Meet near Port Olímpic for a 90-minute small-group paddleboarding session at sunrise or sunset.

“Fantastic experience, we paid for our daughters to do this on our last morning totally worth the money they loved every minute. The only thing we didn’t get a video (not a big issue) photos were beautiful although again maybe with the sunset behind them would have been a lovely memorabilia (recommendation not a big issue) all in all the gentleman that took them out was fantastic and so friendly we would definitely do it again.”
