      Unforgettable memories from Croatia
      The tour was absolutely amazing, best I ever had. The guides Ivan and Matte were very warm and friendly, as a solo traveller I haven’t felt alone by any time, they gave me all the support and attention, also they looked after everyone safety all the time. For those who love adventure, the tour is perfect we did cliff jumping, visited a beautiful cave and explored a submarine tunnel built during the war, the water is unbelievable blue, it’s a opportunity to visit very special, stunning, preserved and remote places in an unique way. Thanks a million Ivan and Matte, this tour made my visit to Croatia unforgettable!

      Beautiful island, great guide, perfect day!
      Great trip! Worth the money. The island is gorgeous, bluest water I’ve ever seen. Our guide was one of the best guides I have had for sea kayaking. A local who was very knowledgeable about the area. He was very tentative about our safety. There was a strong southern wind that day so instead of going to the shipwreck we went to the other side of the island. So not only did we get to kayak but we drove all over the northern part of the island and saw that. Lots of swimming, kayaking, rock jumping and relaxing. Thank you so much for the great day!

      Lovely Kayak experience
      I strongly recommend this experience. Indications were really clear. Ivan, our guide, was really nice, making sure that everybody feels safe and confortable. It was a real pleasure to listen to him telling us many interesting stories. Don't miss this activity, the views are wonderful, you won't regret it ! Delphine and Laurent from Belgium

      Superb
      The guides were amazong. Couldn’t go to the shipwreck due to bad weather, yet they showed and let us kayak in another nice spot instead. Keep in mind that cash only is preferred almost everywhere in the island including catamaran which is used for return to Zadar.

      The time of our life!
      To say the trip was great is understatement. Everything was perfect. We have received clear directions how to get to the meeting point. Zoki, our guide was waiting for us and took us to the beach entertaining us with stories about island. We have kayaked to the cave and the shipwreck and did some snorkeling. We have seen lots of different fish and sea urchins. Weather was perfect with overcast and no wind. Sea was calm and felt like a lake. Kayaks were very stable and rowing wasn't hard. We felt safe and well looked after. Views are to die for! People are very friendly. We have had dinner in the restaurant which was very nice and reasonably priced (we expected little shack but it's far from it) signal on the island isn't great which kept us away from our phones and let us enjoy our time together. It also resulted in me losing my phone at the campsite 🙈 luckily it's been found and returned to me few days after with ferry crew. I cannot thank them enough. Those guys did their absolute best to keep us safe and entertained. One of the best excursions I have experienced. Worth every penny!

      Full day island adventure
      Great tour. Island adventure as we went to numerous places on the island. It’s a full day but a good balance of swimming, kayaking resting and playing. The ferry departs Zadar Gazenica and you return to old town on a catamaran. Great day

      Great communication and amazing experience despite changes to the itinerary from uncontrollable conditions.
      I booked the full day tour for myself and my boyfriend and we had a lovely time. We did unfortunately have half of the day cancelled because of rough seas however we were still able to do the majority of the morning portion. The instructors were very kind and explained everything very well for all of us and we were able to pick it up easily despite none of the group ever having kayaked before. We ventured out and were not able to go through the caves as the waves were too high and the risk was too great for which our instructor was apologetic however it is always better to be safe than to risk things in these situations, something we were aware of going into the tour as weather and the ocean can be very unpredictable and the winds were continuously picking up. We did go to the small bay area which has no road access and it was beautiful. The waters were completely clear and snorkeling goggles were available for our use which allowed us to more easily look at the many fish in the area. We brought water shoes with us which we wore for the majority of the trip and were comfortable in the kayak as well as when walking on the rocky shores which I recommend for anybody considering this trip or travelling to the area generally. After kayaking back over the huge waves, an alternative option was suggested however, through constant communication between instructors, it was determined too risky and so the rest of the day was spent on Sakarun beach where the instructors played a traditional Croatian beach game which got everybody involved. We then got an earlier ferry back over to the starting point rather than the catamaran to old town. However, I believe some people did get a lift to be able to use that service. A €40 (£33) partial refund was also provided and the instructors were very forthcoming and great at communicating about the day and options. An option to spend the Friday redoing the activity free of charge was also offered as 2 spaces were available however that was the day of our departure and we could not make it although I will definitely try and rebook in future if I return as it was still an amazing experience regardless of the changes.

      Great day on the water
      Had a great time kayaking. Marta gave excellent directions to get to the pickup point the day before as we were staying in Zadar. Loki was waiting for us when we arrived. The cave was amazing. Due to high winds we did not visit the ship wreck but instead went for a kayak island tour with some submarine caves. Sunset on the beach was wonderful. Loki dropped us off to go home and waited till we got on the ferry. Felt completely safe both in the kayaking (even for novice) and driving about the island. Couple options for food and drink during the day as well! Amazing day with amazing people. Thanks!

      A well rounded full day adventure
      My girlfriend and I had a great time on the kayak tour. Our guide was very friendly, had great stories to tell and we felt well taken care of the entire day. The kayaking itself was very fun, not too exhausting even with minimal to no kayak experience. Everything worked on time like clockwork. The first halt of the trip was spent with the half day tour group while we went to the cave. After that the group split for lunch. The food in the restaurant was great, with fair prices. The second part of the tour had to be slightly restructured, since the weather conditions with strong winds made it a little to dangerous to go near the shipwreck, but instead our guide had a perfectly adequate alternative planned out, where we went to a smaller group of islands on the east coast of Dugi Otok, more secluded and safe from the wind and waves. We ended our tour by driving to the west coast to watch a beautiful sunset on a rocky beach. We had a blast and can only recommend this tour!

