As a first time solo traveller, I was a little nervous to begin with. Pick up as planned from McDonald’s Zadar. Upon arriving at location you were offered wetsuits/water shoes if required. Then also provided with helmets & life jackets. I was paired with another member of our party (quite a large group) the whole activity was good fun, the guides were informative and despite the large numbers of our group, ensured we all were kept together. The route was good, easy for beginners & still had the thrill seeker buzz for people who have had previous experience. We stopped for 30 min break for our lunch and a chance to swim. Towards the end there was an option to either kayak down waterfall or jump… unfortunately you can’t do both. You & partner have to decide between yourselves who’s doing what! That was the only downfall as both me and the person I was paired with wanted to go down the waterfall. Thankfully the guide offered his kayak for me to use! Fully recommend!

Really good!!! The duration and everything around it was just perfect. A great trip for a few hours 👌🏼 Perfect for swimming with the turtles etc. Absolutely recommended 💯

Very nice kayak tour with beautiful nature and crystal clear water. Bring your own drinks and food/snacks! Would book this tour again!

The tour was amazing! Beautiful nature and a great route!

One of the best experiences, in which I took part!
