Too many to choose from, it was all amazing!
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Make sure you are fit and injury free!

Yes!
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
It was an amazing holiday. Fantastic scenery, amazing activities and very friendly and helpful guides. I would totally recommend this holiday to anyone seeking and adventure. The only negative was that the accommodation in Slovenia was a bit dated, and had very uncomfortable single and not double beds. However, the food and accommodation in Croatia was fantastic!

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
It's hard to pick one memorable part of this holiday - the combination of the activities, the excellent local knowledge and the good humour and friendliness of the other guests ensured that the whole experience was excellent. On the other hand the look of sheer exhilaration and joy on people's faces as they free wheeled down the long steep hill at the end of the mountain biking day, or tubed down the river at high speed are hard to forget! Add to that relaxed evenings with good food and company while the teenagers enjoyed themselves wandering around the safe streets of Kas and it all comes together as a truly enjoyable break.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Good waterproof shoes, shorts with a loose waistband (the food is good!), and lots of suncream. If you're uncertain about an activity it's still worth having a go. The guides are experienced and helpful and everyone in our group ended up doing and enjoying everything. Be aware that it is HOT in Turkey in mid summer. All the activities take this into account, but if you don't enjoy warm weather, choose another time of year!
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
Generally speaking yes, though I am aware that I flew a long way to get there and there was a certain amount of driving to get to the activities. We did stop at local tea shops and restaurants and were encouraged to minimize our impact on the environment wherever possible.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
It was an excellent holiday. This is the first time I've done an organised activity holiday and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My two children (12 and 14) had a great time and made excellent bonds with the others in the group and had a chance to have a little more independence than they normally do when it's just the family. I would thoroughly recommend the experience to anyone!

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Kayaking - particularly being pushed off a rock 6 foot into the water!
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Go for it - it will be one of the best trips you ever take. Make sure you take lots of clothes - they will get dirty, wet and stinky! Also take ear plugs and mosquito repellent!
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
Yes, both activity companies were locally owned, and the activities run with little environmental impact.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Fantastic!!!!
