This is an amazing excursion. We had the kayak/snorkling adventure hosted by JB. He was a great…read moreguide and such an easy going guy, you felt really safe and comfortable out on the water.
We met up at Port Olimpic with the others taking the tour. After a stop for gas and treats, we made our way to Costa Brava. There we donned wet suits and got changed before heading to our kayaks. Our group had tandems.
I was a bit nervous about the snorkeling as I've never done it but he helped ease my fears. We were able to kayak to some beautiful spots, hold a sea urchin and cliff jump. If you don't have a waterproof camera, you won't be able to bring it with you. JB ensures he takes a lot of photos of each participant in all the activities, and then uploads them to Facebook.
I really enjoyed my 3-4 hours on the water. It was calm and there wasn't much traffic on the water so no dodging swimmers or other boats. We also learned how to get back on the kayak if it tips over. The snorkling was easy and it was a bit disappointing to not see anything. But that is out of his control.
After we make it to shore, he prepares a simple sandwich lunch. It was delicious. The ride home was a sleepy one but overall a great day.
I highly recommend this tour for those visiting Barcelona that want to get away from the city. It's fun, good exercise and very memorable. Just bring water shoes so your feet don't get eaten up by the rocks.
