Adrenaline and laughter with friends on the beaches of Cambrils

From classic paddle surfing for the more laid-back to banana boating for those who want to end up in the water laughing, Cambrils offers a wide variety of water sports for all tastes.
Want something more intense? Try flyboarding or jet skiing and feel the speed on the Mediterranean. And if you prefer something more collaborative, you can rent a kayak and explore the coast as a team or sign up for a catamaran trip with music and postcard views.
Adventure among the trees, in Cambrils and Salou
If you and your group are into outdoor thrills, Costa Dorada also has plans that will get your adrenaline pumping… and make you scream with excitement!
In places like Jumpland Aventura Ecológica in Cambrils or Bosc Aventura Salou, zip lines, suspension bridges and tree-top circuits provide the perfect setting for a day of team fun.
At Jumpland, you can launch yourself down one of the longest zip lines in Catalonia, with a length of over 140 metres, as well as overcoming challenges at height, climbing walls and trying out the climbing wall. All in a natural setting, with instructors ensuring both safety and fun.
For its part, Bosc Aventura, in the heart of the tourist area of Salou, offers multi-adventure circuits adapted to different levels, ideal for groups of friends who want to compete, laugh and overcome challenges together.

In addition, the park has themed areas such as Mexico, China, the Wild West and Mediterrània, ideal for exploring together and taking thousands of photos.

All in one destination, with options for a day visit or even an overnight stay at the resort.
Aquopolis La Pineda: attractions for all tastes
When the heat is on and you fancy a day of laughter and water fun, Aquopolis Costa Dorada, in La Pineda, is the perfect place to spend a day with friends. This water park is one of the largest in Catalonia and offers an ideal combination of adrenaline, relaxation and entertainment for all tastes.
Among its star attractions are the dizzying slides such as the Kamikaze, the Black Hole and the Hurricane, where screams and laughter are guaranteed. There are also areas for group sharing such as the Boomerang and the Speed Race, where you can compete to see who gets to the water first. And if you prefer something more peaceful, you can relax on the artificial beach, float down the lazy river or enjoy the wave pools.
The best vermouth in Reus
No plan with friends on Costa Dorada is complete without a good vermouth, and if there is one place where this tradition is lived with passion, it is Reus. This city is not only the cradle of Catalan modernism, but also one of the great references for vermouth at a national level.
With its intense, balanced, and nuanced flavour, vermouth is perfect for sharing on a terrace in the historic centre, accompanied by olives, crisps and, of course, good conversation. Many local wineries and vermouth bars also offer tours, tastings, and experiences that combine history, culture and flavour.
In short, Costa Dorada is the perfect setting for an unforgettable summer with friends.
