Highly recommend this adventure! - Karlo was an incredible guide for the day. My friend and I booked late in the season (early September) and ended up getting a private tour! It was very fun and active, about a 45min kayak either way and 20 min cycle either way. Had the opportunity to relax on two for about two hours and had a delicious local lunch.

A wonderful full-on day of great activities in stunning surroundings - I met my guide Zee promptly at the meeting point as instructed and set off on the ferry for a memorable day of activities. I was lucky to have a private tour as I was the sole participant for the day and Zee couldn’t have been more helpful. I am 63 years old and reasonably fit, but not as young as I used to be! It was a pleasure to spend the day with this young man, who was professional, kind and patient and it was so nice to hear his passion for his country and pride in his heritage. The kayak safety briefing was thorough and all the equipment was in great order. The journey across to Sipan took about an hour but I wasn’t rushed and we were able to stop to rest when needed. The cycle ride was lovely and peaceful and we even managed a stop to pick wild peaches and figs. We bought picnic food in Lopud and ate it in the park while chatting and then headed for a fabulously cooling swim at a pretty bay. Zee had provided me with snorkelling kit so I was happy to spend some time enjoying the clear waters. The journey back to Lopud in the kayak was more difficult as I was quite tired but it was manageable and Zee made it easy for me to take my time and stop for a breather to enjoy the stunning views whenever I needed to. I had a wonderful, full-on day and would absolutely recommend it. Zee was a fantastic guide and made me feel very comfortable and was very encouraging.

Deeply Enchanting - Our guide Z gave us the most incredible day. My husband and I summed the day up into a couple words “deeply enchanting.” We both felt our souls had been cleansed from the experience. We got to know some deep history, soak in the local experience, and see enchanting places.

Great way to escape the touristy areas. - Great way of getting away from all the tourists and enjoying some peace in the sea. Z (Zvon?) was a great guide and gave us great insights in the local culture (including a small introduction to water polo 🤽☺️)

Awesome Active Tour Away from the Crowd - Signed up last minute and so glad we did. We had a fantastic time and Zvonimir was a young but enthusiastc guide. After an hour ferry to Lopud, we jumped in the kayaks to head to Sipan where we picked up the bikes. Note that because of the return ferry schedule this is actually a 10 hour trip. Because of this, the cruise boat people had to drop out and we had essentially a private tour which was great. We bought food at a market in Lopud for a picnic at a beautiful park in Sipanska Luka, rather than eat at a restaurant, which was cheaper and preferred so we could have more time to bike, swim, poke around an old castle ruins, and visit a winery. Very fun day! Thank you Zvoni!

Best Guide and Amazing Views - Fantastic experience and breathtaking views. Carlo was such an amazing guide, he was patient, funny and knowledgeable. The kayaking was physically challenging, but doable for anyone who is reasonably fit. The bike ride had such great views of the country side and had one big hill, but both my girlfriend and I could handle it without stopping.

Excellent Tour, Excellent Guide - Karlo was an incredibly knowledgeable and supportive tour guide! I’d do another tour with him any day! The tour is challenging but doable, and so worth it for the unique experience and sense of accomplishment :)

Great Tour of nothingness - Went to the meeting point as described by their website (and also confirmed with a pin point on get your guide) and no one was there. So if you enjoy staying around ferries, a bus stop and a pedestrian crossing this tour is definitely for you! 😁 Stayed in the area for around 30 minutes to no avail. Did attempt to contact them regarding no one being there but no replies. I've seen another review stating the same thing so clearly there is an issue here.
