From Barcelona: Hike, Snorkel & Cliff Jump in La Costa Brava

6. From Barcelona: Hike, Snorkel & Cliff Jump in La Costa Brava

Join us on the most beautiful coastal trails on La Costa Brava and create memories you cannot forget. We will walk along the historic and ancient path, La Camino Ronda. This experience is a mixture of exploration, adventure, history and culture. The excursion includes a moderate 5km coastal hike through enchanting coves, dramatic seaside cliffs, pine forests and one of Catalunya's most affluent neighborhoods. Throughout, we will stop for breaks to cool off and snorkel in the Mediterranean sea, ending it all with a meal of tasty tapas and refreshing drinks at one of the local restaurants. Heading north to Costa Brava by private air-conditioned van, we will arrive in the heart of La Costa Brava, surrounded by protected beautiful pine-forested sea cliffs. Parts of the 'Camí Ronda' go through narrow paths adapted for trekkers and walkers, which ascends and descends several times. On some occasions we also walk through sea promenades and beaches, natural and manmade stairs and flat paved paths. On our side we will be having stunning views of the Costa Brava Mediterranean sea, with its unique turquoise clear waters. We will go through pine forests and a protected coastal area which includes the marine reserve, perfect for refreshing ourselves with a snorkeling, swimming and of course a couple of safe, not too high cliff jumps (ask more about these if you need) This trail is easy and fun for beginners, however, you still need to be able to walk up rugged sloped paths. Upon reaching our final stop, we'll sit down together in a local restaurant for a menu del dia. We have several routes in La Costa Brava, especially designed so that you can make the most of the charms of the Costa Brava but trying to adapt to most levels. Thus to say, it's not a fullon hiking day. This is also not a cliff diving or snorkeling tour per say, they are just 2 refreshing and adventurous small parts of this tour.

What people are saying about Girona

One of the best experience of my life. André was so fantastic so personable made it about my experience. What an experience it was. André is so passionate and knowledgeable. I cannot explain how amazing booking this tour was. I wish I would of booked this my first day in Barcelona. You truly “DO NOT” need any other company. All you need is André !! He made me fall in love with España. If I could give more stars I would. I felt safe in his hands at all times. André made me want to come back to Barcelona and explore more. Best tour, best tour guide, best experience.

We did the 5.5 hours trip Roses to Cap Creus. Every moment enjoyable. Great fun day out. Brilliant views. Crew fantastic, food tasty, a lots of soft drinks or sangria served with the meal included in the price. Enough time to swim and eat on board. Music was good, low key party feel but def not a booze cruise, no forced fun. Very inclusive, enjoyable for all the members of our family - Mum, Dad and teen. Highly recommend

The organization and information in advance worked very well. The balloon ride was wonderful and could have been a little longer. The flight attendants were very friendly and helpful. Conclusion: again at any time - an impressive experience!

All great, a great experience. We really enjoyed it and would do it again. Both the captain and the sailors very nice ❤️

Very thorough tour and lessons of culture and history
