Depart from school and head to Dover where you will cross the channel to Calais travelling overnight to the resort of Platja D’Aro. Make sure you take your favourite DVD’s with you to enjoy throughout the journey!

Day 2 Reaching the Hotel

Arrival at the hotel which is located right on the beach and with direct access to one of the most beautiful coves on the Costa Brava, offering great facilities including a swimming pool, a games room, and much more. The wide promenade has lots of sophisticated shops, restaurants and cafes so no surprise that school groups have been coming twenty years.

Day 3 1st day of Watersports

After a buffet breakfast, your water sport sessions begin this morning and get underway after a safety briefing. The afternoon will be taken up by the second of the water sport activity sessions finishing in time for everyone to return to the hotel and prepare for dinner. This evening you can walk into the centre of Platja D’Aro.

Day 4 Trip to Barcelona

Visit the city of Barcelona. Your group can opt to take a tour around the world famous Camp Nou and the impressive Barcelona FC Football Museum.

Day 5 Adventure in Water World

This morning you will set off on the short coach ride across the resort to the Water World in Lloret de Mar- one of the largest water parks in Europe. Water World is an entire city of water attractions where you can enjoy various rides, such as wave pools, rapid rivers, kamikaze and Jacuzzi pool.

Day 6 Final day of Watersports

Back over to Sant Pol beach to pick up where you left off with the water sports activities. By the end of the day the students will have had the opportunity to participate in each activity. You may wish to end your tour by heading back into Platja D’Aro to party the night away with a disco.

Day 7 Checking Out

Unfortunately all good things come to an end. After breakfast it’s time to check out but there is just enough time for some last minute shopping, try Les Gallerias just off the high street, and lunch before you head out to start your journey to Calais

On arrival in Calais you will set sail to Dover and travel back to school. The tour officially ends when you get back to the UK, but with a trip this great we are sure that it will live long in the memory.
