First you see the city from the water. Then you go under it. A boat ride through the historic Port of Barcelona followed by the aquarium — the same Mediterranean, from two sides.
We board Las Golondrinas, the traditional boats that have been sailing out of this port since 1888, and take the harbour from an angle you cannot get on foot: Port Vell and its working docks, the coastline and the skyline from the sea, Maremagnum, the Porta d’Europa bridge.
Then into L’Aquàrium, where the Oceanari puts you in a glass tunnel with sharks and rays overhead. It works especially well with students because it is movement and discovery instead of a lecture — the city outside, and the world underneath it.
The boat sails in normal conditions; in heavy weather the port authority can cancel departures. If that happens we swap the boat for extra time in the aquarium, or move the date.
Be at the meeting point 10 minutes early. We start at the stated time and cannot hold the group back — the route and the timings depend on it.
We meet in front of the Columbus monument and board Las Golondrinas.
The working port, the skyline from the sea, Maremagnum, the bridge and the port’s architectural landmarks — plus the maritime history of a city built facing the water.
A short walk around the marina to L’Aquàrium.

In front of the Columbus monument, at the bottom of Las Ramblas. Metro L3 Drassanes, two minutes away. Your guide waits by the Golondrinas ticket office with the Walking Planets sign.
Yes. Both halves work as standalone activities and we quote them separately — useful when you have a short window or a cruise call. Tell us which one you want.
In heavy weather the port authority can cancel departures. If that happens we swap the boat for extra time at the aquarium, or we move the date. You never lose the activity.
Yes, and it is one of the reasons the combination exists: movement and discovery instead of a lecture. The aquarium has educational material adapted by age and content on ocean conservation.
Yes — the Golondrinas boat ticket and the aquarium admission are both in the price we quote. Transport to Portal de la Pau is not.
The Gothic Quarter, Ciutadella, Nova Icària and the seafront on two wheels — out from Plaça Sant Jaume and back to it.
