Reviews
Very friendly owner, excellent kayak and wonderful islands and landscapes very close!
I had a great day windsurfing. It is quite a few years since I last windsurfed, so it was very handy to be able to start with a small sail 5sqm and work my way up to a 7.5sqm sail. Franco was super helpful with all of the sail changes. I also borrowed a harness which was good. Very happy with all of the equipment. I also rented kayaks with friends on another day, again a great experience.
Very nice kayak trip to the coastal cave, a nice spot for swimming/snorkeling and to an uninhabited island. Access to the cave is not possible with kayaks, but you have to snorkel in under flat rocks under guidance. The rocks on the coast are sharp and the sun is blazing, so bathing shoes, sunscreen and a hat are essential. Kayaking is a lot of fun and pretty easy but tiring. As an untrained person, my muscles are sore the next day. Our kayak guide speaks good English and takes every participant into account. On the way he took many pictures of us, above and under water. At the end there was a beer to mark an all-round successful afternoon. THANKS!
When I booked this kayak tour, I never imagined it would be such an amazing trip. Despite the language barrier (my poor English), communication was very good. Our guide was very patient with me. We had the exclusive pleasure of touring alone with our guide. He not only showed us the beauties of the nature park on the water side, but also the remote bays for snorkeling overland. He even carried our luggage (I had my own snorkeling equipment with me). Where do you get such a service? Thanks!! Our guide was born and grew up there, so he was able to tell us a lot about the area and its history. We really enjoyed the 4 hours and would like to thank you again for that. Great cinema!! Photos were also taken of the tour and sent to you free of charge via a link. Thanks to the whole team and especially to our guide.
Me and my friends have had the best kayak experience, even been lucky enough to spot a dolphin. The guides are really nice and alert. There was also a family with small kids in our group and they made sure everything went alright. This company places safety above money. Istria
