The Mediterranean looks completely different from a paddle. Just 40 minutes from Barcelona, the Garraf Natural Park coastline hides cliffs, coves and clean waters that can only be discovered from the sea.
RocRoi's open kayaks give you the freedom to explore that coastline at your own pace. An experience open to everyone: families with children from age 6, couples and groups who want more than sand and sun.
- From age 6 with an adult, no prior experience needed
- Stable, self-draining kayaks
- Full nautical base: changing rooms, showers and lockers

The kayak hire experience in Vilanova i la Geltrú
The session begins at the RocRoi nautical base on Ribes Roges beach. Before entering the water, the team checks the wind and sea conditions and advises you on the best route for the day. The open kayaks (sit-on-top) by RTM and RPI are self-draining, stable and easy to handle: a few basic pointers and you will be paddling confidently, moving away from the swimming area and into a coastline that changes character with every stroke.
In a first hour you discover what the coast looks like from the sea: the Pasífae sculpture — three tonnes of copper gazing at the horizon from the breakwater — becomes your first landmark. You round the breakwater and catch a glimpse of the Cubelles shoreline. With two hours, and if conditions allow, you can reach the rocky formations of Punta Grossa, where the Garraf Natural Park cliffs drop straight into the Mediterranean.
Back at the base, well-equipped changing rooms and showers are waiting to close the experience as comfortably as possible. Nothing to sort out, nothing to improvise.
Included in the price
What the experience feels like
Families: a few hours on the water where the little ones set the pace and the adults rediscover the joy of exploring. The stability of the open kayak and supervision from the base give everyone peace of mind.
Couples: paddling together, discovering stretches of coastline only visible from the sea and sharing the unique perspective of the Pasífae sculpture from the water. An experience unlike anything you have done before.
Groups of friends: total freedom to explore the coastline at your own pace, in single or double kayaks as you prefer. Changing rooms and showers waiting when you get back to round off the day without any rush.

FAQs
How far can I go in 2 hours of kayaking?
Two hours is enough to leave the swimming area of Ribes Roges beach and explore the coastline at a relaxed pace: reach the Pasífae sculpture, round the breakwater and catch a view of Cubelles. A unique perspective on Vilanova that simply cannot be achieved from land.
Do I need prior experience for the 2-hour hire?
It is not required. The open kayak is very stable and easy to handle. For the 2-hour hire we recommend a basic level of fitness to enjoy the paddling. Before you set off, the RocRoi team gives you the basic instructions so you can paddle efficiently and safely from the very first minute.
What does the kayak hire price include?
The price includes the full technical kit: self-draining kayak (single or double), double-bladed paddle and certified buoyancy aid. You also have access to the changing rooms, showers and lockers at the RocRoi nautical base.
Will I get wet during the kayak hire?
Yes. As an open (sit-on-top) kayak, splashes from paddling are to be expected. We recommend wearing a swimsuit or technical clothing that can get wet. The changing rooms and showers at the base mean you can get changed comfortably when you finish.
Is it safe to paddle alone for 2 hours along the coast?
Absolutely. Before you set off, the RocRoi team analyses wind and sea conditions to point you towards the best route of the day. During the hire you will paddle in a monitored coastal area, and we have a support vessel on standby for any unexpected situation.
