We recommend this... - We recommend this excursion 100%!
It’s a great way to discover beautiful and hidden corners of the island, away from the tourist crowds, while enjoying a fun activity like kayaking.
Special mention for the lunch restaurant: the grilled squid were just excellent!
The organization is impeccable. The excursion is done in a small group, which allows you to enjoy the experience to the full without feeling like you are on a school trip. Everything is well framed, with discreet but attentive support.
Many thanks to our guide, both professional and warm. He guided us with kindness and shared with us valuable advice on Zadar.
To do with your eyes closed: the excursion is well worth its price!

It’s a fantastic way to discover beautiful, hidden spots on the island, far from the tourist crowds, while enjoying a fun kayaking adventure.
Special mention for the lunch restaurant — the grilled calamari were absolutely delicious!
The organization is flawless. The small group size makes the experience feel personal and relaxed, far from the usual “school trip” vibe. Everything is well managed, and you’re guided throughout in a smooth, supportive way.
A big thank you to our guide, who was both professional and incredibly friendly. He offered helpful advice during the trip and even shared great local tips about Zadar.
A must-do experience — absolutely worth the price!

We loved it - Really enjoyed this kayak trip - we've kayaked several times elsewhere in Croatia but this was definitely the best we've been on. The kayaks were very easy to paddle and manoeuvre - sea cave was beautiful - cliff jumping not too scary but enough to get the blood pumping. Filip was an excellent host - friendly, professional and explained everything - we felt very safe with him

Great Day Kayaking - Great Day Kayaking - Maté is an excellent guide, and made us feel safe and welcome. The day was sunny, the ocean calm, we we saw a couple of hidden coves, caves, and islands. All in all it was a great adventure. the transportation van he had that day was a but rundown, and had no AC and a baulky stereo, but other than that, an excellent time was had by all

Great trip! - 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.

Perfect way of seeing the island and trying out some kayaking - Great experience. The half day tour was absolutely enough for amateurs and the guide was great as well.

One of the highlights of our holiday! - Had an amazing 1/2 kayaking trip with my two girls. The beach on the first island was dream like 🙌🏼. Our guide Zoki was very accommodating and made sure everyone was happy and well looked after. We especially loved cliff jumping, my 8yr old could not get enough of it 😁. It was such a great active day, we would deff do it again, highly recommended! 🙌🏼🐠

Nature at its best 😍 - The tour was really nice and easy to do even with older children. When it's windy, paddling can be exhausting in the long run, but the experience was absolutely worth it. Filip and Ivan are great tour guides with a lot of experience and were able to help us with everything. We can only recommend this tour to everyone!

A great outdoor experience. - To get more out of the experience I would take snorkelling equipment. A great activity, even the half day ends up more like a full day due to timings..
