Sign up, pay the $300 and cross it off your bucket list. Pro You are up in a hot air balloon. How cool is that? Con Expensive; early morning; You do not fly over Barcelona. You drive out an hour and fly over some town in the middle of nowhere.

Read some great reviews on travel sights and decided that going on a balloon ride seemed like a…read moregreat idea - and it was! It's definitely not a cheap experience but you'll find that with any hot air balloon ride. We were picked up in Barcelona at the right time and place, and taken out to a hotel/cafe about 45+ min away. We had a quick coffee and met up with the other couple that would be up in the air with us. We got back in the van and drove about 5 minutes to the site. Our balloon was there but the guys were worried about the wind so they did a test and we ended up having to change locations to a second area near a small town about 20 or so minutes away. Then the fun of filling up the balloon begins! It's a very interesting experience. The whole time in the balloon is maybe an hour but I suppose that's all you really need. It's very peaceful and serene. I was kind of hoping that we would see something a little bit more interesting. Once we were done, we had some sandwiches and cava and were taken back into the city. It was a very long morning but overall a very enjoyable experience. Our guides were fun and taught us a lot about ballooning and the fun people they've met/experiences they've had. Very important note - if you have a smaller bladder, there is NOWHERE to go after the cafe.

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.

What fun! Kayaking,snorkeling, and cliff jumping! Marco's was our guide and he was very friendly,…read moresweet, and helpful with my 73 year old mom! He was great. Will definitely return.
