About this tour
Paddle into Cova dels Rats Penats, a sea cave tucked into Sant Pol's coastline, on this early-morning kayak journey along Spain's Costa Brava. Your guide navigates you through sheltered bays and dramatic rock formations in a stable single kayak, catching the coast at its quietest. Two-and-a-quarter hours of gentle paddling with small groups—no experience needed, just the ability to swim and a willingness to be on the water.

What to expect
You'll be fitted with a life jacket and spray skirt, then given instruction before launching into gentle morning swells. The paddle to the cave takes you past limestone cliffs, hidden coves, and rock formations—each named for the landscape it sits in. Once at Cova dels Rats Penats, you'll have time to explore the cave entrance before paddling back. The closed kayak sits lower in the water than sit-on-top models, making it more efficient and stable. Expect roughly two hours on the water with brief stops to take in the scenery and catch your breath.
