Kayaking River Ter Ryder Cup 2031: the plan nobody has told you about yet. Because between sessions of the greatest golf tournament in the world, the nature surrounding Camiral hides one of the most authentic and surprising experiences on the entire Costa Brava: kayaking down the River Ter, a Mediterranean biological corridor protected by the Natura 2000 network.
A river that rises in the Pyrenees at over 2,400 metres, crosses the province of Girona from north to south and reaches the sea leaving behind some of the most unspoilt and unknown landscapes in all of Catalonia. And one you can explore by kayak from just €25, suitable for the whole family, with a guide included and no prior experience required.
Here is the perfect plan for a full day between sessions of the Ryder Cup 2031.
Morning , Kayaking the Ter with Kayak del Ter
The company Kayak del Ter operates from Colomers, the smallest municipality in the Baix Empordà, built on a great meander of the River Ter just 20 minutes from Camiral. They have been offering guided descents along the most spectacular stretches of the river for years, always with an absolute commitment to respecting the natural environment.
The routes run through areas of the Gironès and Baix Empordà of outstanding landscape value — riverside forests among the best preserved in Catalonia, with an extraordinary biodiversity that includes grey herons, otters, kingfishers and vegetation that in autumn dresses itself in spectacular colours.

Midday , Where to Eat After the Descent
After two or three hours paddling between riverbanks of pine trees and poplars, you will have worked up a serious appetite. The Gironès and Baix Empordà area has some gastronomic options you simply cannot miss:
Cal Ganso , Sant Martí de Llémena A classic of Gironès cuisine with a Guía Repsol Sol rating. Product-driven cooking with zero-kilometre ingredients, in an authentic rural setting that contrasts perfectly with the adrenaline of the kayak.
Girona city restaurants Just 15 minutes from the kayak area, Girona offers everything from informal terraces by the Onyar river to the legendary El Celler de Can Roca , three Michelin stars and three times the best restaurant in the world. Something for every budget and every taste.
Beach restaurants at the Ter Delta , L’Estartit If you prefer to close the river experience with a meal by the sea, the Ter Delta meets the Mediterranean near L’Estartit, where you will find fresh fish restaurants with views of the Illes Medes , another natural treasure of the Costa Brava well worth a visit.
