"Fantastic experience with Aventura Girona. We did two activities and both were excellent. Communication with Carlos was very easy and clear, and the guides were very professional and friendly. The via ferrata at Cala Molí and canyoning at Cingle d'Osor were incredible, with jumps, rappels, and natural slides. Our family enjoyed it very much."
