Description

Begin your day with a 2-hour 15-minute sea kayaking adventure on the Mediterranean coast of Costa Brava. Departing early when conditions are calm, you will paddle a stable, efficient closed sea kayak designed for touring. This kayak type offers protection from splashes and greater control compared to recreational models.

After a safety briefing and paddling instruction from your professional guide, you will launch directly into the water and follow a route passing beneath rugged cliffs and hidden coves. Key points of interest include Les Sofreres, Cala del Molí (known for its seaside via ferrata), Cala Ametller, and the cliffs of Cap de Mort.

The tour’s highlight is reaching the Cova dels Rats Penats, a sea cave carved into the granitic cliffs in Sant Pol–S’Agaró bay. Weather and sea conditions permitting, you may approach or enter the cave. The guide maintains a comfortable pace with safety as a priority.

Photos taken during the tour are included at no extra cost. All necessary equipment is provided, including the kayak, paddle, life jacket, spray skirt, and optional wetsuit for cooler weather.
