★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,872 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $102Our pick

Kayak, snorkel, and cliff jump along Costa Brava from Barcelona with wetsuits, cave coves, a guided group, and beach lunch.

“Rene was an amazing guide. Even though I had zero kayaking experience, he made it super manageable and accommodating to everyone in the group. The beach was beautiful and we saw schools of fish, starfish, and even an octopus. I would consider this an experience absolutely worth your time if you are an able bodied swimmer, with or without prior kayaking experience. Although the cliff diving was a little more strenuous without water shoes, they are not necessary.”

“We booked this last minute to see Costa Brava and it was one of our most favorite things we did for our 2 weeks in Europe. The meeting and transport were easy and seamless. The kayak, snorkeling and cliff jumping were equal parts fun, exciting, and beautiful. Even the picnic sandwich lunch was great. But the pinnacle was the amazing tour guides, Tim and Ola. Tim was our guide and was by far the most entertaining story teller we have ever encountered. He kept us informed, safe, and engaged for nearly 10 hours. I highly recommend this tour company, this excursion, and literally any activity with Tim as a guide…”

He took tons of pictures of us on his GoPro while we were kayaking. I didn’t have to worry taking pictures at all and completely enjoy this kayaking into Kairos zone. The 3-course meal with a drink was fantastic. I had sangria, seafood paella, and mussels. He also showed us the best spots to walk around town. All of this was included in the price. The best private tour in Costa Brava.”
