“We booked this adventure very last minute, and despite that, Julie was very helpful in confirming our reservation and providing us with our skipper’s information. Noticed the previous comment about confusing meet up spot. They must’ve listened to that feedback, because the communication we received was spot on and very helpful. We were given our skipper’s WhatsApp number and a clear picture and description of where to meet. During the tour our skipper, Lovre, was amazing and knowledgable. He showed us off-the beaten path spots during our tour, and even stopped to allow us to eat lunch at a place he recommended. He was great to converse with, and excellent…”

“5 stars! Small inflatable speedboat for just the 2 of us. Swam in 3 secluded spots off the boat with crystal clear water. Stop for coffee/drink at a cute little village, and then a further stop in another quaint village for a delicious seafood feast (extra cost). Easy dealing with the company, easy meeting point etc. Lovre our guide was great company and gave us lots of interesting insights into local life, culture and cuisine. It was exactly what we were looking for - felt off the beaten track, away from other tourists, swimming just the two of us, and some cute non touristy villages. We both loved it and…”
