Our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 children aged 9, 11 and 13) had the most wonderful day with Stepan on the Costa Brava. He was patient, kind and engaging with the children and we loved every moment. The walk along the coast was not only beautiful but educational, the kayaking around the stunning cliffs was magical and the rock jumping was the cherry on top. Stepan ensured our safety and found the right height for everyone, including our youngest daughters who were quite nervous. We all loved our day and would highly recommend this tour.

Stephan and Pheebus (sp?) were amazing! They were excellent guides, engaging with our teen boys. Flexible to the wants of our day. Both boys don’t generally enjoy hiking but they loved this experience. Highly recommend!Favorite part of our trip

We spent 2 days with Stepan. He did a really good job! In preparation for the tours he contacted us for each information we needed. So we could plan 2 different hiking tours together and Stepan was considering the wishes we had. One hiking tour to Montserrat and one at the coast from LLoret de Mar to Tossa with beautiful landscape. His pick up with the car was on time. He s a very good and save driver. He cared about everybody and the hiking tours we did were really nice. Stepan took care about us and also for our safety. We enjoyed the days and the time we spent with Stepan. He is a really good guide and very kind. If we will come back to Barcelona we would book further tours with Stepan again. We are really thankful for these 2 really beautiful days!Hiking with one of the best tour guides!

Our adventure with Stepan along the shimmering shores of Costa Brava was nothing short of spectacular. 👍🌊🛶 Right from the (on-time) beginning, his enthusiasm and knowledge of the area set the tone for what turned out to be a remarkable day. The kayaking experience was a blend of serenity and thrill, gliding across the Mediterranean with its azure beauty surrounding us. One of the highlights was the cliff jumping – exhilarating and safe under Stepan's expert guidance. Swimming in the Mediterranean felt like a dream. Throughout the journey, Stepan's knowledge and humor kept our spirits high, making the whole experience even more memorable. Oh… and he takes great photos too 📸 I wholeheartedly recommend Stepan's kayaking tour for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the authentic charm of Costa Brava, Spain. Whether you're an adrenaline junkie or just looking for a peaceful retreat by the sea, Stepan's tour offers the best of both worlds. A big thumbs up! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Adventures Beyond The Shore with Stepan

We travelled to Barcelona for the first time and wanted something different to do than only in the city. We booked both the Costa Brava Kayak and Pyrenees Hike for separate days. Stephen was an amazing host (friendly, funny, caring) and very knowledgeable about the areas. He graciously took pictures for us and was patient the whole time. He even pulled out pastries and biscuits during breaks on the Pyrenees Hike. These day trips are a highlight of our overall trip and will be talked about for a long time. Get out the city for a little while and take any tour with Stepan - it is highly recommended!. In fact, we had such a great time with him, I hope to one day be able to help Stepan experience adventures in my part of the world.Fantastic adventures

My 15 year old daughter and I wanted to spend our last day in Barcelona on the coast. We booked with Stepan to go kayaking and cliff jumping (optional jumping but we participated!) and the day was incredible. First, the views are spectacular as you start uphill and take a nice stroll down hill while enjoying the views and the history - Stepan makes plenty of stops along the way down to talk all about Costa Brava. We checked in for kayaking, did a short little stretch and exercise to warm up our arms, and we were off! Stepan was such a wonderful teacher - we've been on many kayaking trips before and this was the first time we actually got real instruction that was easy to digest and implement! We stopped to swim in the beautiful and refreshing Mediterranean Sea and then we participated in 3 different jumps - a small jump, a medium jump and an adventurous jump - none of the jumps were scary and all were perfect for my teenage daughter and me! We will definitely do this trip again with my hubby and son when we are all back in Spain. Stepan was amazing! Thank you, Stepan for the great pictures and memories!What a day!!

i booked for five with stepan.. he accommodated for our transportation and took us all the way out to costa brava, making conversation along the way and even keeping cool through a major sick episode 😩😩 his knowledge throughout our cliff hikes was unparalleled—he even broke open some old pinecones to let us try some pine nuts! if you’re outdoorsy or have sea lovers in the fam, this is for sure the place to be. dík! gracias! thank you!más allá de lo fenomenal !!

Loved the Kayaking and Lagoon Dipping tour! We travelled to barcelona for the first time and wanted something different to do than only in the city. Costa Brava is amazing. Overall amazing trip. The driver and guide, Stephan, is very funny, such an awesome guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and and followed COVID safety precautions. We were in a small group of 6 individuals so we could enjoy and also ask questions and recommendations for good foodspot and other activities in Barcelona easily! I would definitely recommend!! Rate this tour 10/10.Loved the Kayaking + Lagoon Dipping tour!
