We had to wait for 3 years to take this holiday, as we booked pre pandemic. However, Zoran honoured our holiday and helped us to book this June. Well, I cannot praise this holiday enough - I'm reviewing this kayaking trip, but the whole holiday experience was absolutely top-class from Zoran and his staff. Honestly, THE BEST FAMILY HOLIDAY WE HAVE BEEN ON. Bar none.
The sea kayaking trip we took involved our breakfast at the Captain's Villa, prepared by Zoran's wife. We had a wonderful home cooked breakfast, with banana bread, and other yogurts and fresh fruits.
The trip involved setting out across the bay to an island with an old (but restored) Franciscan Monastery. Our guide, Andre, kept a good relaxed pace that my two boys (aged 11 & 10 ) and my wife were comfortable with. Andre was very knowledgeable, friendly, and good with the kids.
We had a packed lunch brought for us, and plenty of water; Andre paddled with this cool bag on his kayak. We had a barrel for our stuff, so it would be kept safe and dry.
After this island, we paddled out to another, with a fascinating stone quarry. The local stone has been quarried for many hundreds of years, and Andre gave us a great rundown of its properties, uses, and the history of the island's quarrying activity.
We paddled back, and by this time my wife and kids were quite tired - happily, the 30-foot Rib owned by Zoran was in the bay, returning from another activity... so my wife and kids got a tow, and I paddled back.
All-in-all a magical day, with lots of opportunities for swimming, snorkelling, and paddling. The home-made lunch was lovely, and the overall experience very easy to recommend.
The whole holiday was excellent, and we will absolutely be back at some point. If you are considering this trip, book with confidence as you are in great hands.
