Costa Brava Hike and Snorkel from Barcelona (Small Group)

Everything was spectacular with Mario. Very kind and descriptive with all the explanations about nature and the animals and the plants. He helped me down the hill. I am still surprised that I did this wonderful adventure.

Our Costa Brava hiking and snorkeling tour with Mario was, without a doubt, the highlight of our entire Europe trip. We were incredibly lucky that my partner and I were the only people booked, so it became a private experience, and Mario made every moment unforgettable. Mario is exceptionally knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely fun to be around. Throughout the hike, he shared fascinating insights about the area, its history, nature, and culture, while also engaging us in some of the best conversations we've had on our travels. He has a wonderful way of making you feel comfortable and tailoring the experience to the people he's with. The hike was stunning, the snorkeling was amazing, and Mario's enthusiasm elevated the entire day. By the end, he felt more like a long-lost friend than a tour guide. We genuinely look forward to planning more trips in the future, hoping to experience something like this with him again. We couldn't recommend Mario more highly and thank you for giving us memories that we'll cherish for a lifetime !!

We took an incredible Costa Brava hiking and snorkeling day trip from Barcelona with our guide Mario, and it exceeded every expectation — from excellent pre-tour communication to an engaging 90-minute van ride. The hike was stunning: a loop trail starting in the woods (passing a house built for Dalí) before opening onto elevated rocky coastline with breathtaking views of crystal-clear blue and green water. We capped it off with two hours of snorkeling at a gorgeous beach, the perfect way to cool off after the hike. Mario was professional, knowledgeable, and safety-conscious throughout, making the day a fun, memorable 5 out of 5 experience we’d highly recommend.

Our family of 3 had an amazing time on the Costa Brava Hike & Snorkel tour with Mario! As the owner and our guide, Mario was incredibly attentive, friendly, knowledgeable about the area, and always put safety first. We met right on time, and the 1 1/2 hour drive in his van flew by because he made everyone feel so welcome, comfortable, and engaged. He even made a convenient stop at a grocery store where we could buy bottled water and use the restroom before the adventure began. Mario took us to breathtaking coastal spots that we never would have found on our own, far away from the massive crowds, allowing us to truly enjoy the beauty and tranquility of Costa Brava. The hike was mostly easy, and Mario made sure we took time for water breaks and to soak in the spectacular views along the way. He also knew all the best photo locations and took many wonderful family photos. We finally arrived at Platja de la Fosca und Platja del Castell where we snorkeled in crystal-clear blue water where we spotted many local fish. It was the perfect combination of hiking, swimming, and exploring. Many thanks to Mario for such a memorable day!! it went by so quickly because we were having so much fun! We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Barcelona and looking for a unique day trip. Tips: Wear your swimsuit under your clothes to save time changing, bring a towel and light snacks, and definitely wear comfortable shoes for hiking.

Best tour guide we could’ve asked for. Gave us interesting facts about the area, great with asking us if we needed to stop to rest. And made sure our safety was a priority. Overall, Amazing guy, highly recommend!

Choosing Mario for our hiking and snorkeling experience was one of the best decisions we made during our trip. He was approachable, knowledgeable, and created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the day. He took us to some incredible places, shared interesting facts along the way, and was always happy to help. He also captured some fantastic photos that we'll always treasure. I'm really grateful for the effort Mario put into making the experience so enjoyable. My wife and I had a wonderful time, and I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun, well-organized, and memorable adventure. Thank you, Mario, for making our trip so special!

We had an amazing experience with Mario! He was incredibly kind, friendly, and made us feel comfortable throughout the trip. He showed us all the beautiful spots, shared interesting information, and even took lots of amazing photos for us🩷. My partner and I are so happy we chose Mario as our guide. He made this experience truly unforgettable, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable adventure. Thank you, Mario!☺️

Had a great day with this tour guide! I was travelling solo, but he was so friendly and fun that I never felt bored. He took me on a beautiful hike with amazing views and was happy to take loads of photos for me—they turned out great! He also gave me plenty of time to relax at the beach and enjoy the surroundings. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I’d definitely recommend him.

Mario was extremely kind and knowledgeable. He knew a lot about the area and I loved hearing about the different coves we visited on the hike. The drive from Barcelona to Costa Brava was 1.5 hours but the time flew by while we talked about the history and fun facts of the areas we drove through. He even brought life vests for the people in our group who weren't strong swimmers, so that everyone could enjoy the snorkeling.

We had a great experience with Mario, the best tour guide! He was very helpful and personable. He showed us many great sights and we had a lot of fun on this Costa Brava tour.
