On this Sea kayaking trip we stay with our host, a local fisherman, who prepres our food. Every day we venture out with sea kayaks to explore stunning vertical cliffs (opportunity for deep water solo if you are into it or just snorkel), caves, beaches and visit small fisherman settlements and 13th century ruins.

If you're looking for a different experience, this is it! We were a group of 7 friends and we experienced a week full of fun, sunny weather, delicious food and amazing nature.Our guide Marko has the ability to make everybody feel comfortable and he always arranged the tours in a way that each of us could enjoy to a maximum.Excellent value for money!

The trip was a very special definition of travelling. Close to nature, close to the Croatian habitants – even close to yourself – and getting a little feeling for what Croatia is really like. The Kayaking is the “red” line – throughout the trip.
