Ivan was a terrific guide for our 5 hour kayaking adventure. I estimate that about 2-2.5 hours of that time was spent kayaking to Cape Kamenjak and back, 1 hour clambering over rocks, cliff jumping, swimming and exploring the sea cave, 1-1.5 hours having a leisurely lunch in the shade at the wonderful Safari Bar. Ivan was full of information and instilled confidence in us. 10 km was a lot for us to kayak in one day, especially after a long kayaking adventure elsewhere a couple of days before, but we made it and felt that the journey was totally worth it. We arrived late at Jistra and were very grateful for the staff’s good humor about this. Don’t make the mistake of not allowing sufficient time to get to Jistra. We were staying nearby ant Arena One 99 and thought it would take us just 25 mins. However the free parking was full and the queues at the camp site reception were so long as to preclude us purchasing the 15 euro ticket needed for the paid parking lot inside the campsite. So when they tell you to aim to get there at 9.20 for a 10am start, take note!

Amazing kayak in Croatia
Spectacular tour of one of the most amazing sea caves. Aleksa the guide was superb, kind, funny and knowledgeable. The experience of the cave was worth the paddle! We had lunch at Safari Bar which is a hidden paradise and fantasy land in the trees and canes on the hill above the beach. Great place.

Amazing trip, won’t disappoint.
Such a great trip, highly recommended. Alexa and Marco were knowledgeable, helpful, fun and friendly. We snorkelled, paddled and had a wonderful lunch at the Safari Bar which is hard to describe as it’s so unique. Never seen anything like it before, a jungle bar hidden on a hill adjacent to the most beautiful crystal clear indigo sea. You won’t be disappointed if you book this tour.

Nice experience
We had a wonderful guided tour with kayaks. The guide was very friendly and informing us about Cape Kamenjak. We’ll definitely go again with Jistra, next time we’ll take sunset tour with transparent kayaks! Can’t wait for that one! Definitely worth the price!

Debora and her colleagues...
Debora and her colleagues are cool, dynamic and sporty people. They went above and beyond to make the experience great. My favourite part was diving into a cave, which is definitely mesmerising. I wish them all the best with their expertise!
B
Great family experience!!
We have a very large family, and my wife and I thought it long overdue to outfit our family en masse. Denny and his lovely wife Mia were most attentive to all our needs. As a guy, I hate shopping for clothes, but Denny and Mia were able to turn this outing into a very enjoyable experience. Denny was able to very accurately assess our personal styles and outfit us with bespoke apparel in the most seamless way that I have ever seen. The same applied to Mia. Their expert recommendations were greatly appreciated and their effusive enthusiasm was contagious. The entire experience felt like we were being entertained and advised by family, and we enjoyed every minute of it. By the time we were finished, we had "bought out the store" and Denny and Mia celebrated the occasion by popping a bottle of Proseco. All in all, it was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend this store for all your apparel needs. Sean & Debbie from Barbados.
