How booking a Gaztelugatxe trip works

1 · Check access for your date

Access to the path can require a free booking at busy times of year. Check what applies on your date, and whether a tour handles it for you.

2 · Check how much time is on site

The walk down and back takes a real share of the visit. Compare how long each tour actually stops, not only its total length.

3 · Decide land or sea

Boat trips show the islet from the water without the walk; coach and driver tours take you to the path itself.
