Highlights
You will be embraced by stunning nature and get some local tips and tricks you would not get elsewhere. We will start kayaking next to restaurant Lavander and paddle towards the east. The first stop will be the lighthouse, St. Peter, from the 19th century where you will learn some interesting history lessons. Then we will continue around St. Peter and Osejava peninsulas and get close to their spectacular cliffs. The only smell you will encounter is the one from the crystal clear water and the pine trees. Our trip continues all the way to Nugal and neighboring hidden beaches. You will have time to take a big break, have a delicious snack, and explore the area snorkeling.

5Fantastic Morning
Fantastic experience with a great guide. The tour was tailored to our abilities and gave a great view of Makarska from the sea. The stop off to snorkel at the bay was an added bonus. Enjoyed by all the family and would highly recommend. Great communication throughout.
5Amazing Experience
10/10 Experience! Beautiful coastline and beaches, friendly tour guides, snorkeling, cliff jumping and lots of fun. What more could you ask for. Would highly recommend booking if you are visiting Makarska. A highlight for sure! 😍😁
1Avoid at all cost
In short, if u want a good time, stay away. It was a terrible experience, the guide just left us behind multiple times because we were not fast enough. For context, we are 2 young people, we did the same thing in portugal and were among the faster ones. We did our best to keep up with the other boat. But she (the guide) simply didn't seem to care and kept on peddeling. Only to catch up when the guide stopped to give some speech to the other couple. By the time we arrived to the group they just left again. Very frustrating to hear from the guide if we could feel our muscles burning?? What is this, a fitness test ? At one time the guide just vanished behind a corner with no sight of us or the safety for all that matters. Oh yeah and when we had our planned stop, whe had to make shore at a isolated crowded piece of beach, wich consisted of a bunch of nudists and flashy people, in wich we had to land in between to get out of our boat. Just awfull
5GREAT EXPERIENCE, EASY TO BOOK
Me and My Fiancé were located at the Dalmacija Hotel and were looking for a great trip nearby. Lucky for us Riviera Outdoors is right next to the hotel. Easy to reach,next to the Lavender Restaurant and only 45 € p.p. We got the booking confirmation like 20 Minutes after we paid and our guide politely asked us through the mail address and via phone if it was possible for us to go on that trip with them one day earlier because the weather would be better. Of course we said. When we arrived at 8:15 we just had to wait like 20 more minutes, got some information and equipment for the Tour and we started to paddle. Our Guide was very friendly, told us a lot about the history or Makarska and the buildings/church while we passed them. After 1h Hour we were snorkeling at the Nagal beach. (Snorkeling masks were included if you didnt have) Beautiful Beach, great to take pictures and relax. After that we made our way back home. There was a possibility to cliff jump and one of our paddle buddies took it. Was fun to watch and we headed our way back home. So all in all great experience, cheap and friendly. Would reccommend 10/10
5A great excursion
The booking was made last minute but the team were helpful and answered all my queries promptly. The guide was polite and had a natural way with encouraging my three teens to jump from the cliff edge with confidence. He was effective in trying to help us with our kayaking technique without being overbearing. I would definitely recommend this tour the calm sea and warm weather provide the perfect conditions for this activity.

About Makarska
Makarska is a Dalmatian seaside town beneath the Biokovo mountains, with a pebble bay, a palm-lined promenade and a long riviera of beaches.
Makarska lies on a wide bay on the Dalmatian coast, sheltered by a wooded peninsula and backed by the grey limestone wall of the Biokovo mountains. The small old town centres on Kačić Square, where the church of St Mark stands, and a palm-lined promenade follows the harbour past cafés and fishing boats. The Franciscan monastery holds a museum of sea shells.
