A very friendly man who greeted me, my wife and the other passengers personally and thus created a sense of unity among strangers. I can recommend him to anyone who wants to learn the essentials about Abbazia on a quiet, easy boat trip lasting around 75 minutes. Without stress and noise, with a glass of wine in hand at sunset close to the coast. On my next visit I will book this trip again to perhaps find out more about the history of Opatija. Many greetings to the father of the organizer who was unable to attend that day.

very good activity, the instructors are very kind and friendly, they explain very well and take their time. the view is magnificent

It was worth the money 👍🏻 the guides were super funny and knew their stuff 👍🏻 incredibly beautiful area.

We are amazed, the sensations are very good and the instructors are great! Thanks to them 😊
