Did this activity by myself. Jamba was great and patience with everyone in the group. Pointed out an octopus during snorkeling and assisted navigating the water when cliff jump. Jamba was inclusive during tour and informative.

Our guide JV was outstanding.! Being by myself, I felt safe and well informed of all that we were going to do and throughout the day.
I would definitely do this again and highly recommend this excursion.
My advice to anyone doing this, bring your own water shoes, water and sunscreen. The sandwich that was provided was way too much for me to finish and very good!
The sights we were show were stunning and out guide JV was very conscious of our surroundings and incredibly knowledgeable and respectful of the environment.

Marcos was an exceptional host. Very friendly. Excellent English but was happy to let me practice my Spanish while we drove! Safe driver in a comfortable van. It was pretty busy at Costa Brava but everything was smooth and we never felt crowded during our kayaking, snorkeling and cliff jumping. Marcos was enthusiastic the entire time and really wanted to ensure all in our group were having fun. He stayed busy getting video and photos of the entire group, which he shared via Google Drive that night. Thought this trip was well worth the price and we have some great memories. Definitely recommend.

Very well organized. Our team leader was Ivan who was quite amazing! He helped us with kayaking, snorkeling and the cliff diving. Amazing experience!!
Odina_D, Jul 2026
Mateu was excellent. Very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this day trip when staying in Barcelona.
Ava_S, Jul 2026
It was a lot of fun. I went solo but still felt very included. Everyone was really nice and we had a great tour guide
Susan_M, Jul 2026
Matt was an amazing guide! He gave us basic kayaking instruction and we kayaked through beautiful clear blue water to the cliff jumping, snorkeling and a cave. The snorkeling was amazing we saw red starfish, octopus and so many fish.
Gabriel_D, Jul 2026
Amazing experience with Gerard. He was patient with my daughters and encouraged them along the way..
Hussein_K, Jul 2026
We had a great time on this trip and would definitely recommend it if you are in Barcelona for a few days. We got taken out about an hour to the Costa Brava coast and really enjoyed some time away from the city.
Tete was our guide who was fab- really friendly and encouraging. We picked up the kayaks, took them to a place for the cliff jump and then did some snorkelling. We saw some great sites and really enjoyed our time.
We finished with lunch which was a sandwich. Only thing I would advise is to take some snacks to complement the sandwich, which can be eaten on the beach after a morning of exercise!

Mateo, did an awesome job today taking us on our Kayak, Snorkel and Cliff Jump adventure. The weather was perfect. The beach was perfect. Even that basic Tuna Sandwhich was great. You get a choice of Turkey or Chorizo as well.
You meet in kind of a random spot in Barcelona, but don’t be concerned. We went with our 12 and 8 year old daughter. This was a great relaxing day about 75 mins east of Barcelona. Have fun. Take a break and have a Cappuccino on the beach after.
Bridget_F, Jul 2026
We had a great experience! What an awesome day exploring Costa Brava with our amazing guides! I highly recommend this trip!
Dean_C, Jul 2026
It was great time I was able to see the beautiful beaches of costa brava. It was so fun being able to kayak and go cliff jumping. If I had the chance to choose my guide again I would define recommend Ivan as he will take care of you and your experience will not be an hassle.

Sergi was great. Good conversationalist, friendly, and helpful to those in group needing. Cared most about our experience and safety. Completely worth the value.
Charon_H, Jun 2026
We had a wonderful time kayaking & snorkeling! Our guide JB was fun & very knowledgeable about the area.

I left a review yesterday but I needed to come back to say just how incredible it was to receive the photos and videos from Marcos. They are spectacular and we are so appreciative to have the memories!
Serena_L, Jun 2026
I had a great time today. I signed up for the big group for reference. We got taken in an air conditioned bus and since there was so many of us got divided into four groups. There was 11 in my group but everyone was great. We started with kayaking, then snorkelling and finally cliff diving. A few points to help if you sign up; I found pool shoes with backs on them really helped as there are some sea urchins, the sand is very hot and climbing up the rocks helps. All in all it was an amazing day and one of my favourite days in my 14 day trip.
Amanda_W, Jun 2026
It was a wonderful trip. Our guide Chivito was outstanding. He made the day memorable and fun. The kayaking, snorkeling and cliff jumping was all arranged well and there is a nice restaurant close to the beach for drinks after we returned. My girls and I loved this day.
Marisol_S, Jun 2026
We had an awesome day snorkeling, swimming, and kayaking. Mateo was an awesome guide and friendly. He took us thru caves and were able to jump off cliffs. We finished the day with free time on the beach.
kari_w, Jun 2026
The bus to get there was tight fitting in some seats. Overall great trip! Nala is the best guide. Sign up today.
Justice_M, Jun 2026
This was the best thing i’ve done so Santi was the best guide and captured memorable moments i would recommend to anyone traveling here in barcelona
Chris_P, Jun 2026
This was our adventure day, and it did not disappoint.
We kayaked along the beautiful Costa Brava coastline, explored sea caves, snorkeled in the Mediterranean, and had the chance to jump from three different cliff heights.
The water was much colder than we expected, so we really appreciated that the crew provided wetsuits and helped everyone get fitted before heading out.
The kayaking was the highlight for us. The coastline is absolutely stunning, and being able to paddle into the openings of the sea caves was a very cool experience. The snorkeling was enjoyable, although we wish that portion had been a little longer since there wasn’t a lot of marine life to see.
The transportation from Barcelona was comfortable and well organized. The meeting point also had a nearby coffee shop, which made it easy to grab breakfast and coffee before the drive. Sandwiches were provided after the tour and were much appreciated after several hours on the water.
Overall, this was a fun, active excursion in an exceptional setting. If you’re looking for a day of adventure and some of the most beautiful scenery on the Costa Brava, this tour is a great choice.

Fantastic escape from Barcelona for the day! Kayaked out to beautiful coastline scenery, clear water for snorkeling + cliff diving. Marcos was an amazing guide, friendly, knowledgeable + a great sense of humor. Highly recommend!️
Connor_C, Jun 2026
Super fun coastal kayaking, cliff diving, and snorkeling adventure with Marcos. He was timely, professional, and spoke excellent english. They have a secure place to store your belongings, a fridge you can store water in (if you ask nicely 😉), and Marcos takes GoPro pictures and videos for everyone! All you need to bring is a towel (if you want one, you probably won't need it. I didnt.), a change of clothes, a wallet for the snack shack and bar located on the beach, and a good attitude! This was absolutely worth the money. Thanks again, Marcos!
Marissa_F, Jun 2026
This was such a memorable and fun day. We had Gerard as our guide and he was kind, knowledgeable and an amazing guide. The water and activities were unbeatable. Book this experience!
Rosa_D, Jun 2026
Great time snorkeling and kayaking. Our guide, Mateu, did an excellent job. Even though the day was hot, he suggested we use wet suits because the water would be cold...great call. We were comfortable the whole time and had plenty of time to snorkel and kayak. Gracias Mateu!
