1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The most memorable part of the trip was hanging out on the boat with the other travellers and the captain's sense of humour throughout the trip.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Bring some good water shoes that double as walking shoes and anything you'd like to use for swimming like snorkel gear (can be purchased in the grocery store nearby before you leave), floaties, balls, etc. Also, be open and flexible as the schedule may switch around a bit.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
We definitely felt like the trip benefited locals and was way better for the environment than a cruise ship, especially when we were using wind power to sail.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
This trip was just absolutely amazing and we would highly recommend it.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The kayaking trip. It was so exhilarating going down waterfalls and enjoying the beautiful scenery.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Don't overpack! The company will provide you with all the equipment you need, including wetsuits and boots for the water activities. I went with a relatively small group (there were 10 of us) and we were all physically pretty fit and tended to go at a fair pace during kayaking and mountain biking, so I would say that a certain level of fitness would help you to get the best out of the activities.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
We shopped locally for food and the guide was always aware of our surroundings and the people around us.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Excellent! One of the best holidays I've ever had. I felt safe at all times and our guide was absolutely superb. I came back feeling refreshed and like I'd had a proper break from my life in the city.

One of the best holidays I have been on! Perfect combination of relaxing and activities. We have been to places that you would never come across as a normal tourist and got the chance to sample some amazing food, all in all an excellent trip and I would highly recommend it.
Tara Gancos review 12 Aug 2011
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The whole experience was amazing. We did such a variety of activities - hiking, biking, kayaking, swimming, snorkelling, sailing. We loved the diversity of experiences. It was fabulous! Croatia is SO beautiful and the people are wonderful. I think the best part of booking through this tour opertaor was access to local people. We ate the BEST home-cooked meals at local fishermen and farmers' houses. It was very special!
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Do it!
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
Yes. Absolutely. Many of our meals were eaten at local people's homes, so we paid them directly for their hospitality and food. We were also able to recycle our bottles while on the boat, which we appreciated.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
It was excellent!

If you are travelling alone be aware the group may change along the way and you may be left with no ' group ' for company. Out of the 7 day trip I had 3 days of solitude!
Liz and David Knight review 3 Jul 2005
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
We had a great holiday (one of our best - and we have a lot!!). The most exciting part was snorkelling into a cave whose entrance was only just on the waterline; the most memorable, difficult to say - the company (our group of 6 really gelled), the places we visited (that you can really only get to in a kayak), the islands and their people themselves......
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
This operator were not always the most proactive at communication and we had to chase them on occasion for simple things like, 'is our booking confirmed?' Having said that, everything worked out as it should and it was all 'as advertised' on their website. Our guide, Dom, was excellent.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
Yes we did. We stayed in local rooms (very comfortable), ate at the local restaurants (very well), drank the local wine, used the local transport, shopped for picnics at the local shop etc. As we were kayaking with a bike ride thrown in, it couldn't have been more environmentally friendly.
4. Any other comments?
I hope this feedback is useful. It really was a memorable holiday. We all vowed not to tell too many people about the area so that it doesn't get spoilt but, being realistic it will get even more popular and I guess our advice would be to go sooner rather than later. Thanks for requesting the feedback. We hope to use your website in the future.
