Go your own pace, great sight seeing kayaking safari - What a great tour to take at your own pace, my guild Andre was a local born and bred lad that was completely professional and really relaxed. We visited some really secluded beaches and little villages that were former stone mines. The lunch was tasty and a generous reward to a morning of kayaking.

Best day in Korcula - We had the BEST day. The boat was perfect, water gorgeous and activities amazing. We loved the paddle boarding, snorkeling, beach club, and especially the lunch + wine. Highly recommend!

Beautiful scenery, with just enough exertion and adventure! - We had to wait for 3 years to take this holiday, as we booked pre pandemic. However, Zoran honoured our holiday and helped us to book this June. Well, I cannot praise this holiday enough - I'm reviewing this kayaking trip, but the whole holiday experience was absolutely top-class from Zoran and his staff. Honestly, THE BEST FAMILY HOLIDAY WE HAVE BEEN ON. Bar none. The sea kayaking trip we took involved our breakfast at the Captain's Villa, prepared by Zoran's wife. We had a wonderful home cooked breakfast, with banana bread, and other yogurts and fresh fruits. The trip involved setting out across the bay to an island with an old (but restored) Franciscan Monastery. Our guide, Andre, kept a good relaxed pace that my two boys (aged 11 & 10 ) and my wife were comfortable with. Andre was very knowledgeable, friendly, and good with the kids. We had a packed lunch brought for us, and plenty of water; Andre paddled with this cool bag on his kayak. We had a barrel for our stuff, so it would be kept safe and dry. After this island, we paddled out to another, with a fascinating stone quarry. The local stone has been quarried for many hundreds of years, and Andre gave us a great rundown of its properties, uses, and the history of the island's quarrying activity. We paddled back, and by this time my wife and kids were quite tired - happily, the 30-foot Rib owned by Zoran was in the bay, returning from another activity... so my wife and kids got a tow, and I paddled back. All-in-all a magical day, with lots of opportunities for swimming, snorkelling, and paddling. The home-made lunch was lovely, and the overall experience very easy to recommend. The whole holiday was excellent, and we will absolutely be back at some point. If you are considering this trip, book with confidence as you are in great hands.

Great kayaking scenery and historic sites - We were happy to find an affordable private kaying/swimming tour for a great day on the water around Korcula Island. Our guide, Andre, was friendly and skilled. He led us to both Badija and Vrnik Islands. It was challenging enough for our fit small group, but he made it clear he'd happily adjust the rigor of the paddling to our preferences, whether we needed a slower pace or a bigger challenge. It was fascinating to walk the grounds of a 14th Century monastery on Badija Island then interact with the island's tame local deer population. A quick swim and fresh fruit snack was a good refresher. The scenery was pretty on the paddle to our next stop, Vrnik Island. We toured an incredible Roman-era stone quarry. Andre was quite knowledgeable about its history (an active quarry until 1929), which included providing stone that was donated to construct the pillars in front of the U.S. White House! There was a small, quiet beach with smooth pebbles (wear water shoes, there are very few sandy beaches in the region) where we lounged after snorkeling and swimming. The water was perfectly clear and warm in August. Paddling back to the Korcula Adventures dock, we were pretty tired but ready to swim and snorkel some more. We'll definitely be back to these gorgeous islands in the Adriatic. Less touristy than Dubrovnik, which is just 2 hours away, and much better bang for the buck.

Very Nice Trip - But a bit pricey - We took this trip from a cruise ship. We were met right at the dock that the ship tender dropped us off at. We enjoyed a short (15-minute) boat ride from the dock to the kayaking location, which was actually a very pleasant surprise. Later in the day they dropped us off at the same spot. The kayaking on this trip was great. We made three stops, all on small islands that had nice areas to swim off the beach. Each section of the kayak trip was less than 40 minutes and really easy. Even the most inexperienced kayakers can do this trip. The islands were beautiful and the water was stunning. Croatia really is a hidden gem. The downside was the snorkeling...there really was not any snorkeling. There was plenty of opportunity to swim but no snorkeling gear was provided and even if it was available there were no fish or coral to speak of...but the swimming/floating was still very nice and relaxing. I was just a little disappointed that it was advertised as kayaking and snorkeling and should have been just kayaking and swimming. If the price was a little less I would also feel a bit more positive in the ratings. After we came back they provided a very nice lunch at the facility where we kayaked from (I believe this was tour owner's home). They have a very nice lunch area and the lunch was actually very good. Perhaps it was being tired from the kayaking and swimming but they had wine, cheese, meat, bread, tomatoes, vegetables that were all fresh and very good. Overall, a very nice trip. The snorkeling was a bit of a bummer but was overcome by the scenery and a great lunch. I would recommend the trip, but also shop around there are similar tours that follow the same path that may save you a few bucks.
