Frequently Asked Questions

Núria is a glass-bottom boat. It has a glass panel in front of each bench, on the hull (“floor”) of the boat, through which you can see the sea bottom in shallow areas (mainly the coves and a section of the Medes Islands). There you can see rocky or sandy bottoms, posidonia meadows, and the fish present at that moment. Keep in mind that these are wild fish, some days you see more, some days less.

Approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes (5 minutes more or less). In summer, when we stop for a swim, it usually extends to 1 hour and 45 minutes.

During the excursion, we provide an overview of the surroundings and point out the main places we pass by. It is not exactly a guided tour, it is a small group excursion between passengers and a crew that knows the area and will be happy to provide you with any information you are interested in.

Whenever weather conditions allow, in summer we usually make a 10-minute stop at a coastal spot for those who want to swim. We start making this stop on June 15th on all trips. From August 15th, we stop making it on the 7:00 pm trip, as the day gets shorter and this way we reach the Medes Islands in time to see the sunset. On the other trips, we usually make it until mid to late September, depending on the weather (do not hesitate to check with us before coming!).

The trip is not intended for eating and drinking, but there is no problem if you want to bring a bottle of water (alcoholic beverages are not allowed).

Depending on the schedule, you can leave it at the information desk at the port or in the office. Let us know beforehand to confirm opening hours.

To get on the boat you have to go down 4 steps. Núria is an old fishing boat and we regret to inform that it is not equipped for wheelchairs…

Yes, dogs are welcome on Núria, as long as you think they will enjoy the trip (they shouldn't be very nervous dogs…). In summer, they can come on the 7:00 pm trip. In spring and autumn, they can come on all trips. It is essential to reserve their spot, as a maximum of 2 dogs per trip are allowed. Let us know if your dog is coming with you!

We will notify you as soon as possible and you can either reschedule for another trip or, if it doesn't suit you or there is no availability, we will refund your money.

On days with northern or rough seas, we cannot guarantee entering the cave for safety reasons. You can read section 8 of our sales policy for more information.

Núria is an open boat to better appreciate the views of the Montgrí cliffs. If you don't like the sun, in summer we recommend coming on the morning trips or late afternoon. Since it is an outdoor activity, we recommend wearing sunscreen and a hat or cap.

Keep in mind that it is an outdoor activity. In summer or during the hours of higher solar radiation, we recommend wearing sunscreen and a hat or cap. On windy days, a jacket is never too much at sea (a light one in summer). If you come in summer, you can bring a swimsuit, towel, and goggles in case we stop for a swim!

We always advise making a reservation as there are limited spots. In August, especially, we recommend reserving a few days in advance.
