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!

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

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.
