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!

Everything was great - I recommend ordering an evening, as you will meet the sunset on the water. However, there can be bigger waves, which was a plus for my company, as we love extremes

Kayaking trip with local lad Miro! - A kayaking trip from Makarska Harbour to Nugal Beach with the local lad Miro, a „what-you-see-is-what-you-get“ kind of a chap! You ask him, and he will clarify in a way one can only wish one could be explained by a guide in a foreign land! He took all the time to meticulously inform us of the nuances of the beautiful locality and the wonderful Croatian people! Miro was highly knowledgeable, yet down-to-earth, who added his anectodes to help us understand the way the lovely people of Croatia live their lives! He then motivated our daughter to even try cliff-jumping for the first time, a feat I could have never achieved had I tried to motivate her myself! We can highly recommend you to take up the trip with Miro if you are looking for a professional, yet friendly personnel to guide you through your excursions/ventures when in Makarska!

An active tour! - Very friendly and accommodating guide. Great cliff jumping opportunity. Guide made sure we stopped to appreciate the sunset. Very timely about tour length. A fast-paced tour for sure. Guide set a fast pace, so not super leisurely at all. Expect to move and not stay together as a group, but guide probably needs to cover territory in a certain amount of time. Not sure the whole water front needs to be covered. Morning tour may be more calm but probably hotter so trade offs for which tour taken.
