4.00We only kayaked 1 km out then snorkeled a bit at 2 locations that were relatively close to each other. Then a 3 location to cliff jump. Would give it 5 stars if it was more kayaking than snorkeling.
amazing!!

5.00such a fun outing! the whole day was so fun, we really enjoyed being able to swim around and explore. Andy our guide was super cool and chill really made the whole trip amazing. wetsuits were included which was great because it was a little overcast when we started but the water was so warm and we saw so many fish and amazing wildlife!! definitely recommend if you’re tired of walking through museums and want something more lowkey!
Fun adventure!

4.00Mark was adequate as a guide, but the experience could have been enriched had he used the 2.5-hour bus ride to share more about himself, Costa Brava, or Spanish culture. While he greeted us and provided instructions, he didn’t engage much with the group, which gave the impression that he wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about being there. Upon arrival, we were introduced to the kayak and snorkelling instructors. The beach is quite pebbly, so swim shoes are highly recommended. If you don’t have any, they’re available for purchase onsite (12 euros for swim shoes, 10 euros for waterproof phone cases). The activity itself included kayaking, snorkelling, and a second kayaking leg to a spot where you could snorkel and cliff jump. Unfortunately, the snorkelling sites were underwhelming—lacking vibrant marine life and mostly grey in appearance. That said, the instructors were helpful and attentive, especially when assisting those whose kayaks had flipped. The picnic lunch was basic: a large sub sandwich with minimal meat, lettuce, tomato, and a bottle of water.
