Get Active Tossa · Carrer Portal 23, Tossa de Mar
A self-guided day from Tossa de Mar: you walk the coastal path to Santa Maria de Llorell beach on a GPS track, then take a kayak or a SUP out for 2 hours with a mask and snorkel. Pick it if you like your own pace and want the coast from the cliff top and from the water in one day.
The day starts at the Get Active shop on Carrer Portal 23 in Tossa de Mar, where you get a map, the GPS route for your phone and a full briefing (it can also be done by phone). Then you walk to Santa Maria de Llorell beach, on one of two routes: a scenic one that suits most people, 2.6 miles and about 1 hour 15 minutes, or the real Camí de Ronda past cliffs and coves, 3.3 miles and about 2 hours. There is no guide on the walk. You start when you like, stop at the viewpoints, swim in a cove on the way.
At the beach the team lends you a beach umbrella, and lunch is yours to sort: bring a picnic or use the beach bar. Then the water. You rent a kayak, single or double, or a SUP for 2 hours, with paddles, approved life jackets and a mask and snorkel, and the team suggests the best route for the sea that day. The rental runs outside the guided tour hours, so there are fewer boats about. Sea caves, cliffs and very clear water are the draw on this quiet stretch of coast.
You do not walk back. The team brings you from Santa Maria de Llorell to the Tossa de Mar bus station, and liability and accident insurance are included. Food and drinks are not. Bring sunglasses, a hat, swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, water, a daypack and proper sports shoes, since the beach is reached on foot. It is not suitable for pregnant women, non-swimmers, or people with back, heart or mobility problems. Sea caves, arches and swim stops depend on the sea state on the day, and the operator can change the route or cancel in wind.

★★★★★The activity was exactly as described. We chose the most difficult route, and it lives up to its name! [...] The scenery is magnificent, with several sections along the cliffs offering incredible vantage points. [...] Upon arrival, everything went perfectly. The activity included a parasol as well as a mask and snorkel for each person. I took a paddle board while my partner took a kayak, which allowed us to freely explore the small coves. Finally, we were taken back to Tossa de Mar around 5:00 PM as planned. A wonderful day.
★★★★★The camino was really great. It was quite challenging (we chose the more difficult of the two) [...] The experience and the viewpoints were really worth it, and then it was wonderful to go kayaking. Definitely worth it!
