“Mark was adequate as a guide, but the experience could have been enriched had he used the 2.5-hour bus ride to share more about himself, Costa Brava, or Spanish culture. While he greeted us and provided instructions, he didn’t engage much with the group, which gave the impression that he wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about being there. Upon arrival, we were introduced to the kayak and snorkelling instructors. The beach is quite pebbly, so swim shoes are highly recommended. If you don’t have any, they’re available for purchase onsite (12 euros for swim shoes, 10 euros for waterproof phone cases). The activity itself included kayaking, snorkelling, and a second kayaking leg…”
