The Costa Brava is a fantastic choice for school watersports tours for a number of reasons. Firstly, of course, the Costa Brava is famed for its lovely coastline and beaches. And the watersports centres here are well established and very experienced, so you can rest assured your students are in good hands as they try their hands at some new, exciting sports, including catamaraning, windsurfing, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking and snorkelling, to name but a few. Plus, there are some great excursion opportunities to add another dimension to your tour.
