. Would not recommend.

This was such a fun activity, I’ve never been kayaking before but their instructions made it clear what to do. Jose was a great instructor and it was a lot of fun, we had plenty of time to swim and snorkel too which was great.
