About this tour
Paddle stable kayaks along Spain's dramatic Costa Brava coastline from Sant Feliu de Guíxols, exploring sea-carved coves and rocky islets before dropping into sheltered waters to snorkel. This two-hour outing works for complete beginners and families with children aged seven-plus, with an instructor keeping pace and sharing local knowledge throughout. You'll spot Mediterranean sea life—fish, anemones, urchins—and occasionally octopuses or starfish in the transparent shallows.
Highlights
- Double sit-on-top kayaks over transparent Mediterranean water
- Snorkel stop in secluded cove with abundant rocky seabed life
- Sea cliffs, islets, and hidden spots inaccessible by land
- Basic paddling tuition and safety briefing included
- Suitable for age seven upwards; no experience necessary
What to expect
After a shoreside briefing on paddle technique and safety, you'll launch from Sant Feliu de Guíxols into calm-to-moderate conditions. The instructor leads the group at a manageable tempo, stopping to point out coastal features and wildlife habits. Midway through, you'll anchor in a protected cove to snorkel; the rocky bottom teems with small fish, sea urchins, and anemones at close quarters. Water temperatures may require a wetsuit. The pace is relaxed rather than athletic, allowing time to absorb the scenery.
Good to know
Swimming ability is mandatory; non-swimmers cannot participate. Children aged seven to thirteen must have an adult alongside them at all times. Maximum weight limit is 120 kg per kayak. Avoid alcohol and medication affecting reaction time. Wetsuits are optional but recommended in cooler months.
