Amazing canoe adventure in nature :) - Tom took me and my husband out on the canoe in Lim Fjord and it was so much fun! It’s definitely the best way to see the Limski Canal as you are totally immersed in nature and right on the water! You get a much more intimate experience than a large tour boat. You can also channel your inner Moana ;) We explored the pirates cave bar and also the oyster farm where we had a wonderful swim and Tom packed a delicious lunch of local delicacies. I have zero experience in canoeing and even I found it super easy. Special thanks to Tom for accommodating us on one of the last bookings of the summer. We have wonderful memories and would recommend it 100%. We will be back for sure!

Great family experience - We had a fantastic experience with Tom. This is a must try adventure when in Istria. My 3 year old loved it. Would recommend my friends and family. Thank you again for a great time.

A beautiful trip - This was a fantastic way to spend a few hours in the beautiful Limski gorge. The Argo team are amazing - Tom so welcoming and helpful and Nick (an Olympic canoeist) was a powerhouse in the boat as well as filling us in on lots of history and knowledge about the canal. We did the three hour trip, which was perfect for a family with three teenagers. We went out early in the morning and the gorge was empty of all other boats and beautiful. The stop for drinks at the pirates’ cave (very busy) was welcome but the real highlight is the secluded swimming spot and picnic provided by Nick. The water is chiller than out in the sea but lovely to swim in. For anyone travelling in the area, I would advise travelling to the end of the gorge at Limski rather than just staying at the coast end around Rovinj and Vsar. The coast end is much busier and not as pretty. Three hours paddling (four us actually trying and two of the teenagers being lazier) passed in a flash and we all loved the whole trip. A big thanks to Nick and Tom for giving us such a memorable morning.

Amazing experience - An experience you must experience. The rowing, the views along the way, the silence at the oyster farm, the pirate cave, the Croatian snacks and the nice guide. All in all a very nice experience that we would not have wanted to miss.

Fantastic boat trip - Great canoe trip into Limfjorden. There were 4 of us in the canoe plus the captain, who was very nice. We paddled to the Pirate bar where there was a fantastic view and we got good drinks. On the way back there was a swim at an oyster farm. The captain also brought cold drinks, cheese and cured meats which tasted good after the paddling. Can be recomended

Great experience - We had a great trip along the Limski Canal! Very professional guides and a great way to spend some time on the water. Picknick at the Oysterfarm was truly amazing with no one there, so quiet! Also great with kids. Would definitely recommend this trip!

Unique and super fun experience! - A really great experience! And the guides, so enthusiastic and passionate about sailing. Adventurers who are clearly having a good time themselves. Beautiful clear sea. Unfortunately no dolphins were seen. Good for the arm muscles! You go to places you wouldn't otherwise go, that makes it unique.

Amazing experience on beautiful crystal clear water. - These guys are great at what they do! If you want an awesome time on crystal blue water and to see an awesome cave along the way, this is for you. Very fair pricing and was an amazing experience paddling with two of Croatia’s best athletes. We stopped along the way for very nice chats. Heck, we even seen the Merman of Lim Canal!! I know I know unbelievable. 10/10 experience here.❤️🤘🏼😎
