Kayaking in Lloret de Mar and Tossa de Mar
If there is a fun, active, and refreshing way to enjoy the Mediterranean with friends, it is undoubtedly kayaking. On Costa Brava, these activities become a real marine adventure, and two of the best places to experience it are Lloret de Mar and Tossa de Mar. Equipped with goggles, a snorkel, and a shared kayak, visitors can explore cliffs, discover secret coves, and venture into caves where the water glows an unreal shade of blue.
In Lloret de Mar, the routes skirt stretches of rugged coastline dotted with small coves and venture into one of the most characteristic areas of the coastline, the Cova de les Falzies. Guided kayak tours allow groups to paddle together, share laughter, and discover places accessible only from the sea.
A little further north, Tossa de Mar elevates the experience with its iconic medieval castle dominating the coastline. From Mar Menuda beach and other notable spots, kayak routes set off that are perfect for exploring the coast at your own pace. You can discover places such as Ses Silletes, Cala Sot d’en Boada, Es Palomar, and Cala Pola.
Introductory Diving in the Montgrí Natural Park
If your group of friends wants to try something new, exciting, and absolutely unforgettable, introductory diving in the Montgrí Natural Park is the perfect plan.
This activity allows you to discover the underwater world for the first time in complete safety, accompanied by certified instructors and in one of the most spectacular marine ecosystems in the western Mediterranean: the Medes Islands.
Located off the coast of L’Estartit, the Medes Islands are a small protected archipelago, famous for its incredible marine biodiversity. The experience begins with a brief explanation on land and practice in shallow water, before a guided dive just a few meters deep.

The circuit has a technical and dynamic track, with demanding curves and acceleration straights, guaranteeing an intense and exciting experience.
In the Footsteps of Dalí on Costa Brava
Exploring Costa Brava with friends also means immersing yourself in the surreal universe of Salvador Dalí, one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. His life and work are deeply linked to this region, and visiting the places that marked his artistic career is as inspiring as it is entertaining.
The Dalí triangle begins in Figueres, home to the imposing Dalí Theatre-Museum; continues in Portlligat, where the Salvador Dalí House-Museum is located; and culminates in Púbol Castle, a gift to his muse Gala.
Flavours to Share: The Cuisine of Costa Brava
Getting together with friends around a good table is one of the best ways to savor the essence of Costa Brava. Don’t miss the coastal taverns and beach bars, where quality tapas are served with sea views, or restaurants that reinterpret tradition with creativity.
In addition, towns such as Tossa de Mar invite you to enjoy the Mediterranean atmosphere with a glass of DO Empordà wine in hand. When shared with friends, the local cuisine becomes the perfect excuse to toast, laugh, and continue exploring the charms of Costa Brava.
