Sea Kayaking
A sea kayak is a kayak developed for the sport of paddling on the open sea. Sea kayaks come in a wide range of materials, designs and sizes. Unlike the open kayak, the sea kayak has a covered deck. The main difference between both kayaks is that when tipping over, the sea kayak needs to be emptied whereas the open kayak does not. The sea kayak has handles on the bow and the stern as well as a lifeline that works as a fall prevention system. Previous kayaking experience is required for this activity.

Itinerary
You can check out how to get to our Vilanova i la Geltrú activity centre and arrival time on the booking confirmation. However, you can also find all this information on our website. Please head to our office with your booking confirmation. The person at the reception desk will confirm your booking and will give you the necessary instructions before you start the activity. Our activity centre is large, so we kindly ask you to pay attention to the guidelines that our office members and instructors shall give you at any time. We recommend that you leave all unnecessary belongings in your vehicle. You may also leave them in our activity centre. An instructor will be waiting for you in Ribes Roges beach base with all your equipment. If you head towards Tarragona, we will find La Pasífae and the beach of Ribes Roges, then arriving at the beach of Adarró, the beach of the Republic, the Racó de Santa Llúcia and the Punta de Sant Gervasi. After this, in the limit of Vilanova i Cubelles we will find the Long Beach of Cubelles. It is an ideal route to enjoy the sandy beaches of the Garraf coast, where you can disembark with caution for bathers and cool off in the most ideal place for you. The beaches have a simple approach with different options depending on where the waves and wind of that day come from so you can choose the one that protects you the most. It is an area frequented by other sailors and beach users with whom you can interact with the freshness of the Mediterranean character. We do not recommend the route to Barcelona if you do not rent more than 2 hours for the distance. First we will find the Port of Vilanova and then the Platja del Far, before reaching the coves of Sitges. This is a rocky area, full of small coves with some reminiscence of the Costa Brava. Before reaching the Platja del Far, which is where the rocky area begins, you must go around the breakwater of the port of Vilanova, which will take you between 20 and 40 minutes, depending on the type of boat and pace that move forward. Once you have saved the breakwater, you have to head to the rocky shores, crossing the Platja del Far in about 15 or 20 minutes. Finally you will be sailing between the majestic cliffs of the Colls-Miralpeix. Touring this incredible natural space will take you sailing with the tranquility it deserves for about 1 hour, stopping cautiously on any of the rocky coves, visiting the occasional sea cave and taking interesting rock steps. We find it from the beach of the ''Home Mort'', at the tip of the Desrocada, the Cave of the Giants and even a Xiringuito in summer. You can choose the best place to disembark, protecting yourself from the waves and wind that may be there, depending on your direction. When you return, you can do so again along the coast or by climbing a straight line towards the green lighthouse of Vilanova, which you will not lose sight of at any time, and thus achieve a more agile return. Once the activity is finished, you will be able to use our fully equipped changing rooms.Included in the price
