The following itinerary should be taken as a guide only, it can be changed due to the unsuitable weather conditions. Our objective is to deliver the best possible experience for you and better options may present themselves as we go. 

The exact route depends on the weather conditions during the tour and group rhythm. This specifically can affect a day 5 and reaching Murvica and Bol town. In case of rougher weather conditions or slower pace of the groups during 5 days of the tour, we might cut the tour a bit shorter and have overnight in Blaca area before crossing the channel to island Hvar.

For credit card payments, all payments will be charged in Croatian currency Kuna (HRK). The amount your credit card account will be charged for is obtained through the conversion of the price from US Dollar, Euro or any other currency into Croatian Kuna according to the current exchange rate of the bank. For each card payment, the bank charges the commission. The agency will warn all customers before charging that banks charge a commission and allow clients to decide whether to use a credit card or not.

We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance from your country (including trip delay, trip cancellation, trip interruption, baggage and personal effects, loss or theft of money insurance) once a trip has been booked. Health, accident and emergency evacuation insurance are also strongly recommended.

If you wish Agency can provide/offer you with a Travel insurance package of one of Croatian Insurance companies.

The Agency does not accept liability if the person is not properly insured for their journey.

Without appropriate travel insurance, Customer understands and agrees that if Customer cancels or interrupts Customer’s travel for any reason, portions of the trip/tour may not be refunded and Agency and travel suppliers cancellation penalties will apply resulting in the loss of monies up to the full cost of Customer’s travel booking and related costs.

When obtaining travel insurance, the Client must ensure the insurer is aware of the type of travel to be undertaken so that the insurer may properly cover travel on the applicable Product of Agency.

We run this trip with a minimum of 2 people and a maximum of 8. In exceptional cases, the number can be up to 12 in which case we provide an extra guide. We can organize bigger groups in private arrangements only.

The level of kayaking is moderate. Each day involves 4-5 hours of paddling, so we recommend you are in good physical condition. With windy weather, the difficulty level can go up and extend kayaking time. You must be able to swim.

Usually, the sea is calm, and we are kayaking downwind using the thermal winds usually blowing from west to east. However, windy days are still possible and conditions can get challenging for beginner paddlers. Currents and tides in Croatia are minimal factors.

Previous kayaking experience is recommended, but not mandatory. A good physical fitness level can substitute lack of experience.

Split airport (SPU) is just 20 km away from our base. There are bus and taxi connections to downtown.
You can also consider alternative airports Zadar (ZAD), Dubrovnik (DBV), and even Zagreb (ZAG) from which it takes 3-5 hours to reach Split by bus. Please contact us for more details if you consider alternative airports.

The meeting point is in Split, Croatia. We recommend coming to Split one day before, as we have a briefing at our office the day before the tour. Also, Split offers a lot to see!

The Mediterranean climate here provides a lot of sun and pleasant temperatures. From May to October, the air temperature ranges from 20 to 32 degrees Celsius, while during July and August it often exceeds that number. Sea temperature usually exceeds 20 degrees in early June and reaches 26 degrees in July. During this period, it is mostly sunny, and it rarely rains.

Kuna is the official currency in Croatia. We recommend having some cash with you for payment, as some shops and restaurants might not accept credit cards in small villages. ATMs will be available almost every second day.

Absolutely, upon reservation, you will receive a questionnaire through which we receive your dietary restrictions and preferences.

Tap water is absolutely fine to drink in most of the places, but there are some minor exceptions, so please consult with your guide depending on the place. During the kayaking, our guide will have water for re-fill. We encourage you to bring your reusable water bottle for environmental reasons.

The tour departs in the morning, so we strongly recommend arriving to Split the day before the tour. The tour finishes in the late afternoon with a ferry transfer from Hvar to Split, so you might need an extra night in Split. We can assist you with accommodation arrangements if required.

Most times, you can join the tour later or leave the tour earlier, making the tour shorter for some days. Please contact us with your travel day options, and we will try to fit you in.

We strongly recommend double kayaks for beginners for speed, stability, comfort, and safety. Please see the Equipment info for more details on this. Consult our team for recommendations.

For 3 camping nights, we combine official campsites with wild camping sites, depending on availability. Official campsites have all facilities, while for wild camping nights the arrangements are very basic. We provide you with a camping package that includes a two-person tent, a sleeping bag, and a camping mattress. We recommend bringing your own sleeping bag for your own comfort.
