jonask671, Jul 2026

Beautiful trip and great service from the tour guides!

A great trip with awesome and attentative service from start to finish, especially our guide from Peru was top notch friendly and very knowledgeable. Swimming was cool and for all levels in crystal clear water (we are a family with three small children), the food was surprisingly good and we could have all the soft drinks as well as beers as we wanted.Beautiful trip, great getaway, definetly don’t miss the dinosaur footsteps at the small island stop.10/10 would do again. Thanks.

Boat Trip Croatia 2026

We had a really great day out on the water. Snorkeling into the sea cave in the first bay was fantastic, and the small island stop was ideal—tons of fish in the water and a cool little spot to grab a bite and a drink. Even when a thunderstorm popped up, the crew handled it brilliantly and kept everyone relaxed and safe. The kids had a total blast. Definitely recommended!

Beautiful Sunset Kayaking Experience in Rovinj

This kayaking tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Rovinj and a fantastic way to experience this beautiful city from a completely different perspective.The guide was excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and very good at adapting the trip to suit our abilities, making it feel fun and enjoyable rather than challenging or tiring. The small group size made the experience feel personal, relaxed and the quality of the kayaking equipment was excellent.Paddling along the coastline, exploring the bay, and relaxing on the water while watching the sun set was a truly memorable experience. It also provided fantastic opportunities for photos and a unique view of Rovinj’s stunning scenery.A wonderful experience and highly recommended for anyone visiting Rovinj. It was the perfect combination of gentle adventure, beautiful views and a relaxing way to enjoy this amazing coastal town.

A 10/10 experience

I went truffle hunting with my family and the experience could not have been better. There the people are supper hospitable and nice, always happy and answering our questions, and the food could not be better. The truffles are fresh and the meals are deliciously prepared local products. In the end the experience was incredible, I would recommend it without hesitation.

Sunset sailing, dolphins & fantastic trip!

Had an absolutely fantastic boat trip around the Pula coast with Sale Istria! There were eight of us plus Captain Pavao, and he made the whole evening so special from start to finish.Captain Pavao was brilliant - super friendly, relaxed, and clearly loves what he does. He took us out to a beautiful swimming spot, and we were lucky enough to spot dolphins along the way, which was such a magical moment. As the sun started to set, he put on some perfect chilled-out music and raised the sails, and honestly the views were incredible.There was so much to do on board - some of the group went snorkeling, others had a go on the paddleboard, and the boys in our group did some cliff jumping, which they absolutely loved. We got some brilliant GoPro footage of it all too.To top it off, we were treated to an authentic Istrian platter with drinks, which was a really lovely touch and gave the evening a proper local feel.It was relaxed, fun, and full of laughter from start to finish - genuinely one of the highlights of our whole trip. Great company, great food, great music, and an amazing captain. Couldn’t recommend Sale Istria highly enough!

Unique experience

What a fun and unique experience! You can really tell that family business is run with a lot of love. The dogs are well cared for. We went into the forest with Sky and in no time he had found a truffle! Then there was delicious cooking for us. I wouldn't have missed this for the world.

Fun in the kayak

The paddling route ran along the coast. For people who are not athletic and people with back problems, the duration or the constant right-angled sitting position can become strenuous. For everyone else, it is a beautiful experience

The ultimate truffle experience

Some experiences deserve to be on everyone's bucket list. Truffle hunting in Istria is one of them. At Agriturismo Miro, we spent the morning wandering through Motovun forest with Miro and his magnificent dogs Jacqui and Lila . Golden Istrian light broke through towering oaks, the kind of silence where every twig and every rustle feels like part of the hunt and then, the thrill: a deep hole in the earth, dogs digging furiously, and a race against time to claim the truffle before he did. Back at the hilltop table in Motovun, the real magic continued. Petra and Maya waited for us with antipasti, truffle eggs. homemade bread, chocolate truffle mascarpone cake and Istrian wines and brandy to finish it. Watching truffles shaved over each dish felt like watching an artist with their favourite brush - a small masterpiece on every plate. The aroma alone could fill a thousand words. But some things you simply have to taste to understand. 🐾🖤

Pula Cave Sunset and Night Tour in Transparent Kayak

susannemJ4691DJ, Jun 2026

Great experience ❤️

Absolute highlight! Really top for the price. The guides were very nice and funny, and they paid attention to the safety of the participants. The sunset over the sea was dreamy ❤️ The dry bags were large enough to store a backpack. It is best to wear swimwear and not forget a change of clothes & towel. We were soaking wet afterward - but it was truly worth it!
