2. 2.Note that office hours are limited with afternoon closures (siesta time), so plan to call or visit during morning hours (10 AM to 1 PM) for best response.
3. 3.Bring swimwear, water shoes with good grip, a towel, sunscreen, and a change of clothes for water activities. The guides provide wetsuits and safety equipment.
4. 4.English-speaking guides are available, but request this when booking to ensure availability, as Spanish and Catalan are primary languages.
5. 5.Pack snacks and water for before and after activities, as you'll be in natural areas without food services nearby.

Late spring through early fall (May to September) offers the best weather for water-based canyoning. Weekday mornings tend to be less crowded than weekends. Summer months are most popular but can be busy, so consider June or September for milder temperatures and fewer tourists.

Activities must be pre-booked and prices vary by experience type (typically 40 to 80 euros per person). Meeting points are at natural locations outside town, not at the office address, so confirm exact locations when booking. Activities are weather-dependent and may be rescheduled for safety.

Water activities run primarily from late spring through early fall (May to October) when water temperatures are comfortable. Hiking and dry canyoning may be available year-round depending on weather. Winter months may have limited activity options due to cold water temperatures.

Head to Vilafranca del Penedes town center (where the office is located) for family-friendly options like Cal Ton, a traditional Catalan restaurant with outdoor seating, or grab pizzas at local spots that welcome families. Barcelona is only 45 minutes away for more extensive dining options.
