“My wife and I spent an amazing morning kayaking around Pula with Stefan and Vanya. They brought along some great photography equipment and enthusiastically "directed" us into some amazing shots. This included cliff jumping with great still shots and some video. The pictures and videos were promptly posted to a sharing website where we downloaded all the pictures from the trip. They were very attentive to everyone's needs during the entire trip and made sure everyone was well taken care of. We highly recommend his kayaking trip and would eagerly do this again on a future trip to Croatia.”

We saw alligators, lots of bird life and turtles, as well as eagle nests pointed out by Katrina. It was so beautiful to explore natural Florida, and Bru after was the perfect place to experience the local town of Tavares. We felt so welcomed and the beer samples were delicious, we even bought some to take home.”
