Kayak Center Guíxols · Sant Feliu de Guíxols
Two hours in a stable double sit-on-top from Kayak Center Guíxols, along the cliffs and coves of Sant Feliu de Guíxols, with a swim and snorkel in a sheltered cove. Pick it for a calm first time on the water, children from 7 and a guide who chooses the north or south coast to suit the sea.
Kayak Center Guíxols sits on Passeig Fortim in Sant Feliu de Guíxols, and the listing describes it as a local company with over 30 years at sea. It aims this tour at families, couples and friends with no experience. The boats are stable double sit-on-tops, easy to handle and easy to climb back onto, with singles if needed.
Your instructor starts with clear instructions and safety tips, then picks the north or the south coast for the day, depending on the sea. You paddle along cliffs, coves and spots you can only reach from the water at an easy pace, for about 2 hours, while the guide talks about marine life, geology and the coast. Then a stop in a sheltered cove to swim and snorkel over the rocky seabed: fish, sea urchins, anemones and, with luck, a starfish or an octopus, per the listing. The sea decides the route. Operators move to calmer water or reschedule when the wind is up, so a cave or a snorkel stop is planned, never guaranteed.
Included: the kayak, paddle and life jacket, snorkel gear, a wetsuit in colder weather if you want one, a professional local guide, a rescue motorboat if needed, photos shared afterward, a secure place for your things and insurance. Not included: bottled water. Basic swimming is required and children from 7 to 13 join with an adult. A friendly tip: ask your guide for a lunch spot when you land. One guest followed the restaurant tip and called it a real hit.

★★★★★We had an amazing experience kayaking and snorkeling with Kayak Center Guixols. Our guide, Jaume, was great, really friendly, fun, and did a fantastic job of guiding us throughout the trip. [...] There was plenty of time to snorkel, and we also got to kayak through some beautiful coves with amazing views along the way.
★★★★★A very cool experience. The kayaking + snorkeling excursion is highly recommended. With very beautiful landscapes and a background with lots of fish and even starfish. Our guide, Juan, told us a lot of interesting things about the Sant Feliu coast.
★★★★★A highly recommended activity! The guide, Pablo, is the best! Throughout the activity, he gave us interesting explanations. We also followed his restaurant recommendation at the end of the activity, and it was a real hit.
★★★★★A really great tour, and a friendly guide! Everything was also very family-friendly and easy to do with a school-age child.
