Detailed itinerary

Your day begins at the charming square of Placeta de Vicenç Albert Ballester, conveniently located near Barcelona’s Arc de Triomf. Here, you’ll meet your guide and fellow adventurers before boarding a comfortable, air-conditioned coach.

Sit back and relax on a picturesque 80-minute coach ride north along the Catalan coast, where rolling landscapes and glimpses of the Mediterranean guide you toward the pristine beauty of Costa Brava. Upon arrival at the golden-sand beach of S’Agaró, your adventure begins with a quick orientation before setting out on a guided kayaking trip along rugged cliffs and hidden coves. You’ll pause to snorkel in crystal-clear waters, discovering vibrant marine life beneath the surface, and midway through the experience, enjoy a fresh picnic lunch on the beach while taking in the spectacular coastal views.

Following your guided activities, the afternoon is yours to enjoy at leisure—stretch out on the sand, take a refreshing swim, or wander along the scenic coastal paths, soaking in Costa Brava’s natural charm at your own pace. As the sun begins to lower, you’ll rejoin your group for a comfortable 80-minute drive back to Barcelona, the perfect opportunity to relax, share stories, and scroll through photos from your adventure-filled day.

You’ll arrive back at the same square where your journey began, carrying with you unforgettable memories of Costa Brava’s hidden treasures and coastal beauty.
