See a quieter side of the Costa Brava with a paddle board adventure along the River Fluvià. With flexible hire periods and easy access to the water, you can spend an hour exploring nearby or enjoy a longer journey through one of Catalonia's most important natural landscapes at your own pace.
Your paddle board adventure begins close to the banks of the River Fluvià, just a short walk from the hire centre. After collecting your equipment and receiving any essential information before setting off, you'll launch onto calm waters and choose the route that suits the amount of time you've booked.
Heading upstream offers a peaceful paddle through quieter sections of the river, where you'll discover small freshwater pools surrounded by nature. Alternatively, you can follow the gentle current towards the Mediterranean Sea, passing through the protected landscapes of the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà Natural Park. Along the way, you'll have plenty of opportunities to stop, enjoy the scenery, and watch for the wide variety of birds and wildlife that call this area home.
Whether you choose a shorter paddle or spend several hours exploring, the experience offers plenty of flexibility. Take your time gliding along the river, pause for photographs, or simply enjoy being on the water as you explore one of the Costa Brava's most scenic natural areas from a different perspective.
Your paddle board is collected in Sant Pere Pescador, with the River Fluvià located only around 200 metres from the starting point. Launching from the river provides immediate access to calm water and a choice of routes in either direction.
The surrounding landscape forms part of the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà Natural Park, an important wetland reserve known for its wildlife, peaceful waterways, and natural scenery. It's an ideal setting for a relaxing paddle away from busy beaches while still remaining close to the Mediterranean coastline.
No previous paddle boarding experience is required. The calm river conditions make this an enjoyable activity for both beginners and those with previous experience.
A reasonable level of mobility and confidence around water will help you make the most of your time on the river. Staff will provide your equipment before you set off on your chosen route.
Launching directly onto the River Fluvià allows you to explore one of the Costa Brava's most peaceful waterways without needing to transport equipment elsewhere. Flexible hire periods mean you can choose the amount of time that best suits your plans.
Alex and the team prepare the equipment before every hire and are happy to point you towards the best routes depending on how long you'd like to spend on the water, helping you make the most of your visit.
No. The activity is suitable for complete beginners as well as those who have paddle boarded before. The River Fluvià provides generally calm conditions, making it an enjoyable place to learn while still offering plenty for more experienced paddlers.
Before you head onto the water, you'll collect your equipment and can ask the team any questions about the route or getting started if it's your first time on a paddle board.
Once you launch onto the River Fluvià, you're free to choose your own direction depending on the type of experience you're looking for.
Paddling upstream leads towards quieter stretches of river and small freshwater pools, while heading downstream takes you through the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà Natural Park before eventually reaching the Mediterranean Sea.
The River Fluvià is located only around 200 metres from where you collect your paddle board and equipment.
This short walk means you'll be on the water within just a few minutes, allowing you to spend more of your booking exploring rather than travelling.
The one-hour option is ideal if you'd simply like to enjoy a short paddle or try the activity for the first time.
Three and five-hour hires allow much more time to explore the river, enjoy the natural surroundings, stop for photographs, and paddle further into the protected landscapes of the natural park.
The Aiguamolls de l'Empordà Natural Park is home to a wide variety of birds, fish, and wetland wildlife throughout the year.
Although sightings can never be guaranteed, paddling quietly along the river often provides opportunities to observe nature without disturbing the surrounding environment.
Yes. Your hire includes a paddle board, paddle, dry bag, and a sun protection lycra.
Everything is prepared before your arrival so you can collect your equipment and head straight to the river.
Absolutely. Since you're hiring the equipment rather than joining a guided tour, you're free to paddle at your own pace within your booking time.
Many visitors enjoy taking breaks along quieter sections of the river to appreciate the scenery, take photographs, or simply spend time surrounded by nature before continuing.
