Boat Tours in Barcelona since 1888
Guided visits in 5 languages: English – French – Catalan – Spanish
Take a journey along the Port and the beautiful coastline of Barcelona. Discover the big city and its long beaches from sea, while your Tour Guide reflects on how nearly 2 million citizens and thousands of annual visitors thrive in this gorgeous, Mediterranean maritime environment. Also you will learn about the history of the city and its coastline monuments: hotel W, Barceloneta, Olympic Village and the impact of the 92’ Olympic Games, 2004, Universal Forum of Cultures and much more.
The trip lasts 1 hour 30 minutes during which students and teachers will be on board of the Golondrina crossing the docks of the Port of Barcelona and the coast of the city. The minimum capacity is 30 students.
The trip can be done in the following languages:
Through our booking area you can make the reservation. Following information required:
Once we receive the information about your reservation, we will send you an email informing you that the reservation has been confirmed. If we do not have availability, in the same email we will give you several options with both dates and hours of departure.
This service is available from Monday to Friday during the school year only at 10.30 AM. No service is realized during the school holiday periods (Christmas, Easter and summer).
If you pay the same day by cash or card, the price is:
13,50€ per student guided visit (taxes included)
11,60€ per student not guided visit (taxes included)
If you pay by bank transfer there will be a discount per student at the time of the booking.
This fee is current for the 2019/2020 school year.
The activity is free for teachers. The deadline for incomes is 7 days before departure. If the payments are not realized or come too late, we do not offer the discount and you must pay the difference the same day of departure.
To cancel your reservation please send us an email stating your status and booking details. In case of cancellation you can resend your last email to us. We only need that email which indicates your trip cancelation.
For bookings that you will pay the day of departure:
We ask that if you have not paid in advance that you do it at least 48 hours before departure to facilitate the organization of the booking process.
For bookings with transfer:
If the transfer is done 48 hours before the departure the entire amount will be refunded. If the transfer is not done 48 hours before the departure only the 50% of the total amount will be refunded.
Reservations must be made with the total transfer for all students. Capacity is limited and we must know how many passengers we will have to prevent over boarding of passengers. If this occurs, the students will not make the trip.
You should tell us when you get the ticket if there are fewer students on the day of the booking. We will pay you the difference with cash and the responsible of the group must sign a receipt to indicate the deliverance of the money.
The idea of the trip is that there is only one group that travels on a boat, however, for small groups there is a possibility of traveling with other schools in the same boat. In that case, that will be groups of similar ages to adapt the explanation of the guide to an adequate level.
The capacity of boats is 145 people, of which 80 to 100 fit on the top cover depending of the Golondrina service. This is another reason why it is better for us to know the number of students: If you are a big group, you can make several trips (at different times) or even in two boats at the same time if there are free boats.
On the day of your trip all members of the group need to be present fifteen 15 minutes before the departure time at the ticket office of Las Golondrinas to get their boarding ticket.
If payment is made by bank transfer you must deliver a copy of the receipt to get the ticket. You may not embark until the group leader shows the ticket at the gate. We recommend to bring warm clothing according to the season even if the trip is done near the summer, there is always breeze or the weather may change. You cannot forget sunglasses and sunscreen!
It is important to arrive before the departure to ensure quality service and that everyone gets their ticket and runs smoothly. We ask the cooperation of our customers. Therefore, from the direction of Las Golondrinas we inform you that if you arrive late or the ship is on delay for causes originated by the group the travel time will be subtracted to arrival in time for the next service.
If you arrive late and you share the trip with another school that is already on board, the ship will not wait for you. In these cases we do not return the money. We try to get you another time tour for the same day or the possibility to book another date.
If there is availability we offer the option to make the trip in a modern Golondrina with no added charges included.

"Very cute"
We did the 40 minute tour and it was very cute, we even accompanied the music of a bandoneon. An alternative to see Barcelona from another perspective.
"Very good, recommendable" We were recommended by some friends who live in Seville and very well. The portions well d quantity and the price well too. Good service
"A classic for children"
We took the return by the port about 30-35min. Walk the port .... and you see the great cruises and the views near the port, etc. Entertaining activity for children .... and for the elderly we sit for a while.
"Beautiful"
Nice and quiet walk. Good sea view of Barcelona and boat in good condition and without any fuss.
"It's pretty good"
The walk in swallows by the port of Barcelona, the short trip lasts approximately 40 minutes. For doing something different in the city of Barcelona, it is very good. And the price is not expensive compared to other sites. I liked!
