DONT second guess, just do it! - Absolutely loved every part. The hospitality, the recommendations. Worth powering through being seasick 😂 Didn’t anticipate the added layer of exploring the city & getting even more out of the trip which was such a great bonus

Fun and interesting - I had such a wonderful day, even though unfortunately the weather was not good and the sea was too choppy so we could not go out in the kayaks. Matías was honest with us from the start and explained our options. He was consistently kind and supportive to everyone in the group and even arranged for the restaurant to bring me a cake with a candle for my birthday! It was such fun and I would definitely arrange to go on another tour with him...hopefully when the sea is calmer. I 100% recommend this company.

You cannot miss this experience! - The guided kayaking route allows you to know very special corners of the Costa Brava. Matias, the Guide, teaches you everything you need before you start and is always attentive to each person in the group. You can see that he knows the route well and spends time so that everyone has a special moment. I highly recommend it!

The best way to explore the coast! - This tour was the highlight of my trip to Spain! Matius is a great tour guide and takes you on the most beautiful kayak along the coastline. The ability to swim, kayak and snorkel was the best way to explore the costa brava coast and I’d highly recommend the tour to anyone thinking about it. We had ample time to see and experience everything, and it did not feel rushed at all. Lunch back on Tossa de Mar was delicious and a beautiful town to visit. Can’t wait to come back!

Super Recommended - A spectacular tour, small group, comfortable transportation, clear instructions, when arriving in Tossa the spectacular Kayak and Snorkel tour; very complete lunch and all very good menu options. Finally, 2-3 hours to get to know the place... just spectacular. Matías for his part, excellent person, attentive to details, very helpful. A 10 in your service.

Stunning trip with excellent value - This was an outstanding tour. We got a full day in Tossa de Mar with transportation included. We started the morning after arriving in Tossa with a quick kayak lesson just to demonstrate basic paddle maneuvering and then went on several hours of kayaking along the cliffs. Matias (the owner/trip leader) was excellent at guiding the trip and taking lots of pictures. He is a lot of fun. We went inside several different sea caves with the kayaks (everyone uses a double kayak) and in between several cliffs. Our end point for the kayaks was a calm channel where you could cliff jump, snorkel, and even see an octopus hiding in a crevice. Afterwards we kayaked back to the beach and regrouped for lunch at a restaurant (meal cost included) and most everyone chose paella on the menu del dia but you could order quite a few different options. After dessert, we were given a lot of time (I think 3 or 4 hours) to do what we wanted - this can include beach time/swimming, exploring the walled fortress of Tossa de Mar (was extremely cool), shopping, going on a walk along the sea cliffs and getting views - whatever you want to do, you have several hours before meeting up again and driving back to Barcelona. What really set this trip out apart from other available kayaking day trips to Tossa from Barcelona was the free time in Tossa and a much higher quality meal compared to other options. While it was slightly more expensive than the other options, you get WAY more value per dollar and I would choose this tour 10 times out of 10 over any other Tossa kayak tour from Barcelona. Would do this same tour again for sure

Great experience - A very cool experience. It is nice to see some coves that are only accessible by kayak and different caves of very blue waters. The very nice Guide, explains everything you see, takes pictures and then provides them..
