This is a must do excursion, with beautiful views and a great excursion guide. We had Marc as our guide and he was phenomenal! I definitely recommend this if you want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city.

I loved the tour. The water was beautiful. My twelve year old daughter loved the cliff jumping. She did one of the 20 feet jumps. It was about a hour bus ride from the starting point to the beach. The lunch was amazing. We snorkeled and saw vibrant color fish. The kayaking was a relaxing and manageable experience for my family and I. My eight year old son loved kayaking and would definitely recommend for families and couples.

Rene was a terrific guide, how nice to escape the heat and hectic city for a full day. Snorkeling was fun, cliff jumping was memorable, and the double kayaks were easy to paddle. Highly recommend this day trip.

There is a little open water paddling, but most of the time it is against beautiful cliffs. There are caves and coves to explore. It was a very good experience. Our guide Gerard was very friendly and helpful. They get you back in town with about an hour and a half. We choose to enjoy a drink.

Out was great and very informative
Highly recommended

I was a little afraid of this as an old fat guy (53, 225 lbs) but it was perfect. Our guide Santi was engaging knowledgeable and friendly. Cliff jumping, kayaking and snorkeling in Barcelona with my teen daughter will be a cherished memory.

What a Fantastic day! Tete and Marcos were so kind and wonderful! A day to remember for sure! Thank you!!

Our guide Mateu was professional, attentive and knowledgeable. He made sure everyone was having a good time and safe. Not only did he ensure our group was cares for he also was taking care of the animals in the sea. We kayaked into a nature preserve and came across a person snorkeling poaching octopus illegally. He took the GoPro he was taking photos of us dove down caught a video of the poacher in action. He called the authorities and sent them the information. He also flat dove down about 70-80ft to recover a lost mask and snorkel. He loves his country sharing the beauty with visitors. If you can request him as your guide as you will have an amazing experience!!!

Great way to get away from Barcelona for the day. Jamba did an excellent job guiding us through the area, would recommend and come back if I ever had the opportunity.
Kristina_M, May 2026
This was such a wonderful experience, definitely worth it! The guides were excellent, especially JB. The tour was well paced and a great mix of both snorkeling and kayaking. Definitely would do again
Ryan_P, May 2026
Had a wonderful day kayaking, snorkeling, and hanging by the beach at a beautiful location! The kayaking was great with gorgeous views of the coast, and we got to see some fishes and even an octopus when snorkeling. Our guide, JB, was wonderful and knowledgeable about the history of the coast. Got some beautiful pictures as well, with an opportunity to cliff jump! Would recommend to anyone looking for an active, adventurous day getaway from the city.

10/10 day trip to Costa Brava. Our guide Marcos made the whole day easy, fun, and special! The day had everything we wanted; views, adventure, lunch, and time to relax on the beach. Thank you Marcos!

This was my most relaxing day of my trip!
Rene drove us about 90 minutes from Barcelona to a charming seaside town.
We spent a couple hours in a guided kayak exploration of nearby crags and coves, including rock jumping and snorkeling. The water was bright blue and clear; folks saw octopuses and starfish, I saw sea urchin. Rene offered practical guidance and interesting historical context along the way. Yes the water is a little crisp but wetsuits are included and did well for us. I did get sicksick, but Rene patiently guided me through it well.
We ended with a free hour to explore the town or take in the area.
The ride back was easy. Good playlist!
This was my last day in Barcelona and what a send off!

This was absolutely amazing experience. Our tour guide was Marc. He is absolutely amazing. Our group was only 5 people. Marc knows all the special spots. Totally worth the price. 10/10 recommend. Ask to go with Marc.

Mateo was excellent and provided a great experience! Highly recommend this excursion. Great experience!
Jackie_C, Sep 2025
Mateo was the best guide to ever! We thought it might rain but turned out to be a gorgeous day! My fav part was paddling in and out of the rocks with the push and pull of that beautiful blue water! Thanks so much to Mateo for fun drive, tourist recommendations and an awesome kayak trip!

