Join guide Fuivos and a small group for a three-hour sea-kayaking outing from Club Natació Barcelona. Paddle in sit-on-top double kayaks toward Olympic Port, pause for a possible swim, then walk to a local Petit Bar for shared tapas and a drink.

The skyline kayaking gave me the opportunity to see Barceloneta from a different perspective where I could move in the sea, see unique birds from a close distance and have fun! It gives you freedom, confidence and joy! Appreciation to the guides that create a safe space, with humor and positive vibes! Thank you!”
