Which places will we visit on the route from Platja del Castell?
We will explore the Castell-Cap Roig Protected Natural Area, opposite the Formigues Islands, with a stop at La Foradada, a rock formation carved through by the sea. It is one of the best-preserved stretches of coastline on the Costa Brava, with pristine coves inaccessible on foot from land.

Yes, we make use of the crystal-clear water in the most sheltered coves in the area. It is the perfect moment to observe the posidonia and marine life of the Costa Brava from the water.
What is the difference between self-guided hire and this 2h guided tour?
The guided tour adds real value: safety and knowledge of the environment. The local guide knows the winds and currents of the bay, and reveals the hidden corners of the Castell-Cap Roig Natural Area that never appear on any map.
