Kayak & Snorkel Tour, Costa Brava — Sant Feliu de Guíxols
Description
Enjoy an exciting and fun kayak and snorkel adventure through the spectacular natural surroundings of the Costa Brava. Perfect for families, groups of friends, and people with no prior experience. Departing from Sant Feliu de Guíxols, you will paddle stable sit-on-top kayaks over crystal-clear waters, exploring coves, islets, cliffs, and hidden spots accessible only from the sea. Before departure, the instructor will explain basic paddling techniques and safety guidelines. The guide accompanies the group at all times, adapting the pace so everyone can enjoy the experience comfortably while sharing interesting facts about the area. During the excursion, there will be a stop in a sheltered cove to snorkel and observe the Mediterranean rocky seabed, where fish, sea urchins, and anemones are commonly seen, and—with a bit of luck—starfish or octopuses. This is a 2-hour activity, suitable for participants aged 7 and over, with no special physical condition required. Double sit-on-top kayaks are mainly used.

We went early in the morning, wonderfully quiet on and under water. Nice view of Sant Feliu and the coast. Clear explanation about paddling and route, snorkeling was cool, starfish and lots of fish spotted. Pace fine to do. Getting in and out of the boat is a bit of a trick, if you know how it is easy. View of the via ferrata, which unfortunately has to close permanently due to rash actions of people without climbing experience who crash and the action of 1 person who had to break hatching eggs of rare bird. Too bad, for the tourists, but also for the guides. Furthermore, very useful information about the brown omelette jellyfish: does not sting, harmlessly, that saves us a lot of stress when we meet them again with swimming. Pablo explains everything fine, great guide. Fun experience to do with your family.
The tour with Sergio was absolutely amazing ! He took us to cool places, and explained everything. My son was a little scared of snorkeling, and he was very kind and compassionate, and tried to calm him down. If you are ever in Spain, in Costa Brava, first thing on your list, go to Kayak Center Guixols, and hope Sergio there, even though other guys were amazing as well !
Thank you for sharing your fantastic experience, Lior! We're thrilled to hear how much you and your family enjoyed the tour with Sergio. Your feedback truly means a lot, and we hope to welcome you again soon.
Super cool to do as a family. I went with my two children and teamwork is really cool. Pablo, a great guide and instructor.
Recommended, the instructor Juan, very friendly, polite, and concerned at all times, entertaining activity and very good routes
A wonderful and affordable experience for all ages. Fun and with all the necessary equipment to do it safely.
Juan, our guide, was very nice, and above all the team was very understanding because we couldn't find a parking spot and they agreed to wait for us and then tow us by motorboat to the snorkeling spot!
Merci, Nathalie, pour partager votre expérience. Nous sommes ravis que notre équipe ait pu vous aider et que vous ayez apprécié l'excursion. Votre retour est motivant pour continuer à offrir un excellent service.
Very nice with my 10-year-old son, with the nice guide Marc.
Merci Fabio ! Nous sommes ravis que votre expérience avec notre guide Marc ait été si agréable avec votre fils. Au plaisir de vous revoir pour d'autres aventures !
On arrival, private transport, kindly received. Stuff safely stored in the reception cabin. We were provided with a life vest and a snorkel. After a short explanation with a double kayak out to sea. Beautiful images of the cliffs present. After a nice bit of sailing the kayaks were captured and we were allowed to snorkel freely. After snorkeling a nice trip back. All this under the guidance of our top guide “Jaume”. Entire tour took about 1.5 hours. Nice morning spend 💪😉
Bedankt voor je enthousiaste review, Michael! We zijn blij dat je genoten hebt van de ervaring en dat onze gids Jaume het extra speciaal heeft gemaakt. Hopelijk zien we je snel weer bij een volgende activiteit!
I loved it! I will do it again! We had Jaume as a guide and he was very attentive and kind! The route was a wonder to behold!
Muchas gracias por la reseña! Nos encanta que os divirtáis con nosotros!
We went kayaking and snorkeling with Jaume; he was super attentive, looking out for us and our little one. It was the first time we tried an experience like this as a family and it made us want to do it again. We saw little fish, starfish, hermit crabs, and sea urchins.
Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutaron de la experiencia en familia y tuvieron un día tan especial explorando la vida marina. Esperamos verlos pronto en otra aventura con nosotros.
