What to expect
You'll meet your guide early and travel by minivan to the launch point on the Costa Brava. After a brief kit check and safety briefing, you'll paddle for roughly two hours, reading the swell and staying close to the shoreline. The boat handling is manageable—your guide will show you how to brace and turn. You'll beach at a quiet cove where snorkelling gear awaits; the water is usually clear enough to spot fish and rocky terrain below. Lunch happens here, unhurried. The return paddle is gentler, often with the light behind you. By afternoon you're back in the van heading to Barcelona.
Good to know
Bring swimwear, towel, sun protection and water shoes. Moderate fitness required; inform operators of any mobility concerns when booking. Poor weather won't cancel the trip—your guide adapts the route instead. Infant seats available on request.
