“Fantastic experience for our last night in Croatia! Started off with some deception as windy situation could possibly be a showstopper. But no worries, we(5 people only) had great support from Igor who guided us through the waves, although we were all newbies to SUP! Amazing views of sunset and some swimming fun concluded a perfect holiday. Thanks Igor and Mettafloat team!”

4.Kayaking to Island Saint Jerolim with snorkeling activitie

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 26 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $77

Paddle from Štinjan near Pula to Saint Jerolim in Brijuni National Park with a guide, stopping to snorkel, spot marine life, and walk among peacocks and historic remains. Kayaks, safety gear, GoPro photos, and a local beer are included. Expect about three hours on the water and shore.

“I booked with this company for an 8:30am tour on October 17th, through booking.com and they never showed up and still charged my card. Booking.com says they are a partner company and so they cannot assist with a refund so I had to refute the charge through my credit card company. This company is no longer up on booking.com since this happened. Very unfortunate since we spent an hour driving over there and waiting for them!”
