Paddle from Valkane with Puls Events for about three hours of kayaking, snorkeling, swimming, and supervised cliff jumping along Pula’s coast. Guides such as Erik, Stefan, and Vanya have been praised for their humor and photography. Beer, water, equipment, and GoPro photos are included. The sea cave is closed.

“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.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 86 reviews · 2 hours · from $21Best value

Cruise the Cetina River from Omiš in a quiet, cushioned glass-bottom boat with floor windows, mountain views, and wildlife sightings.

“The experience was just meh. Pretty scenery, of course but no explanation or even conversation from the guides. The harassment from the guides as you are walking around Omiš to book their tour was also not fun.”

Visit Dubrovnik Beer Company for a one-hour look at craft brewing with a guide such as brewmaster Rokko or Nikolina. You will taste four fresh beers, 1.5 dcl each, with food in the factory-style tap room. The group is small, though the stated maximum varies between 10 and 15 people.

“We've done a lot of winery tours, so it was fun to have a change of pace and do a brewery tour! Our tour guide, Nikolina, was very knowledgable and we learned a lot about beer. Plus, the tasting at the end of the tour was awesome as well! I highly recommend this tour.”
