Costa Brava kayaking and snorkeling
We did the Costa Bravo kayaking and snorkeling tour with Mario. We had a fantastic time. He was always checking to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed. He was one of the best guides we ever had! The area was beautiful! Thanks again Mario!!

Life finds a way
We went on the hiking and snorkeling tour with Mario, and after reading the other reviews, we had heard great things about his tour planning and friendliness. We thought he would probably be a great person to go with, but from the moment we were picked up at 8 a.m. until we were dropped off at 4 p.m., he completely lived up to the reviews, if not more so. We spent a week in Spain and had quite a few tour guides, but Mario was one of the only two who really stood out to me as someone who was genuinely passionate about giving tours, helping others, and showing us his world. The experience was incredible. We had a good amount of hiking, a good amount of snorkeling, and we ate around a small Catalan beach town. It really felt like we were getting a good glimpse of local life, but with Mario there to help and support us every step of the way. Even the little things were great !, from the transportation, being in a cool, air-conditioned car and chatting with Mario, to all the individual spots he took us to see. Everything just felt very well planned and effortless. I would definitely recommend Mario as a tour guide. If you’re looking for someone who is friendly, passionate, and genuinely wants you to have a great experience, you can’t go wrong with him.

Look no further. Book this hike and snorkel tour.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AN ABSOLUTE MUST DO IN BARCELONA! We were a group visiting from Arizona, and the Costa Brava Hike and Snorkel was hands down one of the highlights of our entire trip to Spain. The Costa Brava itself is absolutely incredible. The coastline, hidden coves, crystal clear water, hiking, and snorkeling were everything we hoped for and more. Pictures simply do not do this place justice. What really made the experience special, though, was our guide, Mario. He was absolutely amazing. From the very beginning, he made the entire group feel like we were spending the day exploring with a friend rather than following a tour guide. He was funny, knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely passionate about making sure everyone had an incredible experience. Mario had the perfect balance of sharing interesting history and local knowledge while still letting us relax, laugh, explore, and enjoy the experience. Nothing felt rushed, overly touristy, or scripted. It felt like an actual adventure being led by a good friend. Coming from the Arizona desert, spending the day hiking along the Costa Brava, swimming and snorkeling in the Mediterranean, and exploring these incredible coves was something we will never forget. We experienced a lot during our time in Spain, but this was easily one of our favorite days. Mario, thank you for an absolutely unforgettable experience and for making a group of Arizonans feel right at home on the Costa Brava! 🇪🇸🌊🤿🌵 10/10 experience. 10/10 guide. 100% worth it.

Mario is the best guide in Costa Brava!
This was the BEST part of our trip to Spain! Costa Brava is absolutely stunning. Mario took us on a great hike with beautiful views of different coves with picturesque turquoise water. Ended with great snorkeling - better snorkeling than Mallorca - and a quick bite to eat. Mario as our guide really made the entire day extremely fun. We would do this again in a heartbeat.

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Costa Brava Hike and Snorkel from Barcelona (Small Group): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Barcelona.
How much does Costa Brava Hike and Snorkel from Barcelona (Small Group) cost?
+
Prices start at €75 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 Hike and Snorkel from Barcelona (Small Group) take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Hike and Snorkel from Barcelona (Small Group) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 55 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 Hike and Snorkel from Barcelona (Small Group)?
+
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 Hike and Snorkel from Barcelona (Small Group) suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 8. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Costa Brava Hike and Snorkel from Barcelona (Small Group)?
+
Around 19 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Costa Brava Hike and Snorkel from Barcelona (Small Group) 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 Hike and Snorkel from Barcelona (Small Group)?
+
Included: Happiness; Use of snorkeling equipment; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Guide. Not included: Lunch; Drinks; and Fins. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Costa Brava Hike and Snorkel from Barcelona (Small Group)?
+
The guide, wearing a black cap, will be waiting for you in the rest area just outside the metro station. You can easily reach the meeting point by metro, bus, or taxi. We’ll meet at 7:45 a.m. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+

+
