Costa Brava Tour: Easy Hike, Snorkel & Cliff Jump from Barcelona
Description
You will walk along the historic and ancient path, Camino Ronda. This experience is a mixture of exploration, adventure, history and culture. Heading north to Costa Brava by private air-conditioned van, you will arrive in the heart of La Costa Brava, surrounded by protected beautiful pine-forested sea cliffs. Parts of the 'Camí Ronda' go through narrow paths adapted for trekkers and walkers, which ascends & descends several times. On some occasions you also walk through sea promenades and beaches. You will be having stunning views of the Costa Brava Mediterranean sea, with its unique turquoise clear waters. You will go through pine forests and a protected coastal area, perfect for refreshing ourselves with a snorkeling, swimming and a couple of safe, not too high cliff jumps. This is a soft hike which allows for all kinds of footwear, hiking shoes are not needed. Don't worry if you're joining us in the cooler months – we'll swap out water activities for more land-based exploring.

We had a fantastic experience on this tour! Nacho was our guide and he made the day fantastic. He was full of energy and enthusiasm, but also very attentive and easy going. He lead us through the hike and found some out of the way spots to snorkel that were truly fantastic! He even recommended some orange sorbet and it did not disappoint!! We are vegan and he was very knowledgeable and understanding and made sure we were taken care of appropriately. I really loved the beautiful area and great company for the day. Highly recommended!!
Nacho the guide was outstanding! He has a great sense of humor and his expert at bringing groups to quiet places, even when the beaches are completely full up. Was totallyworth the cost of the trip for the value of the experience.
Superb day hosted by Nacho, with listening and attention for everyone Delicious typical meal, magnificent views and snorkeling I recommend this experience to you
The activity was good and Sergi was an excellent guide, very kind and attentive. Mind you, it is VERY oriented toward tourists and for those of us from here it turns out to be quite expensive. Itinerary: first a simple route along the Camí de Ronda (I recommend bringing something to eat while walking), then we visited a couple of coves for snorkeling and cliff jumping (they are optional) and finally we all went together to eat at a restaurant where the food was very good. The only thing we missed was a little free time in the afternoon to be able to enjoy the beach, have a coffee, take a walk, or do some activity on our own. Those couple of extra hours would have been key.
I thought the guide was rude and inappropriate. Not worth the money
Hi Miranda, we think there may be some confusion, as we can’t find a recent booking under your name and neither of our guides recognises this incident. Our experience is a hike, snorkel and cliff-jumping tour on the Costa Brava, departing from Barcelona. Could you please confirm the date you joined us or provide your booking reference? We’ll be happy to investigate, but it’s possible this review was intended for a different tour or company. Nacho and Sergi consistently receive excellent feedback from our guests, so we would genuinely like to understand what happened. Thank you.
Amazing day trip! Perfect way to beat the heat of the Spanish summer! We started the day at a cafe in Barcelona and drove north to a beautiful beach. The snorkeling was fantastic with clear waters. We saw eels, octopus, starfish, and more. The kayaking was so fun. Our guide Ester was amazing taking us through sea caves, secluded channels next to beautiful coves and cliffs. The cliff jumping was such a rush, something for every level of skill and age. We spent the last hour at the beach eating a filling lunch and laughing with all the friends we made on the trip. Ester made it a beautiful day! She was the best! She spoke English perfectly.
Chivito was amazing, such a great help and was so funny. He told us pirate stories and showed us the dark caves. The experience was perfect❤️
Spent the day kayaking, snorkelling, and cliff diving with Tete along the Costa Brava and it was brilliant. Tete made us feel safe and had a laugh with us the whole way, especially when it came to the cliff jumps! The snorkelling was probably my favourite bit — saw loads of fish and the water was so clear. Would 100% recommend if you're after a fun, active day out on the coast. Thanks Tete!
Such an amazing experience Our tour guide Ivan was amazing
From the first meeting and pick up Sergi took us on a very, very safe drive to a splendid and nature rich snorkeling area. That was fun for the entire family. We then were taken on a nice walk/hike to a great cliff jumping location. Fun was had by all. We were then taken to an amazing restaurant where we shared fantastic local Catolonian food. Sergi continued to amaze us by giving us wonderful recommendations locally for food and other local adventures. I would highly recommend him anytime
