Adriatic Odyssey was just that..! It was my first ever real paddle across the seas and had an AMAZING 16 days..! I would highly recommend it to anyone. Yogi and Bafo did an outstanding job with their expertise, professionalism and knowledge of Croatia and Sea Kayaking..! Thank you so very much , see you on the next paddle adventure..!

The Croatia trip by boat and kayak was fantastic. Jogi and his crew went out of their way to accommodate the wishes of everyone. The food was great and plentiful. The fact that we had a boat,meant we were able to do both the north and South Islands and move around to different spots if the weather was no good in one area. The cabins were comfortable and we were not lacking in anything. Good value for money and I would recommend it to anyone. Having local crew and captain made the trip totally hassle-free. Would do it again.

I wanted to let you know what an excellent trip I've had, and how much I appreciated Jogi's organization, adaptability, personality, and responsibility - the trip as it panned out could not have been better, and I am sure we saw more of Croatia than expected; he did do a great job in the face of weather issues. Jogi is very impressive with his good humor and apparent unflappability - I have a new word, pomelo - in Croatian it seems to mean chill out, slow down, don't worry, it will all be OK - and it was. Jogi's family, including his father Gino, are all very generous and hospitable. Thanks for everything, Best regards, Wendy Cull PS Guide number 2, Pato, was a bonus. Apart from the paddling, he took us on some terrific sightseeing walks, and a great hike.

The trip was great, both the guides were fabulous, especially Jogi. We were all disappointed that the weather didn't co-operate, but I think Jogi took it the hardest. I know I appreciated his safety first attitude, and the fact that he worked so hard to rejig the trip for us. He's very knowledgeable about Croatia, and made the trip really interesting. But the bottom line is that he's a really nice person, and I enjoyed having him as a guide. I'd absolutely recommend this trip to anyone! Pato was also great, he's really kind, and I enjoyed his company as well. Basically, this was another fantastic SSV trip with wonderful guides. Thanks so much to everyone!

The trip was fantastic! Jogi and Luca are excellent guides and handled the complications of changing weather very well. It actually made for a very interesting trip to get to do more hiking and caving. Thanks for all of the help and looking forward to our next trip, whenever that is. Cheers, Frank

I give a RAVE REVIEW ! Barbara and I had a great Croatia experience with no hiccups. We started in Dubrovnik and zig zaged our way by road up to Split, did the stint on board the Vila Vrgade. True to the SSV (our partners) description the Croatia Kayak/Sail experience was a true Adventure although, we didn't get to sail. Jogi was a very capable and caring leader who excelled in his kayaking skills and guided us to so many interesting places throughout our trip. He displayed an excellent knowledge of the geography, history and culture of the country and was thoroughly entertaining particularly when on-board and "playing off" (interacting) with the skipper. The Vila Vrgade was ideally suited to our needs and was very comfortable. Being an older boat it made us feel true adventurers and not tourists on a modern plastic boat. The Master Dean and this wife Tina were wonderful hosts. He was a competent seaman and managed the boat very skillfully and Tina was a very capable crew with amazing skills in the galley. We were dished up some loverly meals with plenty of variety. The relationship between Jogi and the crew of the Vila Vrgade was professional and displayed a strong bond. We had a great holiday and thought the trip was great value . I have given a friend your brochure, who is keen to do your trip. Thanks for organising the trip. Best Regards ...Graeme Cox

We’ve been wanting to sea kayak in Croatia for some time and decided to go with a small, local company rather than a large tour operator. What a great decision that was! The 8-day expedition to the Kornati Islands with Sea Kayak Adventure completely lived up to its promise. It was, in every respect, a fabulous adventure. Our guide, Bafo, became more than just an excellent leader, he became a friend as did the other people in our small group. The kayaking was superb, despite some ‘weather’ and the scenery was breath taking. You need to be someone who can cope with roughing it a bit to do this trip as the camping facilities are basic yet entirely adequate. For us, this was just part of the whole experience and simply added to the sense of adventure. The supplied equipment was very good quality, but we took a pair of extra thick sleep mats, which was a good idea. We’re definitely up for another trip.

Thanks so much for sharing Lopar with us on a wonderful one-day trip. It was a great introduction to sea kayaking for our 8-year-old, and being able to see the secluded beaches and slower pace of the "hidden" Croatia was wonderful. I feel restored after just one day, so I am hoping to join you on a multi-day trip in the future!
