The difference from a guided tour is exactly this: a tour takes you to see scenery, the course turns you into a paddler. By the end you will have a genuine technical foundation to take to the Costa Brava sea independently — or to join more challenging activities with full confidence.
There is an enormous difference between being a passenger in an open kayak and actually knowing what you are doing in a closed sea kayak.
- Beginner level: no prior experience required, from age 12 with an adult
- Paddling technique, turning manoeuvres, safety and capsize recovery in 3 hours

What the experience feels like
Complete beginners: the starting point is zero. The instructor builds from the fundamentals and the pace is set by the group’s level, not the guide’s itinerary.
Families: from age 12 with an adult. A way to learn something genuinely technical together, with the Mediterranean Sea as a backdrop.
Those who want more than a tourist route: if you have already done guided tours and want to learn to take to the sea on your own, this course is the logical next step.

FAQs
What level of technique will I reach by the end of the course?
You will learn from efficient paddling technique (forward stroke and reverse) through to turning manoeuvres and directional control. The goal is to give you the ability to handle a sea kayak with genuine autonomy on the water.
Does the course include safety and rescue training?
Yes. Unlike a recreational tour, this practical course dedicates specific time to active safety: how to re-enter the kayak after a capsize and how to assist a fellow paddler in the water.
What is the difference between this course and a guided tour?
A tour focuses on the scenery. The course focuses on your technical skill. While a guided tour leads the group from A to B, in the course we practise kayak edging, bracing and reading currents along the Palamós coastline — which means you improve far more quickly than you would simply paddling on your own.
Do I need to bring any specific kit?
No. RocRoi provides all professional-grade equipment: a training sea kayak, a technical paddle fitted to your height and everything else you need to learn the fundamentals of sea kayaking.