Great kayaking experience with guide Henry, wide range of emotions! Highly recommended for thrill seekers!
Chris_V, Sep 2025
The best day I’ve spent on my trip was doing this activity, even if it made me very sore the next couple days 😊. Henry was an amazing guide, the pictures and videos he took were amazing. I’m trying to decide if I should do it for a 2nd time just for the beauty of the scenery and the workout!
Anna_P, Aug 2025
The experience was fabulous. Very well organised with soo much to see and do. I have done it with my teenage children who absolutely loved it too (especially the cliff jumping). Our guide Henry was excellent in looking after us and making the trip memorable. Definitely recommend
Karla_N, Jul 2025
This was an awesome way to see Costa Brava and jump off a cliff for the first time in my life! Super recommend, even though the sea was rough and I got sea-sick. ( bring Dramamine if you tend towards sea-sickness.)
Kathie_G, Jul 2025
This was a good experience, but not a great one. I purposely chose the “small group” trip over larger group trips advertised and paid more for it. However, this ended up being a large group that was simply broken into two vans of eight each and all the challenges that come with wrangling a large group that I was trying to avoid ensued. I am someone who has kayaked and snorkeled most of my life, and was really looking forward to those activities. However, I was also not happy to find that the only kayaks available were two person kayaks and, unfortunately, the person I was paired with was inexperienced, so that experience was not very enjoyable. Although the description stated that snorkeling fins were not included in the price of the ticket I was told I could rent some when I got to the beach. However, once again that did not prove to be the case, so the snorkeling was not as enjoyable as I had hoped either. The guides were good and knowledgeable and friendly, but the experience overall was sort of a bust for me.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Hi Kathie, thanks so much for the detailed feedback.
I spoke with your guide, and we apologize for the fin situation. At times there may be places to get fins, but it's not in our policy to recommend this - for this exact reason. Due to availability and logistics, fins are not something that we count on for our tours in any sense. It sounds like Rene was trying to be helpful because he had seen some were available, but as we can see, it didn't work out.
Regarding the group logistics on the beach, I suppose you had that feeling because in your case the trainer spoke to two groups at the same time at one moment on the beach. The groups are Small Groups in the sense that the travel and activity itself are done with just your group. People come to the same meeting point and we begin the activity in the same place.
Again, thanks for the feedback.

Such a fun day! It was the perfect amount of adventure for my wife and I and are four kids ages 13, 11, 9 and 8. We can now all check “cliff jumping” off our bucket list… and there were multiple heights so everyone was comfortable. The kayaking was suitable for beginners and we saw a lot fish and some eels while snorkeling. And capped it off with a drink by the beach before heading back! But one of the things that made it all work was Rene — so patient with our kids, kind and overall a joy to spend the day with. Thank you!!
Aubri_S, Jul 2025
This was by far my most favorite experience on my trip to Barcelona. Our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teenagers) all enjoyed our day kayaking, cliff jumping and snorkeling. It felt magical and our tour guide JB was the best! He was so friendly and had so much knowledge about kayaking and the area as a whole. It's definitely a workout and we will all be sore tomorrow but well worth it! Definitely money well spent and a beautiful day and memory our family will have forever!
George_G, Jul 2025
Solo traveler in Barcelona. This was a lot of fun! I would definitely recommend. Chivito was my guide and he really did an excellent job. His presence and energy really added to the experience.
Ramon_M, Jul 2025
The tour was amazing , had a bit of a rough start with one of the guides being late due to traffic in the city that day . They did comp us with free Breakfast . Overall very knowledgeable and friendly staff . Great views, beautiful scenery , small groups and a fun sunny day . Definitely recommend it .

This trip was a highlight of our Spain adventures. Great amount of time to kayak, snorkel and cliff jump. Water was beautiful and pristine. We saw an octopus while snorkeling! Our guide Mateu was friendly, engaging and made sure every one was fun and safe with ages ranging from teenagers to late 50s. The extra time for walking the beach and the light lunch was just right. Don't hesitate- this is a must do if you want to see something most tourists miss.

Fantastic location with beautiful spot for pictures and snorkeling. Guide very friendly and nice. Enough time to relax or be on your own
Ashley_H, Jun 2025
Henry was an amazing tour guide! From history facts or places along the drive to Costa Brava to legends of mermaids in the coastal caves. He was well experienced in kayaking and was helpful along the way. Great cliff jumping spots and pleasant snorkeling spots. The whole family had fun!
Emily_S, Jun 2025
Great day in Costa Brava with JB and his team. They did a quick but informative tutorial explaining kayak technique for beginners. Scenery is beautiful. I would recommend water shoes if you want to do the cliff jumping
Karla_A, Jun 2025
This kayaking trip was amazing and totally hassle-free from the start. Tom and Matt were fantastic guides — super friendly and made the whole experience fun. The kids especially loved the cliff jump, and we all enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Easy enough for beginners, and a great adventure for the whole family. Highly recommend!
Stan_B, Jun 2025
We had a great day kayaking, cliff diving, and snorkelling in Costa Brava with our guide Marc. We had people with different skill levels and Marc made sure everyone in the group had a great time. This was my second time doing this trip with Excursions and it was fantastic both time. I would highly recommend if you want an active day in a beautiful spot.
