What you'll do
Next, follow your guide to Platja Gran (Grand Beach), where you'll board a glass-bottomed boat to sail along the coast. Spot marine life along the way with crystal-clear views of the sea bed and stop at hidden caves and secluded coves like Cova d'es Berganti and Cova de Cala Bona. Once you arrive in Cala Pola, you'll be served a small meal on the soft honey sands.
After fueling up, stretch your legs along the Costa Brava's coastal path, the Camí de Ronda, which was once patrolled by Spain's security forces to combat smuggling. Walk the path for about 10 minutes until you reach the sheltered inlet, Cala Bona. On this walk, you'll be treated to panoramic coastal views, and your guide will point out Mediterranean flora, such as lavender and Rosemary.
There'll be kayaks waiting for you at Cala Bona's beach so you can paddle south along the coast as far as Platja Mar Menuda. Your guide will take you into smaller nooks and channels bigger boats can't access, so you'll get close to the rocky shoreline. Stop to snorkel in the clear waters, looking out for colorful marine life. Your journey ends at Platja Mar Menuda, where you can find a restaurant for lunch or enjoy some downtime on the beach.

Glass-bottom Boat Ride from Tossa de Mar
Private: Dali Triangle and Cadaqués Day Trip
The Dalí Theatre-Museum is regarded as the world's largest surrealist museum. Inaugurated in 1974, it rises on the remains of the former Municipal Theatre of Figueres, considered to be the last great work of Salvador Dalí. Everything in it was conceived and designed by the artist so as to offer visitors a real experience and draw them into his unique and captivating world.
Portlligat is a small, isolated fisherman's hut, with an astonishing landscape. The House-Museum in Portlligat was Salvador Dalí's only place of residence, where he lived and worked until 1982. Dalí spent 40 years building his perfect home, resulting in a labyrinthine structure, which spreads out in a succession of spaces linked by narrow corridors, slight level changes and blind passageways. The different spaces are decorated with carpets, whitewash, dried flowers, velvet upholstery, antique furniture, etc, belonging to the artist. Furthermore, all the rooms have windows of different shapes and proportions, framing a landscape which is a constant point of reference in Dalí's work: the Portlligat bay.
After Gala's death, Dalí moved to the Púbol Castle. At the Gala-Dalí Castle of Púbol, open to the public since 1996, visitors can discover the medieval building in which Gala infuses Salvador Dalí's creativity right down to the finest details, and whose goal was to provide Gala with a quiet and secluded place.
Tickets of Theatre-Museum Dalí in Figueres, Dalí House in PortLligat and Gala Dalí Castle of Pubol, lunch and extra drinks NOT included.
