3.BOAT & KAYAK! Sea Adventure – Snorkeling & Cliff Jumps

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 808 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $60Top rated

Meet Pula Kayak at Marina Polesana for a three-hour sea outing around the Muzil peninsula. After a safety briefing and boat tow, paddle past cliffs into rocky passages, stop at a secluded beach for swimming, goggles-only snorkeling, drinks, and optional jumps from roughly 4 to 9 meters. Guides such as Sule, Suad, Theo, and Denis also take photos.

“Kayaking is one of my favorite activities to do and this adventure did not disappoint. There were several kayak companies operating from this same beach and exploring the same cave, but I felt this company took the extra measures to ensure a safe and private experience. This did make it slow to get in the water, but I did not feel it cut the tour short at all. Our guide was considerate of others and took the time to ensure we had dedicated time with just our small group in the cave. He then led us away from the busy area to a more private location to jump off cliffs…”