      Operator handles problems nicely
      The morning on the day before the tour would have taken place, the organiser contacted us that because of the weather forecast, kayaking on the next day would be too dangerous. We asked for a new date which was easily handled. Unfortunately, the strong winds kept up for our full stay in croatia. So, as agreed, the operator initialized a full refund, which we received a few days later. It's sad that the weather interfered with our plans, but the operator handled it very openly, kindly and professionally. So we are looking forward to trying our luck again next year.

      Adventurous kayak experience
      The full-day kayak trip was the highlight of our holiday. Ivan and Zoki kept the tour safe, but also made it really fun. Also, they were open to provide recommendations on exploring the island, answer questions about Croatia and share their personal experience. The kayak trip gave us the opportunity to explore the island in a different way and see its natural beauty. We'd definitely like to take the tour again in the future! P.S. Zoki, we will come back to reclaim our ice cream 😅

      Amazing, just book it.
      For starters the tour guides were amazing, very good at keeping people safe while having fun. The day itself was amazing, we got time to kayak arms also loads of time to snorkel our chill out. Honestly if anyone is in 2 minds to do this, just do it. Was personally my favourite excursion in Croatia.

      Beautiful Dugi Otok
      High light of our stay in Zadar this year. Ivan and Miho are exceptional guides and they take you to see things you otherwise wouldn’t be able to do easily on your own. Dugi Otok is beautiful and unspoilt. We had never kayaked before but found this was no problem at all. If you can, do it!

      Fantastic day, close to nature with perfect proportions between physical activities (paddling) and resting. Michal, our gide was just perfect.

    A great experience!
    I booked the kayak tour with my girlfriend and we were absolutely satisfied. Our tour guide Ivan always paid attention to the safety of all participants and told us very interesting things about the region. We went into a cave, jumped off cliffs and had an all-round perfect day.
    Thanks to Ivan and the team!

    I had a great time during this tour and didn’t want it to end! Our guide Filip was friendly and kind, at the same time professional and always made sure that everyone felt safe. Beware that the water inside the cave is quite cold, even when it’s 33 degree outside. I jumped right into the water when we got inside the cave and got shocked haha xD. All in all I can definitely recommend this tour when you visit Zadar.

    Normally we planned to do the tour on a Wednesday, however they sent us an email and text on Whatsapp that the tour was cancelled, because of the bad weather. They helped us booking a new tour on a different day and responded to our questions very quickly. The guide was amazing, was experienced and adapted himself to the group (6 students). The tour was varied and we did everthing that was explained in the description. I would certainly recommend this tour to other people and friends.

    We (family of 4, 2 adults, 2 teens) had an amazing time. We had never been kayaking before so had no experience. It was a small group of 6 peole and Filip out tour guide and instructor. We kayaked to an island, jumped off cliffs and kayaked to a beautiful sea cave. We had lunch at the beach cafe, ordered whilst we we kayaked to the litlle island so was ready for when we returned. Food was fresh and tuna salad and tuna burger were really nice. Everyone has been talking non stop about it and are very proud of themselves. We definately recommend this tour and Filip is a very friendly, encouraging and patience host. Our 1 recommendation would be to wear swim shoes as pebbles underfoot can be painful. Fantastic day and experience, thank you Filip

    The kayaking trip with Filip and Zoki was amazing. They gave us the option to cancel with a full refund because some poor weather meant a couple of the usual routes weren’t safe to go to, but they adjusted the day well so everyone had a great time! Both tour guides were so lovely and friendly. Honestly cannot rate this trip high enough!

    I've done a good deal of kayaking around sea/ocean shores but this one probably tops them all (save for the whale watching ones). We were lucky with the weather and the cave is not huge but spectacular both above and under water. The rest of the credit goes to Ivan, the guide, who was patient, conisiderate and fun and showed us all the hidden bits that only a local knows. When we were early for the ferry he even took us for an extra trip to another beach. Well done!

    We had a wonderful day exploring the famous sea cave on Dugi otok, the nearby coastline, and wonderful beaches. Although the weather was not perfect that day, Filip made good planning, taking into account group wishes, so we absolutely enjoyed the whole trip. Good and relaxed vibes, good energy, safety, and excellent equilibrium of chilling and adventure (...you can jump off sea cliffs). Recommended to anyone who wants to explore Dugi otok in a good, relaxed and knowledgeable company. Thanks Filip for excellent trip!

    An unbelievable experience. Me and two friends had an amazing day kayaking at Dogi Otok. Host was very Funny, interesting and helpful. It’s the perfect day, even if you are new to Kayaking like myself. Would recommend this to everyone, it’s well worth it. Our only regret was not doing the full day tour! A must do for anyone In Zadar or surrounding Islands!

    Very nice kayak tour. There is variety between swimming, kayaking and adventure! The cave was beautiful and also the cliff jumping was super cool. Our guide Ivan was enthusiastic, very helpful and knowledgeable. The island is beautiful and definitely worth it. The kayaking was sufficiently intensive, but not too much and certainly manageable if you have no experience with kayaking.

    Had a blast! Very fun and friendly guides. Perfect all day experience that creates lifetime memmories. Highly recomend to anyone that is close to Dugi Otok or Zadar. Keep in mind you have to be a good swimmer and ready to row for quite a bit. Still, the great guides are always here to help and make the tougher parts of the adventure much more fun and easy. Dugi Otok kayaking rocks! Make it your lifes mission to go through it!
