What the experience feels like
Families: Double and triple kayaks mean children from age 4 can join from the very first moment. The sea in front of Platja del Castell, sheltered by the headlands, is especially calm for young children. Reaching Cala Estreta from the water is the memory of the summer.
Couples: An hour or two of self-guided kayaking in one of the least crowded corners of the Costa Brava. No itinerary, no group. Just the Palamós coastline and a swim stop at a roadless cove.
Groups of friends: Self-guided kayaking is perfect when the group has mixed levels. No guide setting the pace — everyone paddles at their own speed and the group decides where to go. Cala Estreta has room and water for everyone.
