    Continue the tour to l’Estartit, the principal port and one of the diving destinations of Costa Brava. We invite you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Costa Brava in a 1.5-hour panoramic boat ride with underwater vision. The boat takes you to the Medes Islands, located along the Montgrí coast with more than 10 km of cliffs, small coves, and caves and the fortified mansions that move us to a time where they lived with the fear of attacks by pirates.
