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.

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