Just the sea and you and your kayak. Great experience. Would definitely recommend whether solo or with someone else.
3This is not a guided tour- Its a Private self directed tour
Read the fine print. This is a self directed tour, even though it says Private tour in the title- It is Not guided. We were escorted by one of the staff on the way to the islands due to wind, The staff said they will either come get us or we will be fine to go back by ourselves at the end of our trip. They messaged us and said we will be fine on our own and gave us navigation instructions via WhatsApp. The winds were incredibly strong, waves were big and you are crossing a large straight of water with big boats/ferries that for certain were not able to see us. It felt very unsafe and un-necessary risk when they could have sent a staff to pick us up as previously discussed. Thankfully we are both young and fit but it was definitely a physical challenge with the wind and waves. When we voiced it felt unsafe upon our return our concerns were not met with understanding and felt like they were brushed off our concerns. So if you sign up for this- pls ensure you have ocean experience and know how to navigate larger bodies of water. The actual islands are beautiful and worth seeing- but pls ensure you only pick this one if you have ocean experience. We did vocalize we only have kayak experience on lakes- so that was also disappointing the staff didn't not consider that with offering to pick us up afterwards and the change in weather. Once we were there the islands were so lovely to wander and swim in the coves.
5Beautiful views from the water
It is so lovely being able to see the surrounding islands of Hvar by kayak. We loved the freedom that we had to explore at our own pace - not having to follow a guide. Our one tip is BRING CASH!! We stopped at an island for lunch which was cash only, so don’t get stuck not having any. The beaches were all safe to swim and having borrowed some snorkeling gear was very helpful. We had a fantastic day!

5Absolute Highlight of Our Trip! Highly Recommend!
We loved our Private Half-Day Kayak Experience! Our guide was so kind, warm, and friendly. Even though they didn't paddle out with us, they did a fantastic job explaining everything beforehand, ensuring we were completely comfortable and knew exactly where to go. They also gave us a great lunch recommendation featuring home-grown delicacies. We highly recommend this tour!
