Kayak tour in Pula

Why paddle

A kayak takes you where boats cannot go: into shallow coves, beneath cliffs and close to the entrance of sea caves. It suits beginners and experienced paddlers, and it fits neatly into a day that also includes a boat excursion or a cave swimming tour.

Four places to paddle

Cape Kamenjak

South of Pula near Premantura: clear water, sea caves, cliffs and quiet coves.

Galebove stijene

Seagull Rocks near the centre of Pula, in Stoja: caves and tunnels you can paddle into.

Medulin archipelago

Small islands, sandy beaches and shallow warm water, ideal for a full day with swimming stops.

Lim Bay

A fjord-like inlet about 40 minutes north of Pula, surrounded by cliffs and forest.
