11.Costa Brava – Kayaking and Snorkeling “Sea Caves” Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 567 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $41

Kayak Costa Brava sea caves near S'Agaró, snorkel in a sheltered cove, and enjoy a friendly two-hour tour for all swimming abilities.

“This is a fun, short trip. The guides are safety-oriented and helpful. This area is very crowded, so be aware that there will be a lot if other people in the water - kayaks, swimmers, motor boats, and paddle boarders. The snorkeling was in any area without many fish, but we saw two starfish and two octopuses, which we were told was rare. For the low cost, it was definitely worth it to get out on the water. It was also really nice that I could reserve as a solo traveler and I got a single kayak.”
