Costa Brava: Boat Trip to Cadaqués from Roses

About this experience

This boat trip from Roses to Cadaqués is a coastal excursion along the south-east edge of the Cap de Creus Natural Park, departing from Avinguda de Rhode 139 in Roses. The route follows one of the most rugged stretches of the Barcelona region's coastline, passing dramatic headlands and coves before arriving at Cadaqués, a whitewashed fishing village that has changed little in character over the past century. Salvador Dalí lived and worked at Port Lligat, a small bay immediately adjacent to Cadaqués, and the town's particular quality of light and landscape shaped much of his later work. The outward crossing takes in the full length of the Cap de Creus shoreline from the water, giving a perspective unavailable by road. On arrival, passengers have two hours ashore in Cadaqués to walk the narrow lanes around the old quarter, visit the seafront, or explore independently at their own pace. The return crossing follows the same coastal route back to Roses. Tickets cover the round-trip ferry from Roses and the two-hour stop in Cadaqués. Note that the trip is not suitable for wheelchair users. Departures run from the Roses embarkation point, and booking confirms a timed slot.
