About this tour
An 8-hour coastal trek along Costa Brava's dramatic cliffside paths, combined with snorkelling in secluded Mediterranean coves. You'll walk one of Spain's most scenic stretches of shoreline, spotting limestone formations and marine life, then enter the water to explore underwater terrain. Suits hikers after genuine views without extreme exertion, and anyone keen to snorkel without a separate boat-based tour.

What to expect
You'll start with a pickup and drive to the trailhead in an air-conditioned vehicle. The walking portion follows coastal paths with regular stops to absorb views and learn about local geology and wildlife. You'll descend into coves where snorkelling equipment is provided — the guide will point out marine life and underwater features. The pace is designed for mixed fitness levels, so expect regular breaks rather than a relentless hike. After snorkelling, you'll return via vehicle to your starting point.
The full day spans roughly 8 hours including transport, walking, water time, and a guide-led exploration of both terrain and marine environment. You'll need to bring or purchase lunch and drinks separately.

Good to know
This suits anyone wanting coastal scenery and snorkelling without committing to a full-day boat tour, or hikers wanting a water element included. It's also accessible for families — specialised infant seats are on hand. Bear in mind: the hike involves uneven coastal terrain and some scrambling into coves, so sturdy footwear is essential; the 8 hours is a full day, so factor in travel time to the meeting point; lunch and drinks are not provided, so plan ahead or budget for local cafés; snorkelling ability helps but the guide will support varied swimmers; summer crowds on popular sections are likely.
