Peter was friendly and...
Peter was friendly and spoke English, he met us outside the cruise port. We walked around 10 mins to where the kayaks were stored. We had to share a 2 seater kayak (wpuld have preferred my own). We kayaked across to the other side of the bay, stopped at a bakery for some pastries (they were delicious and 50 cents each). We had a swim and then kayaked back. It was nice to see the quieter side of the bay, away from the cruise ship crowds.
Operator response
Thank you for your review!We’re glad you enjoyed the kayaking, the quieter side of the bay, and of course the pastries along the way! We also really appreciate your kind words about Peter.

After 15 minutes of waiting at the meeting point, the guide did not show up. No message, no news, we think he slept through his alarm.
Operator response
We’re sorry that you were unable to locate our guide at the meeting point. However, we would like to clarify that the guide was present at the designated meeting point that morning, and the tour operated as scheduled with 10 guests participating. We therefore feel it is unfair to suggest that the guide “overslept,” as this was simply not the case. Unfortunately, it seems there was a misunderstanding at the meeting point, and we are sorry that you missed the tour.

Kayaking in the bay of Kotor.
Excellent activity with friendly and knowledgeable guide. Kayaked to a nice beach bar with good service, lovely views and plenty of shade.
Operator response
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the kayaking, beautiful views, and relaxing beach stop. We truly appreciate your kind words!

Best Kayak Trip Ever!
Vladimir was an amazing guide! We were treated super well, and I would 10000% recommend this experience. It was a great start to me and my friend’s trip to the Balkans!
Operator response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure meeting both of you. We're delighted to hear the tour was such a great start to your Balkans trip. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to Kotor one day!

Disappointing tour
Guide did not really take care of guests, just rushed ahead. Not much information provided about in this beautiful region. Smaller one or two seater kajaks would have been much more easy to steer and accelerate as a single guest rather than a 3-seater.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry the tour didn't meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments regarding the guide's pace, the information shared during the tour, and the kayak configuration. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we'll use it to improve the experience for future guests.

Misleading advertising.
Extremely disappointed in this experience. We were signed up to kayak and snorkel. As we started kayaking, our guide told us that he forgot the snorkeling equipment so we would not be snorkeling that day. This is literally the reason we signed up for this kayak experience! I would absolutely not recommend this experience to anyone as it is not at all as advertised.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize that the snorkeling equipment was not available during your tour. We completely understand your disappointment, especially as snorkeling was an important reason for choosing this experience. This was an operational mistake on our side, and we take full responsibility for it. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will take steps to ensure it does not happen again in the future. Once again, we are sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations.

Guide was nice and waited for us after tender port was delayed; however forgot snorkeling gear so kids were bummed they couldn’t swim or snorkel
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback 🙂 We're glad to hear that the guide was able to accommodate the tender delay and ensure you could still join the tour. We sincerely apologize for the missing snorkeling gear and understand the disappointment, especially for the kids. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will do our best to prevent this from happening again.

It was a beautiful...
It was a beautiful experience. The tour guide was super friendly and told us a lot about the city and the country. We took a break at a small village and were allowed to explore it ourselves. After an hour we paddled back to the meeting point. With friends it was a really fun experience. Gladly again
Operator response
Thank you for your kind feedback! It was a pleasure kayaking with you, and we hope to welcome you back to Kotor again

Kotor Bay Kayaks
Vladimir is a great guide. The kayak trip was VERY far! Plus a mile there and back walk from pickup to kayaks.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback and kind words about Vladimir 🙂 We’re very happy you enjoyed the guiding part of the experience. Our kayak tour is designed as a longer active experience so guests can explore more of the bay and enjoy different perspectives of Kotor. The walk to the kayaks is due to access limitations near the port area. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope you enjoyed your time in Kotor 🙂
