“Our guide Igor was waiting for us when we got off the ship. After a ride through the hills of Kotor we arrived at our destination. The kayaking was great. We were able to go into a couple of great caves. Some of the hardier (dumber) kids did some swimming in the cave. It was great to do something more active after sitting on a cruise ship. Highly recommend.”

“Highly recommended! Amazingly beautiful views, great conversations and refreshingly active. It was so easy to communicate with Milija and his instructions were very clear. I really enjoyed hearing from him a lot about what life is like in Montenegro but also getting some historical context and information on the region. We kayaked on quite a wavy day (the previous day was very rainy) so it was physically quite hard, however on calm days I would believe it can be done by people in moderate shape as well. I highly recommend this activity!!!”
