We explore laid back fisherman villages off the beaten path with the freedom that only sea kayak can provide.

We sleep in local family owned b’n’b in shared rooms/apartments, relax on secluded tranquil beaches, eat in some of the most authentic local restaurants and kayak past shipwrecks, caves and reefs. There are plenty of short trekking routes to discover your own beach or enjoy stunning hilltop views of the 3 island archipelago: Molat, Ist and Zverinac.

From the moment you step onto the island of Molat and meet Marko at the quayside your holiday begins. This is a rare opportunity to slow to the pace of island life and enjoy the pleasure of being close to nature at every opportunity.

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.
