The pace suits most fitness levels, with an air-conditioned vehicle handling transport between sections.

What to expect
You'll start with a scenic drive from Barcelona to the trailhead, then walk sections of the Costa Brava's coastal path. The route winds past limestone cliffs, pine-covered slopes, and hidden beaches accessible only on foot. After 3–4 hours of walking (with breaks), you'll reach a cove where snorkelling begins. The water is typically calm and clear enough to see the seafloor. Your guide points out fish species, sea urchins, and rock formations. The hike itself is moderate—mostly flat to gently rolling terrain with occasional steep scrambles down to water level.
Good to know
Bring sun protection, water, and snacks; lunch isn't provided. Wear sturdy walking shoes with grip for rocky sections. The snorkelling is in shallow water (2–6 metres) suitable for non-swimmers. Public transport links the area if you prefer independent travel. Infant seats available if needed.
