We had such a memorable tour kayaking along the incredible Costa Brava with Craig. He made us feel totally safe and comfortable while he effortlessly guided us on kayaks through the most breathtaking areas of the coast. We ate a delicious lunch on a pristine sandy beach and took swims before heading back. Craig made the day one of our best of a week in Barcelona!

Perfect day on the water. Seaside atmosphere, several moments of snorkelling, bcp kayaking. Visit several places where we were alone in the world. Our guide was very caring with us. Everything was perfect!
We spent the day with Anthony (Antonio) visiting the Dahli and Costa Brava area. He was knowledgeable and personable. We enjoyed a fabulous lunch and conversation! He was punctual. We liked that he gave us time to wander the areas a bit! Fun way to finish our visit to Barcelona! Thank you! ?(our tour was not snorkeling. And included the Dahli)
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!
Hello! Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We are beyond happy Martin provided you with one of the best days of your trip in the western Mediterranean! We hope to treat you to another amazing experience soon! Thank you, Spanish Trails
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.
Hi John! We will make sure that this lovely reviews reaches Martin! Thank you very much for leaving this thoughtful comment. Best regards, -- Spanish Trails Team
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!
Thank you for your review! It's great to know that you enjoyed the day trip in Costa Brava. Hope you see you again back in Barcelona!
WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! Craig was amazing, he’s not only such a talented tour guide, but he is extremely knowledgeable!
We added this kayak day at the last minute, and were so glad we did. Our guide, Martin, was perfection. We kayaked, jumped off a big rock, snorkeled, picnicked and enjoyed a really great family day. Pro Tip: Wear water shoes. Really. Wear water shoes.
Hello, We sure are glad you last minute added the Kayaks and Coves of Costa Brava Day Tour to your agenda. This tour is a major hit with the family, being that there is something for every member of the family to enjoy. We hope the rest of your trip went well. Best, Carter
