Private Costa Brava Kayak Experience With Snorkel From Barcelona

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

We were fortunate enough to do many of the Spanish Trails tours while visiting Barcelona with our 10 and 12 year old kids recently. We highly recommend the kayak/snorkel trip to anyone that would like to experience the unspoiled Spanish coastline while getting a little exercise. Our guide took care of all the details for us so we were able to enjoy ourselves fully. The kids loved jumping off the cliffs into the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean and we all marveled at the unspoiled beauty of the Costa Brava.

Such a great trip with amazing guides! Picnic was very nice and relaxing and the kayaking was easy going.

I have taken many Spanish Trails tours both in Barcelona and in Madrid. This year I took the bike tour, "All Corners", small group Kayaking, and a private Tarragona and Sitges. Each was amazing! The bike tour with Alexandra, was fun and informative. We covered so much of Barcelona, and by using electric bikes climbing hills was so easy! Alexandra was fun and informative. I would highly recommend a bike tour to explore Barcelona, you see and experience almost all areas of Barcelona, something a walking tour couldn't do. The Tapas stop.....YUM! Our small group kayaking tour was a unique and special experience. To see the coast from the spectacular water was unforgettable! Jumping off a cliff (crazy!), swimming in the sea, and a picnic on the beach was just "wow". Fillipo our guide was smart and funny. He added so much to our experience. Tarragona and Sitges, a private tour Spanish Trails created for us, with Andrew was another once in a lifetime experience. Before reaching Tarragona, we stopped at a Roman quarry and a Roman aqueduct. Walking on the aqueduct, more than a "wow moment". Andrew, our guide, exceptional. We covered Tarragona but never felt rushed. Andrew was so knowledgeable. The lunch included with our tour might have been the best meal of our trip! Spanish Trails, I'm not sure how they do it, but each of their trips are exceptional. The guides aren't just guides, but instead you feel you are spending time with a friend. So many thanks.....and I can't wait for my next Spanish Trails adventure! I would highly recommend Spanish Trails for any of their tours and/or for them to create a personalizes tour.

<p>This trip was amazing! Martin our guide was friendly and informative and was able to make adjustments on the fly to accommodate for our family. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great and we weren't able to take the kayaks out, so Martin suggested a hike along the shore to some secluded beaches and coves for swimming and snorkeling. We even found a place to do some cliff jumping. This day trip was the highlight for my two kids and they still talk about it all the time.</p>

<p>Loved Loved Loved. This was amazing! I would do it again and again. Feliepe was a professional and very patient. He was personable and we all had a great time, the kayaks were in good shape and easy to maneuver. I highly recommend. The water was beautiful and the scenery was spectular.</p>

<p>This was one of the highlights of my whole vacation. We had a small group of 8 people. The ride up to the coast was beautiful and an easy 1 hour drive. We each got in our kayaks and off we went. I also was able to use a water tight bag to bring along my camera, sunscreen etc. The water was calm, we went in and out of several coves before finally selecting a spot to eat lunch, swim and snorkel. As a group we kayaked for about 1.5 hours to get to our spot. Lunch was sandwiches, choice of tuna or ham and you were free to bring along snacks if you wanted. Lots of little fish to look at and a rocky hill to climb to take pictures. Some members also took the kayaks back out to keep exploring while others enjoyed the beach. Slightly more wavy ride back about 1 hour. The beach where we returned the kayaks also has a small bar so we all had a well earned cold beer before the ride back into town. What added to making this excursion enjoyable is that we were able to set our own pace for the day.</p>

<p>Excellent adventure, great guide who accommodates everyone and all levels of experience. Double kayak's recommended with kid's as the sea can get choppy at times. But great fun and plenty of sea life to sea when you stop for lunch and go snorkelling.</p>

<p>Amazing! Our guide Alex was knowledgeable and fun, truly made it one of the best experiences my family has ever had.</p>

<p>The tour was great! The guides were very friendly and the scenery was breath taking!</p>

<p>The tour was amazing Alex made it very informative and fun !! Highly recommend</p>

<p>Really fun. The small group was appreciated and the guide was fun, relaxed and had a great amount of local knowledge. Loved it.</p>

<p>great weather allowed for fun day.. was disappointed with the amount of padding since expected to go to the end of the coastline.. lots of time was spent waiting for the slow paddlers to catchup.. program did not match what was advertised.. there was no picnic lunch at the beach.. there was no snorkeling equipment provided.. lots of time waiting at the beach only to return to the startpoint ..could have spent the time paddling more down the coast instead of just sitting on the beach since there was no lunch provided there.. the best part was paddling in and out of the caves..</p>

<p>This tour includes so much more that kayaking. We were able to cliff dive, rock climb, snorkel, hike, and relax on the beach. Plan to be on this excursion for a full day. The snorkeling here wasn't great I didn't see any fish in the 5 minutes that I was able to keep my face in the cold September water, but it was nice to relax on the beach. It was also great to kayak through rock formations and into coves. Keep in mind that this is the Wild Coast, and not a nice, quite float. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was that our tour guide was excellent and so nice, except for once we returned the kayaks and he left us on the beach for about 45 minutes and disappeared. After a long day of kayaking and nice hour and a half rest on the beach for lunch, we were pretty much ready to head home. But the guide company, was fantastic and I would definitely go again.</p>

<p>This tour was awesome! The beach we took off from is gorgeous and the coast is just breathtaking. Alex was a great tour guide and made it really fun. The cave areas were so cool to venture into and the color of the water was a blue I had never seen before! I would recommend bringing a waterproof camera so you can capture a little bit of this trip - it was worth it!</p>

<p>If you want to see Istanbul then I recommend taking this trip ESP if you are only there for a day. Perfect for solo or group of friends and you get to see all the major attractions without waiting in line. And if you really liked something you can always go back after the tour ends</p>

I went with the Sara guide and it was really spectacular. The views and people very good!! The blue sea and the perfect day. I'll be back!
