From Roses: Visit Cadaqués (New Free Audio Guide)
Description
We set sail aboard our stunning NEW 2019 BOAT, cruising along the breathtaking coastline of the Cap de Creus Nature Park, bound for the enchanting town of Cadaqués. Once we arrive, we take a leisurely 1.5 to 2-hour stop, giving you the perfect opportunity to wander and soak in the charm of this incredibly picturesque fishing village. Among all the idyllic towns and villages that dot the Costa Brava, Cadaqués shines with a rare blend of uniqueness and authenticity. Nestled on the eastern edge of the Cap de Creus Peninsula, it's often called the ‘pearl’ of the Costa Brava. With a history that stretches back thousands of years, dating back to the time of the Iberians, Cadaqués’ name is believed to have evolved from ‘Cap de Quers’ (cape of rocks), a nod to the rugged, rocky landscape that surrounds it. Famed for its artistic allure, Cadaqués has long been a muse for painters and creatives—most famously, Salvador Dalí, who found

Itinerary
This village seem to have stopped on the time, keeping the mediterranean esthetic of traditional white houses with some colourfull splashing provided by the characteristic Catalan Art Noveau buildings as the Blue House or Serinyana’s House, the Colom Castle, The Pont House or The Rahola’s House. Don’t miss the beautifull church of Santa Maria de Cadaqués, that was builded between the XVI and the XVII centuries and has a baroque altarpiece of 76 feet hight.

The boat and boat trip was fine. We only found the time in Rosas very short. And for this price it would have been nice to add a drink and/or sandwich. I really didn't think it was worth this price!
A unique and wonderful experience, a beautiful journey, with a magnificent and wonderful crew, attentive, pleasant, friendly and without a doubt very professional, especially one of the crew members who was especially attentive and mindful of all the passengers with excellent treatment and made it very enjoyable and fun. Without a doubt we will repeat, I recommend living this experience on this boat
Cadaques is magnificent, it's a must-see. The crossing is not cheap, it's just a shuttle. The staff is not really pleasant; the "hola" must be optional... unlike the "adios" with the little bell for the tip ...
The entire crew and ticket office staff were very nice, especially Camelia (ticket office) and the captain of the boat. The excursion is a bit rushed but serves to see Cadaqués and take some nice photos.
Originally we booked with Tripadvisor for a day in a scheduled tour that was a 'free day.' When the tour operator changed the date, Tripadvisor was totally ready to help make the date change with Eis Blaus de Roses, the boat tour operator. A big plus! We may have been able to save a little by buying the tickets right from Eis Blaus de Roses athlete Santa Margarita location, but not knowing how many seats would be available for eight persons could present a problem with how many were on the boat. We really enjoyed to ride, the weather was warm and the seas flat ~ most enjoyable! Being early in the queue we were able to find seats on the upstairs level in the front which we hoped would provide the best views (the left side is best on the outbound direction). Unfortunately, there were four adult women that stood for the whole time along the rail right in front of us taking 'selfies' the whole time pretty much blocking what we were hoping to see and enjoy. It's a shame that people are allowed to remain there throughout the ride and preventing others from enjoying the space for photo taking. The ride was about 45 minutes each way and about an hour and a half in Cadaques which wasn't really long enough to walk around the small village to enjoy its ambiance. The 'audio guide' was a narration over the ship's loudspeakers throughout the ride in more than one language. It was a little difficult to hear but what we could hear was interesting and provided an understanding of the history of the area. If you have a chance and the weather is good, by all means take the tour ~ but take it with this particular operation (their boats are newer!)
The staff was wonderful! Trip was exactly as described. It was just the right amount of time. We really enjoyed getting an up close view of the of a cave! Really cool!
Welcome more neat and kind when booking at the chalet than during the crossing. Obligation to scan QRcode to get visit info! Seniors didn't have cell phones! Tourist information recorded as before was more convenient for tourists! The €25 service therefore only includes transport as merchandise.....damage of the recorded tourist information does not cost more! In all and everything you will only stay an hour in Cadaqués and not 1h30.

Cher client, Merci d'avoir partagé votre commentaire. Nous sommes désolés que vous n'ayez pas pu accéder aux audioguides durant votre traversée. À bord du bateau, nous disposons d'affiches avec des QR codes permettant d'accéder aux audioguides via votre téléphone mobile, et le système fonctionne correctement. Au début de l’activité, nous avons informé les passagers par mégaphone de cette option, mais nous comprenons que cela n'ait pas été suffisamment clair. Pour cela, nous vous communiquons le lien direct vers les audioguides, que vous pouvez consulter à tout moment : https://elsblausderoses.com/eli9512648210/ Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau et que vous pourrez pleinement profiter de l'expérience, y compris des audioguides. Cordialement,
Small port town with charm killed by mass tourism where all the commercial mufleries have become the raison d'être of all those who trade their housing, their cafes, their restaurants, their shops etc .. in an atmosphere of scams and systemic sufficiency.
Bonjour, Nous sommes sincèrement désolés de lire votre commentaire et surtout que votre expérience n’ait pas été à la hauteur de vos attentes. Nous comprenons que la forte affluence touristique puisse parfois altérer la perception d’un lieu, mais nous tenons à préciser que notre équipe met tout en œuvre pour offrir un service honnête, respectueux et de qualité à chaque client. L’idée que notre activité puisse être perçue comme opportuniste ou dénuée de considération est très éloignée de nos valeurs. Concernant votre tour en bateau, nous regrettons d’autant plus que vous ne mentionniez pas d’éléments précis liés à la prestation elle-même. Cela nous aurait permis de mieux comprendre ce qui n’a pas répondu à vos attentes et d’y apporter des améliorations concrètes. Nous espérons malgré tout que vous garderez de meilleurs souvenirs d’autres aspects de votre séjour. Cordialement, L’équipe
Beautiful mini-excusion from Roses to Cadaques... the eyes are not big enough to admire the wonders of nature all along..and what about Cadaques? Simply a fabulous little gem where time stands still... Really an excursion to do all the more with a pleasant crew....
