Four hours is what separates the urban beach from the coves that no road reaches. From Ribes Roges, on an open kayak, the Parc del Garraf coastline opens towards Els Colls-Miralpeix and the Sitges cliffs.
You choose the craft — individual or double — and the pace. RocRoi provides the RTM and RPI kayaks, the nautical base and the sea-condition advice; the rest is up to you.
- From age 6 with a companion, no prior experience needed
- Individual or double kayak, both self-bailing
- Nautical base with changing rooms, showers and lockers

What the experience feels like
Families: a half-day sharing a double kayak with the little ones and stopping at the calm coves of Els Colls-Miralpeix to swim away from the urban beach.
Couples: a double open kayak, 4 hours at your own pace and the Garraf coast between Vilanova and Sitges to yourselves. Another way to spend a morning or afternoon together.
Groups of friends: individual kayaks for those who want their own rhythm, doubles for those who prefer to chat. Four hours is enough to reach the sea caves of the Parc del Garraf and get back without stress.

FAQs
How far can I get on a 4-hour kayak trip?
Four hours takes you well beyond the urban beaches. It is the ideal time to paddle to the Els Colls-Miralpeix Natural Space and explore its hard-to-reach-by-land coves, and even push on to the Sitges coast if conditions allow. Enough time to stop for a swim, have something to eat and return without rushing.
What level of fitness is needed to hire a kayak for 4 hours?
You do not need to be an athlete, but normal fitness and being used to physical activity helps. The open kayak (RTM or RPI) is light and very stable, and with 4 hours available you can pace yourself: stop at coves, rest, swim and resume paddling.
Can I choose between individual and double kayak?
Yes. You choose the craft when booking: individual open kayak for those who want their own rhythm, or double for couples, families with children from age 6, or anyone who prefers to share the effort. Both are self-bailing and designed for 4 comfortable hours on the water.
Can I bring food and personal items in the kayak?
Highly recommended. For 4 hours at sea it is worth bringing water and a snack. At the RocRoi Vilanova base you can hire or buy dry bags to protect your phone, camera and food from splashes and make the most of cove stops without worrying.
Is it safe to paddle for 4 hours along the Garraf coast?
Yes. Before departure, the team checks the weather forecast and advises you on the best areas depending on wind and currents. You will be paddling along a highly visible and well-travelled coastline, with the logistical support of the RocRoi nautical base at Ribes Roges for any unexpected situation.
