Tossa de Mar Half-Day Tour

We understand that travel plans can change and that you may need to cancel your booking. We do require however a full 24 hours advance notice in order to be able to cancel a tour and offer a full refund. This is with the exception of private group tours, which must be cancelled 7 days in advance for a full refund. Cancellations made within less than 24 hours of the tours scheduled departure are non-refundable although it may be possible to reschedule your booking for another day, depending on availability.

We do not usually cancel tours due to overcast/grey skies, but we do cancel trips if there is a forecast for steady rain, powerful wind, thunderstorms. In the case of cancellation due to bad weather, we will send a notification email and give you the choice of either rescheduling (depending on availability) or receiving a full refund. We will do this as soon as we know the tour will be cancelled, however, we may not be able to make this descición until the same morning of the tour.

Where do the tours start and when should I arrive?
All of our tours meet at Boheme cafe (Map and directions provided with your booking confirmation). Please arrive 10 minutes before your tour is scheduled to begin.

How many people will there be per group?
Each tour will take up to a maximum of 8 people.

What if I am unable to swim, can I do this?
You can still join us on the hiking part of the tour, however, we are guides not swimming instructors so if you cannot swim, you may have to sit the snorkeling part out.

Do I need to be an experienced snorkeller/hiker?
Not necessarily! We’ve had many different client profiles on the tour, ranging from children to 80-year-old first-timers who’ve joined us and have had a great time! Just keep in mind the walking distance is around 5Km and sometimes with no shade.

Where do we keep our stuff during the activity?
Please only bring with you essentials needed for the activity. We will be taking everything with us, so travel light. We will have a secure dry bag for your valuables when we’re on the water.

What should I wear?
Wear comfortable walking shoes / strapped sandals or sneakers. Dress appropriately for the season. Feel free to bring sun protection such as hats and glasses etc. If you are planning on swimming, come with your swim wear already under your clothes.

What should I bring?

• Drinking water, good footwear that you don’t mind getting wet. Water shoes work great.
• Sun protection (Hat, glasses and sun cream).
• Anything else such as a waterproof camera and snacks is OK.

Where are we going and how will we get there?
We will take a private minivan up the coast towards France. It’s about 1 hour and 15 minutes through the Catalonian valleys. We will start in Sa Conca and finish in Sant Feliu de Guixols.

How fast do you walk? Will I be able to keep up? Will I get bored moving too slowly?
Our pace depends on the group, but we generally take our time. We should have plenty of time to reach our destination so we’ll keep things moving, but of course won’t leave anyone behind!

Will we go into caves?
If we have time and the conditions are great we will, but it’s not a priority on this tour, you can check out our Kayaking and Snorkeling tour which does include caves.

Will I get wet?
That’s up to you! Only if you decide to jump in the sea and/or it rains of course! It’s all part of the fun. However, the degree to which you get wet depends on the day, and snorkeling is not compulsory, you can chill out on land while the rest explore.

Can I just come along for the hiking not snorkeling?
Yes, of course. If you don’t fancy snorkeling, you can stay on land, sunbathe on the rocks, relax or explore the area.

Can I just come along for the snorkeling, not the hiking?
No, to get to the snorkelling spots we need to hike first ;). This is mainly a walking / hiking tour! that includes some snorkeling / swimming.

Will I see any wildlife?
Yes, we will hopefully see lots of animals in their natural habitat. Of course, this depends on the sea conditions of the day. However, we hope to see Octopus, Moray Eels, Cormorants and lots of other kinds of fish and birds.

Is the sea cold?
This tour only runs all year round, however, we recommend only snorkeling during the summer months. During the winter, we will concentrate more on exploring the area.

What can I bring on the tour?
We recommend bringing as little as possible. Feel free to bring a waterproof camera and a bottle of water. If you have any medication, diabetic snacks etc., then we can provide a waterproof bag.

Who will be taking me on the tour?
One of our experienced and highly trained guides will lead you and your group on the tour. Each guide has extensive knowledge of the area and is trained in water safety and first aid.

I’m already in Costa Brava, can I meet you directly there?
Lucky you, and yes. Just email us before booking and we will send you the address, parking info and itinerary. We will also be able to give you a discount if you ask for a discount code before booking.

Do you have weight , size or age limits?
Unfortunately yes. Minimum of 12 years old or 135cm tall.

What’s the snorkeling like in Costa Brava?
Well, don’t expect the Mediterranean to be like the great barrier reef or the red sea. However, it can be very rewarding playing with an octopus and getting up close to a Moray Eel. Every day is different, and we sometimes get some unexpected visitors such as Stingrays.

Where is your office in Barcelona?
We are an office-less company, that way we keep our overheads low and can pass these savings onto you.

Do I need to tip my guide?
Tips are never expected but always appreciated 😉 No, but seriously this depends on you and whether you feel comfortable with tipping and feel that it has been earned!
