It was a great day. It was fast moving day with friendly instructors. The views were spectacular. I recommend it!
From Barcelona we were taken to Costa Brava by Andy. Our one star is for him. He was really friendly, welcoming and helpful. When we got to Costa Brava the group was split into smaller groups. Our guide was called Hugo. At the start he asked the group who had kayaked before and we were all beginners. Despite knowing this and visibly helping the others in the group, he acted dismissive and spoke very rudely to us. There were multiple incidents such as not helping us when we were struggling. One of us was even badly bruised. This was clear racial discrimination as we were the only asians in the group. We were greatly disappointed by this as we were not able to fully enjoy the experience or even participate in it. When we wanted to cliff jump he ignored us and didn’t offer us any help despite encouraging the others in the group. He even made snarky remarks telling us to get out the way. For the rest of our activities, we felt uncomfortable to participate and unwelcome. This was all extremely unprofessional and disappointing as it dampened our mood and ruined what should have been a memorable day. We hope this is taken seriously and that future participants don’t feel prejudiced against as we did.
It’s easy to give five stars when the weather and water conditions are close to ideal, however the credit should go to our guides Andy and Hugo. They did an outstanding job and we couldn’t be happier.
We had such a great time on this trip! After sight seeing in the city for a few days, it was great to take a trip to coastal brava for some fun in the sun. The kayaking and snorkeling were super fun for all of us.
Amazing the guy . Can't remember his name . Scottish guy was absolutely lovely and was amazing at taking us round . Even kind enough to let me charge my phone at the bar afterwards. Also booked another trip through them due to the discount you get and the monstratt trip was amazing like seriously amazing
Awesome time on the water, wind turned the sea a bit choppy but it was still fun to be out there, guide was great and had fantastic sandwiches for after.
Our guides were amazing and very fun about getting us in and out of the water, as well as find the perfect photo opportunities! The tour is amazing and gives you a great way to see Costa brava. I would recommend it for individuals who are more on the athletic side as is can be tiring to row!
Overall, we really enjoyed the experience as beginner kayakers. The day goes by very quickly so I recommend having your bathing suit under your clothes ready to go. I also recommend buying the water shoes there or bringing your own as the sand contains pebbles and the rocks may be sharp when snorkeling. You can get by being a beginner at kayaking, but You definitely need to have some athletic and swimming ability to do this excursion so just keep that in mind! The water felt great and it was a beautiful experience. Lunch is a quick sandwich on the beach and then we headed back to the meeting point. This trip is mainly only kayaking and some snorkeling!
We only kayaked 1 km out then snorkeled a bit at 2 locations that were relatively close to each other. Then a 3 location to cliff jump. Would give it 5 stars if it was more kayaking than snorkeling.
such a fun outing! the whole day was so fun, we really enjoyed being able to swim around and explore. Andy our guide was super cool and chill really made the whole trip amazing. wetsuits were included which was great because it was a little overcast when we started but the water was so warm and we saw so many fish and amazing wildlife!! definitely recommend if you’re tired of walking through museums and want something more lowkey!
