Lloret de Mar: Catamaran Sailing Experience with BBQ

1. Lloret de Mar: Catamaran Sailing Experience with BBQ

Enjoy the ultimate day of fun in the sun with a sailing trip along the Costa Brava. Climb aboard a beautiful catamaran in Lloret de Mar and set sail. Lie in the big net bow area and feel the sensation of floating over the sea while listening to music and having a drink.   After 1 hour of sailing past the stunning landscape of cliffs, caves, secluded beaches and fishing villages, the boat will stop at a quiet spot. Swim in a small inlet, play on the giant floating mattress, or go snorkeling in the beautiful waters. Top off the experience with complimentary drinks including beer, sangria, soft drinks, and water. Return to Lloret de Mar with the music turned up, as you soak in the atmosphere.

Costa Brava: Sea Caves Kayaking and Snorkeling Tour

2. Costa Brava: Sea Caves Kayaking and Snorkeling Tour

Meet your small group at the Sant Pol Sailing & Kayaking School right by the beach and get ready for the activity. After a short introduction and a technical and safety briefing, you'll have time to get kitted out before taking to the waters. Explore secluded beaches and rocky caves and clifts by kayak. During the tour, your instructor will explain the history, nature, and curiosities of this coastal place so that you can take an even more complete experience. As a complement to the activity, stop the kayaks in a protected cove or bay to jump into the water with a mask and snorkel equipment to do some snorkeling. Refresh yourself while you enjoy observing the marine nature through the crystal clear blue and emerald green waters. Observe the local fish, as well as sea urchins, starfish, and with a little luck, an octopus. Re-energized, take the opportunity to explore the rugged cliffs and the coastline at your own pace. Or, if you're feeling laid-back, relax and sunbathe on the white sand beach.

Tossa de Mar: PADI Discovery Scuba Diving

3. Tossa de Mar: PADI Discovery Scuba Diving

The "try dive" is an activity recommended for beginners in scuba. The entire experience lasts three hours, the first 35 minutes of which will consist of a briefing on how the equipment works, how to communicate underwater using hand signals, and how the tour will go. Afterwards, get kitted out in the provided wetsuit and boots in the changing room. Once you are ready, hop in the van for just five minutes and prepare for the fun to start. Because the dive site is directly connected with the beach, you'll be enjoying a shore dive off Mar Menuda Beach.  When you get to the water, your guide will break up the activity step by step, and you'll have plenty of time to get used to each one at your own pace. Starting from the beach makes everything easier, especially for your ears as you'll have more time to get used to the pressure. Stay under the water for about an hour — this, of course, depends on you, because the more nervous you are, the faster you breathe, and the quicker you'll go through the air in your tank. During the dive, your guides will snap some photos/videos, so you will have a souvenir from the activity.
