One of the best days of our vacation!
This is exactly the adventure we were hoping for! Our tour guide, Toni, was fantastic, informative, friendly, and helpful. We were a family of 4 (two adult children in their 20's and parents 50 and 61). On the way to Costa Brava we stopped about halfway to hit the bathrooms and grab a bite to eat (if needed). The trekking was a bit tough at times (for the old folks!) but we walked off all those tapas we'd been enjoying on this vacation! The kayaking was great even though the water was a tad choppy - another great workout. We snorkeled and jumped off some small cliffs (yes, even us older folks). The water was amazing, the views were spectacular and the kids got plenty of Insta-worthy photos. The kids said this was the best day of the whole trip. Storing our belongings before kayaking was interesting - you put your backpacks in a room with a few folks working there, but it is relatively accessible to all. Still, everything was in the exact spot we left it when we got back. We stored our phones and valuables in a box behind the counter. There were restrooms there and places to change, if needed. We ate at a local restaurant near our pick-up location and had plenty of time to eat, stroll on the beach or even explore the town, if we wanted, before heading back to Barcelona. I would highly recommend this trip! Be prepared for a workout, but with breathtaking views and beautiful waters and caves, it was really fantastic!

Nice easy kayaking in a beautiful setting
The guide was very personable and informative. Unfortunately, it started pouring down rain during our "hike" to the kayak beach which, of course, is out of everyone's control. I would not call the walk "trekking" or "hiking". The kayaking was fun. There were no details about the itinerary of the 5 hour excursion which would have been helpful - order of events, wearing your bathing suit, places to change, wetsuits available, etc. The trip we booked through Civitatis also noted "snorkeling" and there was NO snorkeling. Finally, the 5 hour excursion was only 2 1/2 hours.
Response from the operator: Hello Erica, Thank you for your comment, we are glad that you liked the place, the Costa Brava never disappoints. Unfortunately, the meteorological factors are not in our hands, but we always try to worry about the safety of our clients. As for the hike, it is a simple walk suitable for all audiences and ages, as described in the program. The total activity lasts 8 hours, from the time you leave Barcelona until the return. I'm sorry that the tour was short, but the day is very complete from start to finish. The details of the itinerary are communicated from the beginning of the tour and in your specific case you will be informed by phone, by mail and by WhatsApp. Snorkeling is always done, but it is not mandatory, so if you did not want to snorkel it was your own decision. In any case, it was a pleasure having you with us and we invite you to come back so you can enjoy everything you couldn't do.

Costa Brava is a must see!
One of the most beautiful hikes I have ever done! The views are out of this world. Kayaking in and out of coves and alone the hike we just did was beautiful! Julia as a host was great! Super laid back and fun to talk to! Finished with an amazing seafood meal on the beach!
Response from the operator: Thank you Arielle for your comment. We are flattered by your enthusiasm and that you had such a good time :) We love being able to show you the most beautiful places on the Costa Brava and being able to offer an activity to enjoy. If one day you return to Barcelona, do not hesitate to contact us.

Relaxing day full of sun, fun and friends!
Julia is a gentle and easy going guide. She helped to make the experience feel simple and relaxing. The hike along the cost and kayaking around the rocks were peaceful. We had the best day taking in Costa Brava. She also gave us the best recommendation for a lunch spot by the beach. It was perfect.
Response from the operator: Thank you Cherly for your comment. We are glad to know that you enjoy our tours, the landscape and the company of the guide. If you ever return to Barcelona do not hesitate to contact us.

Amazing tour and guides
Great workout after a week of eating and drinking! Hour hike, 2 hours kayaking. Really beautiful scenery around rock formations and caves, swimming in crystal clear water. Drinking water provided. Time for lunch and relaxing ride back to Barcelona. Highly recommend this tour to get out of the city and see the beautiful Mediterranean up close.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Kayak and trekking through the wonderful Costa Brava: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Barcelona.
How much does Kayak and trekking through the wonderful Costa Brava cost?
+
Prices start at $95 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 Kayak and trekking through the wonderful Costa Brava 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 Kayak and trekking through the wonderful Costa Brava worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 23 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 Kayak and trekking through the wonderful Costa Brava?
+
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 Kayak and trekking through the wonderful Costa Brava suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Kayak and trekking through the wonderful Costa Brava?
+
Around 8 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 Kayak and trekking through the wonderful Costa Brava 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 Gràcia Tapas and Vermouth Crawl, Costa Brava Tour: Kayak, Snorkel & Cliff Jump from Barcelona, Costa Brava Tour: Kayak, Snorkel, Cliff Jump & lunch Small Group. 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.
