Itinerary
Day 1
Welcome to Istria & Afternoon Kayaking
Close
If you did not come by car but flew to Pula airport, a car rental can be arranged for you. After you check into your hotel and freshen up, your Croatia adventure begins. Aboard a double sit-on-top kayak, your experienced guide will show you some great sites. If you arrive late, then sea kayaking under the stars with underwater illumination is also available! Your guide is a local, so you can ask for advice about an evening walk and dinner - the food in Istria is fantastic.

Weather permitting, there will also be a chance for a swim or a cliff dive.
