Review of Dubrovnik’s 5-hour Blue Cave sea safari, with speedboat rides, snorkeling, Šunj Beach, cliff jumping, drinks, and practical tips.
“This trip was one of the highlights of our family holiday so I would definitely recommend without hesitation. We were considering this or a slower trip out to a few of the islands with food and are so pleased decided on this option. The boat ride was great fun and got you to the destinations quickly and the experience once you arrived was amazing. You do need to go under the water to access one of the caves so those that need a floatation device won't be able to do that part but there are two other caves in the same location that you can explore so it's not an…”
Explore Korčula by buggy, from vineyards and beaches to homemade food and wine with Branko and Ana on this lively four-hour island tour.
“We had an absolutely fantastic time on our buggy tour around the beautiful island of Korčula! From start to finish, the hospitality was outstanding — warm, welcoming, and genuinely thoughtful. Our hosts, Branko and Ana, went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having a great time. Communication was easy and seamless, which made everything stress-free and enjoyable. The buggies were a thrilling way to explore the island’s stunning landscapes, hidden trails, and scenic viewpoints. One of the highlights was the delicious homemade food and drinks we got to enjoy. The wine, spirits, and traditional Croatian bites were top-notch — a true taste of the island’s rich…”
Review of Dubrovnik’s 3-hour ATV Safari, with mountain views, rocky trails, village roads, pickup, safety tips, price advice, and practical details.
“Was a great way to see the view and explore without crowds. We where a little slow getting going as it is more than just a gravel road haha but we got confidence up and let it rip in the end. We where the only ones in the group too so we went at our own pace. Would deffs recommend. The pick up service also was on time, air-conditioned and that's what I was like A little bit better convenient.”
Ride Vis by quad to Cold War tunnels, a WWII airfield, Mount Hum, and island viewpoints on this lively 2 to 3 hour safari.
“We would absolutely recommend this quad tour. It’s a great way to see different areas of Vis that you likely wouldn’t see otherwise (the landscape is so beautiful) including amazing views, and the old bunkers/forts. Mate our guide was helpful and make us feel safe on the bikes.”
Paddle the Cetina River from Split through cliffs, forest, and rapids on a beginner-friendly canoe safari with gear included.
“Simply the most enjoyable experience in Split. Damien was accommodating and knowledgeable. He was fun to be around. We worked hard throughout the journey, but we definitely played even harder! We get to see parts around Split that we could not have managed otherwise. Highly recommended.”
Paddle the clear Zrmanja River past waterfalls and swimming spots on a family-friendly half-day tour from Zadar.
“When we got to the meeting place, we met 3 young guides who explained everything. If you're not good with English, there's a lady who speaks Italian. The location is beautiful, but the 10 km can be a bit tiring for first-timers (like us). They'll wait for you if you fall behind. Overall, it was a great experience. Bring a beach towel, food, and drinks, and they'll be well kept in insulated boxes.”
Ride Can-Am ATVs through Konavle rivers, fields, marshes, cliffs, and villages on a Dubrovnik safari with transport and refreshments.
“I can’t recommend this enough, we had such an amazing time. It was so much fun, the views were really good at times and the ride in general is great, through deep water, fields and forests. We also rode along a cliff top path alongside the sea which was beautiful. The quad bikes themselves were also very nice, fast and comfortable. Our guide was Lorena and she was really good too, she gave us the perfect amount of information and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide, she let me and my partner know when was a good time to swap drivers as we shared a quad. Wine, water…”
Review of Korcula Buggy Official’s four-hour island tour, with scenic drives, Lumbarda beach, homemade food, wine, and practical tips.
“Ana and Branko were great hosts who took us around the island to some great spots. We drove on main roads and dirt tracks which was a lot of fun! We were told some interesting history about the island and learnt about the wine making trade. We finished the tour with a delicious feast and tried some homemade liqueur which was wonderful. Big thanks again to Ana and Branko for retrieving my phone from inside the handbrake compartment 🙈 I highly recommend and would book again!”
Paddle 11 kilometers of the Cetina River from Split, with calm water, grade II rapids, canyon views, swimming, and expert guides.
“INCREDIBLE! Ivan was an amazing guide. We were lucky enough to have him on our own. He explained every rapid and what to do. My girlfriend was nervous as she hadn’t kayaked before but he made sure she felt comfortable and was always close by. We took some lunch with us in a waterproof bag so were able to sit and have lunch on the river which was amazing. We also stopped for some swimming stops too. We left all our valuables in the van so they were safe. Ivan filmed us going down some of the rapids and took pictures which was a great extra. Would highly recommend. We…”
Review of the Cetina River water bike safari near Omiš, with route details, fitness advice, price value, safety rules, and practical tips.
“We chose to do these water bikes because we’d not done anything like this before and the experience was very different! The views of the river and canyon are a must see and we thought these bikes would be more fun than a standard boat trip. Ivan provided drinks and snacks and stayed behind while Dino was very informative and accompanied on a boat. We chose to do the 5 o’clock tour as the 2 o’clock would have been too hot and this was a good decision. I will say though, the pedalling can become hard work especially after the hour mark. There is a break half way through but…”
Watch dolphins at sunset near Brijuni National Park on a two-hour cruise from Fažana, with dinner, drinks, private tables, and Adriatic views.
“There was no guide The food was ok but not a meal A guide who told us what we saw on the way would be ok”
Pick a harbour, a wall or a waterfall.
