Boris went above and beyond bringing these wonderful islands to life. It was a perfect balance of historical facts, time for swimming and kayaking at a good pace for our entire group. He added extras that weren’t on the itinerary for us to snack on and was generally very attentive. He also gave us a lift to the supermarket so we had enough water. This was our favourite day trip and activity of the holiday.

An excellent means of transport for spending a day on 3 islands with the choice of how long to stay on each. The taxi runs every hour from 9 a.m., at 10 on the 1st, 20 on the 2nd and around 30 on the 3rd for a return to the port around 40/45. Each island has its charm and allows walking and swimming. In short, practical and nice (but be careful, no guide, the driver only drives his boat quickly and well)

This tour was amazing! Boris is brilliant - we had the best day on the sea with delicious wine and cakes and some great history. Excellent value for money, you won’t regret it!

This was certainly the highlight of our 12 day exploring and holiday period in Croatia. Boris who is the guide but also the owner is standout the best guide we had.

Fantastic day! We loved the deer on the island of Badija and the sea swimming on Vrnik and Stupe was absolutely lush. Would definitely recommend this trip!
