On this tour we are going to visit the Girona coast, christened 100 years ago as the Costa Brava. The name is due to its unique rocky, rugged and cut shape coastline, composed of small coves surrounded by pine forests and lapped by crystal water. The fame of Costa Brava is also due to its villages. Small fisherman towns, with whitewashed walls and narrow winding streets, today still retain their charm. We will discover the southern part of the Costa Brava visiting two villages that represent the essence of that coast. They are opposed to each other but, at the same time, complementary, and after few hours after leaving Barcelona, we will go back with a complete idea of what Costa Brava is.

    What you'll see and do

    1. Lloret de Mar

      We will take the motorway and after 1h15m we will be at Lloret de Mar, the main touristic village of Costa Brava. We will have about one hour to explore this colorful and dynamic village with strong personality. Along its unique beach promenade we will be able to enjoy great views of its beaches. Walking through its narrow streets, which still have reminiscence of its recent maritime past, we will find plenty of shops to suit all tastes: from the latest brands to the typical beach bazaars. In the middle of its most famous shopping street we will also be able to admire architectural jewels of great value such as Saint Roma church. At approximately 11:30am we will go on board DOFIJETS, which will lead us to the neighboring village of Tossa de Mar. During the sailing trip we will be able to enjoy the unique and characteristic landscape of Costa Brava: a procession of different huge cliffs which have been shaped in fanciful forms over the centuries by the strength of sea and wind.

    2. Tossa de Mar

      At about 12:15 pm we will get to the emblematic village of Tossa de Mar, considered “the pearl of Costa Brava” because in this small area we can find all those landscape and historic elements which have given it such well-deserved fame. History has left his footprints, from the Romans to its emblematic fortified Vila Vella or Old Town of Tossa, which was listed as an artistic-historic monument in 1931. Once we arrive in Tossa de Mar, we will begin a walking tour from the beach, following the fortified perimeter up to the lighthouse on the top, for those who are interested. Over there, you will appreciate stunning views from the coastline. When descending, we will go through the narrow streets and stony houses of Vila Vella until we get to the fishing district. From there on, you will have free time to have lunch. This village has the greatest gastronomic offer from all Costa Brava. At 4:00pm the tour will be finished and we will go back to Barcelona by bus. Arrival at 5:30 pm.

    Lovely Costa Brava tour...

    Lovely Costa Brava tour with Monica. The boat trip has provided a different view of the land. The Tossa de Mar guided tour was very well explained by Monica. The historical facts were appreciated. Kudos to Monica for adapting to one of the participants’ needs, the extra kindness was nice to see. Thank you for the tour Monica!

    Fabulous day trip

    Our trip today was absolutely fabulous. Our guide Monica was just amazing. We were very well looked after. Monica was very knowledgeable. The little boat trip was most enjoyable with Sangria at a cost of 1 euro! We would definitely recommend this trip, one not to be missed. Thank you Monica.

    Costa Brava Day Sightseeing Tour with Boat Trip from Barcelona: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Barcelona.

    How much does Costa Brava Day Sightseeing Tour with Boat Trip from Barcelona cost?

    +

    Prices start at $68 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Barcelona usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Costa Brava Day Sightseeing Tour with Boat Trip from Barcelona take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Barcelona is not rushed.

    Is Costa Brava Day Sightseeing Tour with Boat Trip from Barcelona worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 340 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Barcelona, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Costa Brava Day Sightseeing Tour with Boat Trip from Barcelona?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Costa Brava Day Sightseeing Tour with Boat Trip from Barcelona suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Costa Brava Day Sightseeing Tour with Boat Trip from Barcelona?

    +

    Around 119 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Barcelona can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Barcelona and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Costa Brava Day Sightseeing Tour with Boat Trip from Barcelona start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Barcelona within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Barcelona?

    +

    Barcelona's Gaudí sites are capacity-limited and the official timed tickets go first, so most of the market is resellers with a guide attached. We weight those heavily on whether the guide is an architecture specialist. Beyond Gaudí, the tapas crawls in Gràcia and the Montserrat day trips carry the highest rankings in the city. On Outty we rank every Barcelona experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Costa Brava Tour: Kayak, Snorkel & Cliff Jump from Barcelona, Gràcia Tapas and Vermouth Crawl, Girona & Dali Museum Small Group Tour with Pick-up from Barcelona. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Barcelona?

    +

    May, June, September and October. Sagrada Família light is best mid-morning. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Barcelona?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Costa Brava Day Sightseeing Tour with Boat Trip from Barcelona?

    +

    Included: Local guide; Guided visit in Tossa de Mar; One-way boat ticket from Lloret de Mar to Tossa de Mar; Live commentary on board; and Transport by air-conditioned coach with free Wi-Fi. Not included: Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    +
