What the experience feels like
Families: Double kayaks are perfect for children from age 4. The sea in front of Platja del Castell, sheltered by the headlands, is particularly suitable for families with young children. Discovering the first coves from the water is one of those moments children do not forget.
Couples: Three or four hours with no itinerary or organised group on one of the least crowded stretches of the Costa Brava. The stop at Cala Estreta or the Banyera de la Russa is the swim that makes the trip worthwhile.
Groups of friends: No guide setting the pace and no mandatory stops — the group decides where to go. Cala Estreta has room for a swim and, weather permitting, Cap Roig closes the route with a view that is not easily forgotten.
