GREAT EXPERIENCE, EASY TO BOOK - Me and My Fiancé were located at the Dalmacija Hotel and were looking for a great trip nearby. Lucky for us Riviera Outdoors is right next to the hotel. Easy to reach,next to the Lavender Restaurant and only 45 € p.p. We got the booking confirmation like 20 Minutes after we paid and our guide politely asked us through the mail address and via phone if it was possible for us to go on that trip with them one day earlier because the weather would be better. Of course we said. When we arrived at 8:15 we just had to wait like 20 more minutes, got some information and equipment for the Tour and we started to paddle. Our Guide was very friendly, told us a lot about the history or Makarska and the buildings/church while we passed them. After 1h Hour we were snorkeling at the Nagal beach. (Snorkeling masks were included if you didnt have) Beautiful Beach, great to take pictures and relax. After that we made our way back home. There was a possibility to cliff jump and one of our paddle buddies took it. Was fun to watch and we headed our way back home. So all in all great experience, cheap and friendly. Would reccommend 10/10

A great excursion - The booking was made last minute but the team were helpful and answered all my queries promptly. The guide was polite and had a natural way with encouraging my three teens to jump from the cliff edge with confidence. He was effective in trying to help us with our kayaking technique without being overbearing. I would definitely recommend this tour the calm sea and warm weather provide the perfect conditions for this activity.

so much fun - we had a delightful experience with our kayaking group! we met many lovely people, including our friendly tour guides who are very knowledgeable about the area. their facts are highly interesting & we really enjoyed listening to them. although it was an exhausting couple of hours, it was worth it because of the beautiful beach you have a rest at. the guides kindly gave our group equipment to go snorkelling + look at some absolutely gorgeous fish🐠 plus you will be provided with fruit, which we were highly grateful for. nevertheless, my favourite part was cliff jumping for sure! jumping from the cliffs was soooo much fun - i would definitely do it again without hesitation. thank you very much for the incredible experience❤️

Amazing trip! - An amazing trip, definitely our favourite trip so far! Our guide was amazing and told us so many wonderful and interesting facts about Makarska and Croatia that we did know/hadn’t found online. We chose the afternoon kayaking session at 5:30pm and it was just beautiful - our guide ensured that we reached the lighthouse before sunset so we got to sit and watch the sun go down over the ocean which was just surreal. We also loved how he reassured us there was no rush - the guide showed us the way and lead the group but allowed us to follow in our own time and gave us some rest breaks along the coast on the way and told us more about the local area and answered any of our questions. We had 2 swim stops - one 20 minute snorkelling stop with great sea life and lovely warm water - we also got to try some local, fresh fruit. The second stop was out of my comfort zone quite a bit further out to sea (which was optional) but the guide was so reassuring I conquered my fear and got in! Would absolutely do this trip again and would highly recommend this trip to anyone staying in the area!

Avoid at all cost - In short, if u want a good time, stay away. It was a terrible experience, the guide just left us behind multiple times because we were not fast enough. For context, we are 2 young people, we did the same thing in portugal and were among the faster ones. We did our best to keep up with the other boat. But she (the guide) simply didn't seem to care and kept on peddeling. Only to catch up when the guide stopped to give some speech to the other couple. By the time we arrived to the group they just left again. Very frustrating to hear from the guide if we could feel our muscles burning?? What is this, a fitness test ? At one time the guide just vanished behind a corner with no sight of us or the safety for all that matters. Oh yeah and when we had our planned stop, whe had to make shore at a isolated crowded piece of beach, wich consisted of a bunch of nudists and flashy people, in wich we had to land in between to get out of our boat. Just awfull
