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.

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.

We had a great full-day trip from Barcelona with Spanish Trails. Easy pick-up and drop-off. Plenty of time in the kayaks, and also some time to cool off in the water while taking a break from the paddling. Our guide Martin did a great job finding a shaded spot for lunch and with providing a great variety of local foods for our group of four. This was one of the best days of our three-week trip in the western Mediterranean. Highly recommend!

Ines was an absolute fantastic tour guide. She gave us so much history about Barcelona, Costa Brava and Spain in general! Costa Brava is spectacular, the wild coast should not be missed on your trip. It wast 12 and 14 year old girls favorite day in our 2 week trip. Kayaking, cliff jumping and swimming/snorkeling. The water is much warmer here than down in Costa Del Sol and clear blue/turquoise. It can get pretty windy in the summer but Ines was great and just made sure we were back a bit earlier before the wind really kicked up. Definitely give this trip a go!

Our family recently went on a kayaking excursion with Martin as our guide, and it was an incredible experience. Martin was friendly, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun to be around. He wisely guided us through beautiful spots, such as natural arches, cliff jumping, snorkleing spots, and sharing interesting facts along the way. His infectious sense of fun made the whole experience enjoyable. We highly recommend Martin as a kayak guide.

I discovered this experience while searching for things to do around Barcelona, and I am so glad I did ! We were a total of 4 couples, coming from different areas of the world, which made the experience quite fun. Matteo met us right on time, and drove us from Barcelona to Costs Brava. After a few VERY important safety tips, we were off to paddling our kayaks. Some people had no experience at all, but this didn’t cause any problems or hassle. We stopped at a cove, where we were able to experience the beautiful waters. We then had the fun experience of squeezing into a cave with our canoes! Our last stope was in calm waters, between rocks, where we disembarked our kayaks and had the leisure to snorkel at our own pace, watching the schools of beautiful different fish, for around an hour. We then headed back to the shore, and enjoyed sandwiches made freshly in the trainers’ cabin. After a cocktail enjoyed at the beach bar, Matteo drove us back to Barcelona. After such an eventful day, we were definitely quieter on the way back: we were asleep! Thanks Matteo for an AWESOME experience. I highly recommend this experience and his services, as we were well taken care of, safe and very happy! Would SURELY do it again!
