1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Although I loved the kayaking in Kotor Bay, Skadar Lake was the highlight of the holiday. I didn't think the trip was viable due to the weather but Sanja & Toni added an extra day when the weather improved - on the last day!2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Go with the flow and have a relaxed approach since it is a family run business and Sanja does a great deal of the organising. The holiday is also weather dependent therefore the itinerary is subject to change.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes. The operator is family business run by Sanja. Her sons and husband are actively involved plus the other people we came into contact with have worked with her for 10+ years. Accommodation & food were also organised by Sanja and provided by locals. The kayaks were based locally and not transported. In Skadar Lake local kayaks were hired.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Absolutely brilliant! Highly recommend.Kirstie Allison review 26 Jun 2023
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
There are many parts of the holiday that were memorable - Kayaking around the islands, climbing to the fort above Kotor, snorkelling and kayaking near Tivat, then chilling in a cafe near the marina. Absolutely loved it!2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Pack light, the hotel rooms within the city walls (its an ancient town) are small with little storage and wet stuff doesn't dry well as its quite humid.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes, only knowlegable local guides and the money was going back to the local community. Definitely loved the fact our environmental impact was negligible when we saw the huge cruise ships. Saw some signs of conservation but there could have been more done especially around the fort for path/steps4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Loved it despite the 'Scottish' weather. Kotor was beautiful and the kayaking was brilliant. Thank youChristine Todd review 26 Aug 2018
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The opportunity to view the area from the water. I'm not one for sitting doing nothing on holiday and the four days of Kayaking the bay, taking in different villages and sites was a wonderful experience. It was a joy to have a kayak guide who was both knowledgeable about the local area and enthusiastic to be out on the water.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Be patient! with the visiting cruise ships the town can be a little overcrowded at times and the narrow roads surrounding the towns were really not designed for the level of tourism in place so a short car trip can take a long time.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
The holiday benefited the local company, who looked after us very well. It was sad to see so much plastic rubbish on the beaches and in the water but we did out best to clear some of it on our daily paddle.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Great holiday, well organized and the kayak guides very knowledgeable and fun to be with. We wanted to make a last minute change to our final day and this was accommodated without a problem. The only drawback was not having a clear understanding how long we would be out paddling each day but I guess this depends on the conditions on the day and the abilities of the group. There was just my husband and I on our trip so were able to organize a pick up time each day to suit ourselves.Fiona Moss review 6 Aug 2016

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Our best day was our longest day kayaking on Kotor bay. The sea was as calm as a mill pond and the scenery was absolutely stunning. Toni took us to various islands and it was a really fantastic day.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
We weren't sure what to expect regarding the accommodation and meals. We had a lovely apartment just inside the old city walls. We ate in the family's restaurant each evening which had an excellent fish menu and fabulous steaks. We were given a large package of food for our breakfasts but could have eaten breakfast in the restaurant if we wished. The food they provided was a continental breakfast of bread, cheese, salami & cold meats, jam & eggs.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
The holiday was run by a local family. Their restaurant used local produce and the staff were mostly from the area.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Excellent! Sanja, Rino & their team couldn't have been more attentive and made it a fabulous holiday!Holiday Reviews
