About this experience

This is a locally guided kayak tour through the beautiful nature of the Krka river estuary.

Local use to say that in this area "Krka is kissing the sea"! The water is brackish (mixed sea and river water) and because of that, the biosphere is special.

Our tour is adapted for beginners with no paddling experience. It lasts about 4 hours, but we will paddle for about two hours. Most of the time we will explore around the St Joseph channel, have a swimming break and option of snorkelling and cliff jumping.

This area is known and famous for shell farms. Visiting a shell farm and tasting some fresh mussels is a unique experience on this trip.
Many celebrate like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg. Michael Jordan, Prince Harry, Kim Kardashian and others sailed this route on their mega-yachts. With us, you will enjoy a more natural sightseeing experience than they had.
