Heading north to Costa Brava by private air-conditioned van, we will arrive in the heart of La Costa Brava, surrounded by protected beautiful pine-forested sea cliffs. Parts of the 'Camí Ronda' go through narrow paths adapted for trekkers and walkers, which ascends and descends several times. On some occasions we also walk through sea promenades and beaches, natural and manmade stairs and flat paved paths. On our side we will be having stunning views of the Costa Brava Mediterranean sea, with its unique turquoise clear waters. We will go through pine forests and a protected coastal area which includes the marine reserve, perfect for refreshing ourselves with a snorkeling, swimming and of course a couple of safe, not too high cliff jumps (ask more about these if you need) This trail is easy and fun for beginners, however, you still need to be able to walk up rugged sloped paths. Upon reaching our final stop, we'll sit down together in a local restaurant for a menu del dia. We have several routes in La Costa Brava, especially designed so that you can make the most of the charms of the Costa Brava but trying to adapt to most levels. Thus to say, it's not a fullon hiking day. This is also not a cliff diving or snorkeling tour per say, they are just 2 refreshing and adventurous small parts of this tour.

Rodrigo was an excellent guide and driver. The trip itself to the villages took place according to the described activities. Rupit was by far the most beautiful village among them, also due to the very good family-owned restaurants there.

This tour was fantastic. There were only three of us a pretty small group. Our guide is too notch. Beautiful villages very peaceful and picturesque.

It was awsome, my instructor Christian was really helpful & instructed me thoroughly throughout the activity. Had a great first diving experience.

Really fun trip out and did more kayaking than was expected. Nice to stop off at beaches too.

Really nice experience. Well-organized also for our kids (10 & 12 y/o) totally recommended
