Review of Caribe Aquatic Park near Salou, with thrilling slides, family pools, queues, food costs, lockers, access, and value tips.
“Myself, my wife and our two daughters (14 and 10) had a wonderful time at Costa Caribe. The Waterpark is perfect for children of all ages. To benefit from all of the rides, you need to be at least 140 cm tall. We bought our tickets in advance. When you arrive, show your booking form and you will be let through the first gate. You then walk up a hill for about 300 yards and then you queue again to have your booking form exchanged for tickets. After that, you scan your ticket and you are in! The key to a great day there is to arrive when the gates…”
PortAventura Park near Barcelona delivers major roller coasters, six themed worlds, shows, and family rides, with useful tips on queues and costs.
“Great park, too bad the queues are so long. 2 hour queues is a bit too much for my likings. The premium passes are a ripoff from my point of view, they are expensive and only have options with limited number of rides, not including Uncharted (separate for 25 euros). There is no decent option for single ride if you only want to skip one.”
Review of Cambrils catamaran cruise with reserved Balinese beds, drinks, swimming, snorkeling, and optional BBQ along Catalonia’s coast.
“the staff was super nice and the stop was perfect for getting some time to go in the water”
Review of the Salou and Cambrils speedboat tour, with high-speed spins, Mediterranean swimming, snorkels, drinks, pricing, and practical tips.
“the speedboat tour from Salou was fantastic from start to finish. the 1st & 2nd Captain both provided brilliant entertainment along with the thrills, twists & Turns along the way. my wife & 4 year old son also loved the experience also. highly recommend this to anyone.”
See Barcelona from Salou by air-conditioned bus, visit Gaudí landmarks, enjoy city views, and get free time for the Ramblas and Gothic Quarter.
“It was very nice. Everything was on time, bus comfortable and clean, guide and driver very good.”
Ride automatic quads through Salou’s forest tracks and countryside, with hotel pickup, multilingual guides, and Costa Dorada views.
“The lady who drove us to and from the quad safari was very nice and lovely. The guides and other people were incredibly helpful and also friendly. We loved our time on the quads and would definitely recommend, would love to come again”
Ferrari Land near Barcelona pairs Red Force, F1-themed rides, Italian design, and family attractions with a one-day admission ticket.
“At the go-kart area, the cars were actually slower than the turtle — and despite the long queue, we gave up after waiting for 30 minutes because it simply didn’t seem worth it. While even the roller coaster was designed to reflect the speed and sound of a Ferrari, the go-karts felt completely out of place. It would’ve been better if they hadn’t included them at all. Inside the F1 driver experience zone, there are 6-seater simulators with three seats in the front and three in the back. Children seated in the back row may have difficulty seeing the screen when adults sit in front of them. Please take this…”
Compare PortAventura, Ferrari Land, and Caribe Aquatic Park with practical tips on rides, queues, pass options, food, heat, and value.
“Bought the 3 day tickets, would recommend definitely worth the money. Downloaded the PortAventura app to keep an update on length of waiting times for each ride, definitely a must, saves carrying a map around as its all on there. Ferrari land not really as good, 2 major rides but other smaller rides for the little ones. Caribe water park was great, indoor area for infants, especially in the heat, was good.”
Cruise from Cambrils at sunset with unlimited drinks, coastal views, music, and a swimming stop for $38 per person.
“What an amazing experience. The staff are so welcoming to everyone, could not do enough for you. The views from the catamaran were beautiful. The drinks and value for money was very good. A big thank you to Micky for making my mums birthday celebrations special.”

“toutes les attractions sont amusante. Le point d'amélioration est la trop longue fil d'attente pour accéder aux attractions”
Travel from Salou to Barcelona for a full day of free time, Gothic Quarter shopping, La Rambla, harbor views, and easy coach transport.
“We had difficulty booking this trip via the website and app. Customer services were unable to fix the issue which meant we couldn’t book. We decided to book the City Centre Tour and thankfully we were able to upgrade to the tour we wanted. The bus took us from La Pineda to Barcelona at 9am and we returned back at 6:15pm to our stop. The guide Bruno was very knowledgeable and told us many interesting facts on the bus ride in and as we progressed around the city. It was challenging at times as there were 3 languages being translated which was tricky to tune into. The other languages would…”
