Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Beautiful clear waters and quiet beaches. We hired our gear for a self guided tour. Yogi gave clear information on where we could stop each night and kept in touch to let us know about the weather forecasts and advisability on paddling. All in all an enjoyable tour visiting lots of interesting places.

My partner and I enjoyed a mini-break to Rab Island for 3 days of self-guided sea kayaking. Excellent service from Sea Kayak Croatia, and everything went very smoothly from being collected at the ferry, to getting kitted out, accommodation, daily advice and being collected at the end. A transfer back to Zadar airport was also organised for us. Thanks again for a wonderful 3 days! :-)

We had such a great time with Dominic (our guide from Sea Kayak Croatia) and made new friends from Germany and Slovenia.
The trip was extremely well organised: we met over dinner the night before departure and sorted out kayaks and kit which made departure easy and free of delay. We set off from Rab island, up the west coast to wild-camp near Lopar on the first day. Excellent and plentiful food provided each day, freshly cooked by Dominic: breakfast being muesli, yoghurt, fresh fruit, dried fruit, milk, orange juice and coffee. Lunches mainly cheese / salami and bread accompanied by freshly made salad of lettuce, tomato, cucumber, red onion, olives, mixed herbs and olive oil, also fruit/biscuits. Dinners varied: we ate in restaurants on two nights (I had tuna steak and my husband had grilled calamari; on the second occasion we had really excellent pizzas), Dominic cooked a variety of pasta dishes with either a cheese or tomato base - all freshly made. We visited the islands of Sveti Grigr, Prevc, Krk and Plavik (saw Griffin vultures on the last island). Interesting places and Dominic knows a lot of the history. Finished our tour in Valbiska and we caught the ferry back to Lopar as we were hiring kayaks to continue our journey independently.
This outfit is great, well organised and supplies maps and daily (sometimes hourly) weather information to keep you safe - there are strong winds called the Bura in the area (catabatic winds off the mountains) which cannot be underestimated but we felt quite safe as Jogi kept in touch as promised with suggestions for when and where to paddle safely after our guided tour had finished. Hope to return, maybe with friends from our sea kayaking club in the future. Thank you Dominic and Jogi

The team at Sea Kayak Croatia made our group feel very welcome and gave us an amazing holiday and adventure. With their personal touch and flexibility, they ensured we had the best possible experience. On top of their kayaking skills, they shared their cultural and historical knowledge as well as being funny and great fun!

My boyfriend and I booked a selfguided tour for 4 days this summer and feel blessed to have stumbled across Yogi (the owner) and his team. The nature on Rab is breathtaking, especially, if you get to see it from the water. I absolutely fell in love with this island. Since we already had kayaking experience, we felt very safe, even though we happened to have quite windy days on the water. But Yogi stayed in contact with us the entire time and guided us via WhatsApp, where it’s best to go next considering the current weather situation, or where we can find the most beautiful hidden beaches :) highly recommend sea kayak Croatia expeditions :) what a great adventure!

We had a perfect week with sea kayak Croatia tour. Yogi and his guys were absolutely professional and very friendly. Every morning we had a briefing for the current day. His wife, Sanella with their wonderful 3 daughters, cooked for all our group (17 people). Beware guys, I think next year we will come back!!👍👍

This was an amazing 5 day trip around the island of Rab - so peaceful and relaxing kayaking on the clear water, watching fish swim underneath and sea cucumbers lying on the sea bed. The contrast between the lush holm oak forest on the west and north of the island with the sheer cliffs of limestone in all its shapes and shades on the east coast made each day a new experience. The only other person on my tour was very knowledgeable about birdlife, so was able to alert us to golden oriels, blue rock thrush and wheatears alongside the elegant terns swooping for the small fish in the shallow water and the shags who would dive and surface endlessly in front of us rather than let us past. We even spotted dolphins swimming in the bay one afternoon. Our guide, Dominic, was so well acquainted with all aspects of the island and so passionate about it that he was a delight to listen to. He also prepared tasty, nutritious food for us 3 times a day and knew just when we needed a break on a beach for a swim or a snooze or to just stretch our legs, whilst all the time being aware of safety issues, consulting weather reports at regular intervals as the Bora wind was blowing for the first 2 days, meaning that we had to retrace our route along the west coast on the second day. Not an issue though as the scenery was completely different going in the opposite direction. Yogi made everything so easy with his 'nothing is too much trouble' approach. I couldn't get to the island until the afternoon of the day the tour started, so he collected me from the ferry, drove me to his house to collect the kayak and leave my suitcase and then took me to where the others had got to for the first evening's camp. At the end of the tour he arranged for a taxi to collect me from my accommodation, take me to and over on the ferry and drive me all the way to the airport. All in all, I couldn't recommend this tour enough - I can't think of any negative comments to make about it.

Excellent guide Dominik.
Very good communication Yogy
Experienced support for our transfers from/to airports.
Nice and clean accommodation at the kayak center.
We took the Northern Delights tour and we can really recommend it! The weather was fantastic, warm, calm and sunny. Camping on the beach and taking baths in 20 centigrade water each day was great.
Back in cold and dark Sweden we are happy to have got this memory.

Wild hogs, fighting deer, crazy lightning, and swimming dolphins too, the Northern Delights tour had it all. The owner, Jogy, is a great guy, and he runs a smooth operation; the equipment was top notch. Dominic was our ACA certified guide (and excellent chef); he really knew his way around Croatia’s northern Islands. Croatia is a beautiful place to paddle and Sea Kayak Croatia is the best! I would definitely do it again.

It's the second time I do a kayak expedition with Yogi and for sure it will be not the last.
In four friends with the great guide Domink we spent 7 unforgettable days traveling in kayak around Cherso. We saw wonderfull places and we swim in amaizing waters.
Dominik is an expert guide, but also an excellent cook so we had every day very good food. We slept in tents on desert beaches lulled by the sound of the sea. Everythink was perfectly organized.
I thank Yogi, his family and Dominik for for making our holiday fantastic!
