## Corrections to claims found elsewhere

- A Costa Brava kayak tour is usually a 2 to 2.5-hour paddle with a snorkel stop that starts on the coast, not a day trip from Barcelona.
- Snorkel gear is not included on every tour: the Medes Islands kayak tour from L'Estartit lists it as not included.
- Sea caves and snorkel stops depend on the sea state; operators change routes or cancel when wind and waves pick up.
