If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience then parasailing in Barcelona is for you. Soar through the skies at 150 meters above the deep blue Mediterranean Sea as you take in some spectacular views of the Barcelona coastline. Whether you’re slightly faint-hearted or an adventure addict, this fun-filled activity is a truly unique way to see the city from above. Share this experience with that special someone as tandem parasailing is also available. Hop on the metro (L4) to El Maresme-Fòrum and head to the action-packed alternative style beach, Parc del Fòrum bathing area, where you can enjoy this activity from May until October!

Jet Skiing in Barcelona

Looking to make the most of the hot Spanish sun and the cool ocean waves? If so, we recommend jet skiing in Barcelona! You are sure to feel an incredible buzz as you race along the shore on your own jet ski. Not only is this a top beach activity in Barcelona, but it also offers spectacular views of the city skyline. Head down to the Barcelona Jet Ski hut in Port Fòrum to hop aboard or check out the Barcelona Jet Ski Tours website and book up for a fun tour of the coastline. This sea adventure is perfect for groups looking to explore the Med at high speeds! If jet skiing is not quite your cup of tea, don’t fret, there are plenty more water sports to choose from, from hopping aboard a catamaran to wakeboarding!

  

Abseiling on Montserrat

Why not try your hand at abseiling in Barcelona? This fun expedition is sure to mix up those emotions. From the initial backwards step off the edge, the descent down the cliff face to the moment when your feet finally make contact with the ground, abseiling will give you a thrilling buzz and the urge to do it all again. What’s more, the location of this activity is perfect for those looking for a short escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, as you will head to the beautiful Montserrat Mountain, just outside Barcelona. Here you will catch a glimpse of some amazing views of Barcelona and you can also try out rock climbing up a 12 meter rock race.

Take a leap from a 65 meter high crane and plummet head first towards the ground. Don’t forget to take in the incredible birds-eye view of the Costa Brava while you’re up there! Prices start at 80€ and you’ll spend a day outside Barcelona, but this terrifying yet terrific dive will leave you feeling like never before. For more information, check out the Lifestyle Barcelona website.
