Cap Norfeu: 2-Hr Glass Bottom Boat Trip from Roses or Santa Margarita

About this experience

Cap Norfeu is a glass-bottom catamaran trip departing from Roses or Santa Margarita along the Costa Brava coastline, running for two hours return. The route heads toward the Cap Norfeu peninsula, a stretch of the Costa Brava north of Barcelona where the terrain shifts from sandy beaches to sheer rocky cliffs, sea caves, and eroded limestone outcroppings that drop directly into clear Mediterranean water. The peninsula sits within the Cap de Creus Natural Park, one of the least developed sections of the Catalan coast, which keeps the water unusually clear and the shoreline largely undisturbed. During the trip, the catamaran passes the Illes Mòniques and a cluster of small islets whose rock formations have been shaped by centuries of wind and wave into recognisable silhouettes, including El Cavall Bernat, a rampant horse, and El Gat, a cat. Live commentary onboard identifies the formations and explains the coastal geography as the boat moves through the area. The glass bottom allows views of the seabed throughout the route without leaving your seat. Tickets cover the round-trip catamaran journey and onboard commentary. Food and drinks are not included but are available for purchase on board. The trip departs from Paseo Marítimo, Av. de Rhode 139, and cancellation is accepted before the scheduled timeslot. The boat is not wheelchair accessible.
