With this kayak excursion we will be able to observe the beauty of the coves, caves, channels, cliffs, islands and all the corners that the bay of Sant Pol – S’Agaró hides in Sant Feliu de Guíxols. In addition, through the tour, the instructor will explain the history, nature and curiosities of the coastal place so that you can take an even more complete experience.
As a complement to the activity, we’ll stop the kayaks in a protected cove or bay to jump into the water with our mask and snorkel equipment to do some snorkelling. We will refresh ourselves while we enjoy observing the marine flora and fauna through the crystal clear blue and emerald green waters that this area offers you. We’ll be able to observe the local fish, as well as sea urchins, starfish and with a little luck, an octopus.
