1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The activities were great, our favourite was a hike in the evening from the highest point on Brac island to a shepherds village for a traditional meal. This was not included in the main holiday but was the highlight for us. Otherwise, kids loved the SUPs and parents, the mountain biking.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
You do need some moderate fitness to be able to do all the activities, and I wouldn't recommend it for families with non-active kids. That said, there was the option for some of the activities, particularly the bike riding, to join the support (party?) van if the hills and heat got too much. You will definitely benefit from water shoes as the beaches are all pebbles, which get hot, and there are some sharp stones in the water, all the locals wear them. You can buy them at local shops for 50 - 80 Kuna if you don't have them already.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes, because the operator are helping their local partner on Brac to educate young people on environmental issues, such as recycling etc. We all supported the local businesses buying food and drink and beach essentials.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Excellent - kids said it was the best holiday ever, they made new friends, as did we. Very keen to do a similar holiday next year with the operator. The tour guides, Daniel and Russell and their colleagues were great, and helped make it a fantastic holiday.Alison French review 25 Aug 2018

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The holiday was very memorable for us as a family, we all loved the area, the activities and the apartment - our other two families on our group were really nice and we were well looked after.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Don't forget your wet shoes although you can buy these almost everywhere. I would also check when you book how large your group will be, for the majority of the holiday, and for the activities as well. On some days we were linked to a larger group which meant that some of the activities took a little bit longer.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes I do think so, the groups who organised the activities would have benefitted from our bookings / also the restaurants as well, and local drivers.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
I would give our holiday a 4 - we all really enjoyed it and fell in love with Croatia, such an amazing place - we'd all love to go again.Natasha Osorio review 12 Aug 2017

Three family members say rock climbing, and one says paddle boarding was there highlight.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Be prepared3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes it benefited local people. We also liked the fact that you provide bikes to move around and that using cars/transport is unessesary.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Daniel and Mario are not just guides or representatives, they are extremely given to the job and have great instinct with peoples abilities and kids needs. They give more than just ‘the activity’. They are knowledgeable and happy to share the information. Above all they have a great sense of humour. Etti and everyone else from the office were just kind, professional and always ready to help. Lucy on sea kayaking was also very kind and helpful. Thank you all for a great week.Mark Davey review 30 Jul 2016
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Everything was memorable. For me the most exciting part was maybe the visit to Vidova gora and Sheppard’s Village for lamb supper, but also the friendliness of the staff and Croatian people in general.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
“Just do it!” as Daniel would say! The company lives up to their name. It is the best way to enjoy lots of activities, see the country & keep the kids occupied.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes, it certainly did. It used local agencies and we’ve visited local families to see their way of life.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Fabulous! Some of the most enjoyable weeks we have had on holiday – helped of course by the other guests and the staff!Susanne Mirza review 23 Jul 2016

Mountain biking down with breathtaking views of the sea.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
The standard of the activities and organisation is absolutely brilliant, unbeatable. The accommodation was less phenomenal (fine, but just not exemplary).3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes I did - there were four or five people we met at the agency, all of whom were Croatian.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Jumping into the freezing source water after a bike ride in intense heat! That was an amazing feeling. And also the canyoning, rafting and really all the activities were fantastic. We had a wonderful holiday.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Go for it! You need to be averagely fit, and able to stand fairly intense heat if you go in the summer. It's a great holiday for families, especially with teenagers.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Certainly, the hotel we stayed in was occupied only by our group while we were there. Our guides Barisha and Maria were wonderful, attentive and available at all hours to help us.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Excellent! We hope to come again and do it all over!Holiday Reviews
