Beautiful place, great bus, good lunch, not very sensitive instructor. Comments were a bit inappropriate and not very patient.
A great day! Very well organised. Meeting point check in efficient, coach quality good with excellent a/c, guide on bus and guides during kayaking were great. Bus is 1hr 20 each way from Barcelona. Kayak experience is about 2 hrs with great stops for swimming and snorkelling. Lunch provided is good (baguette, apple, water). Overall a really great experience and good value for money. Top tip - Make sure you take flip flops / sea shoes. Beach is very small shale - it’s super hot and very sharp on your feet!
Such great value for money. The guides were so lovely, helpful and friendly - it was a great way to spend the day. The water and views are beautiful. You do have to do quite a lot of kayaking but they can also tow you on the motorboat if you get tired.
This whole experience exceeded my expectations!! It was so well organized and executed. The bus to Costa Brave was fantastic, air conditioned, and comfortable. When we got there we are properly briefed on kayaking instructions. We had Rodrigo as our guide, and he was phenomenal! So kind, funny, and experienced. We had a great time snorkeling, seeing the coastline, and even got to cliff jump! The water was absolutely beautiful. The sandwiches afterwards were fantastic as well. ONLY thing I will warn is they recommend water shoes and a phone water protection case (if you want to take your phone for photos). They are available to purchase right there, but will charge you for them so if you have some of those already, I suggest that you bring them with you! Overall 10/10 highly recommend this experience!
An amazing experience that did not disappoint! The trip allowed us to see the country and Costa Brava is stunning. The water is beautiful and the coastline a must see. The guides were great and the kayaking was so much fun. The snorkeling was closer to shore so the fish were sparse but being on the water was worth it. We stopped two times to snorkel or enjoy the water. I would highly recommend if you’re looking to explore a beautiful area and experience kayaking in the Mediterranean.
Please note that once you get to the meeting spot, you have a one hour and twenty minute ride on a bus to the beach. Do not expect “lunch” until the very end. Ours started at 10:30 and they served us bottled water that had been sitting in the sun and a sandwich with mostly lettuce at almost 3pm. We squeezed under one umbrella for shade and no place to sit.
It was a fun day, though if you aren’t use to kayaking you will feel it. Getting on and off the kayak is a funny sight to behold. The water is magic when we stopped to swim. Rod was patient when waiting for catch up kayaks. and assisting where needed. Andy met us and dripped us back in Barcelona. Thank you for your kind hospitality! The lunch provided was great - earned it. . Wished the bottled water was colder. Tip apply sunscreen and Take water on the kayak .though make sure you have it tied on or you’ll lose it thanks again
Was so much fun water was nice. Shame there was a fire nearby and it made it very cloudy. Otherwise a really cool day
Great experience and wonderful guide Marc. Our kayak guide Jorge was great as well. Recommend this tour
Andy was a great guide and my family and I had a great time! The guide helped us when we struggled the currents and winds. The picnic lunch was great as well!
