Overview:
For those of you who are interested in a bit of excitement on your weekend then this is the event for you. You will combine two of our most popular activities, in a superb quad bike trek up into the mountains, followed by blasting racing around in a high powered speed boat along some stunning rocky coastline.
Format:
You will be picked by minibus from the hotel and taken to a stunningly pretty town just north up the coast from Barcelona. The town has an amazing coved beach nestled beneath a picturesque fortress, and this forms the base for your days activities.
There are plenty of excellent beach side restaurants and bars, and a walk round the town in between your events is also well worth the while. After arriving, you will meet your guide for the day, then take part in the two activities outlined as follows:
Speedboat blasting:
Get into Baywatch mode on your weekend by going for a heart pounding ride on a RIB - the very same boat used by the Spanish & English Coast Guard (twin Mercury engines pumping out 270 bhp = 'very quick!!'). The boat will visit a series of stunning coves, including a genuine smuggler's cave. Between high speed blasts, you will stop off in various inlets, coves and hidden beaches, where you can jump off and have a swim in the crystal clear waters. The boat also includes plenty of snorkels, which you are free to use if you so wish.
Quad biking in the Cadiretas Mountains:
You will be given some intial instruction in handling a quad bike and kitted out with helmet and gloves etc, before driving to the edge of town up into the spectacular Cadiretas mountains. A qualified guide will lead your group on the journey that has a total distance of around 15-20km, and takes you several thousand feet up above sea level, giving you spectacular views over the coastline. The driving is fast paced along mountain tracks, and washouts caused by torrential rain make the driving pretty tricky.
