Kayaking and mussels tasting at Krka River estuary-private tours
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
This is a locally guided kayak tour through the beautiful nature of the Krka river estuary.
Local use to say that in this area "Krka is kissing the sea"! The water is brackish (mixed sea and river water) and because of that, the biosphere is special.
Our tour is adapted for beginners with no paddling experience. It lasts about 4 hours, but we will paddle for about two hours. Most of the time we will explore around the St Joseph channel, have a swimming break and option of snorkelling and cliff jumping.
This area is known and famous for shell farms. Visiting a shell farm and tasting some fresh mussels is a unique experience on this trip.
Many celebrate like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg. Michael Jordan, Prince Harry, Kim Kardashian and others sailed this route on their mega-yachts. With us, you will enjoy a more natural sightseeing experience than they had.

5.00There were three of us and we really enjoyed kayaking and eating mussels with Ivan! It felt like it wasn't a commercial mass product, but a very cozy local experience. These days, things like this are becoming less and less common, which makes us appreciate them even more Be prepared to kayak for about three hours, or bring someone to paddle for you :) I highly recommend this activity
Very nice family friendly kayak tour

5.00Great multi-stop kayak tour with opportunities for swimming, snorkeling and cliff jumping. To Finally, there were fresh mussels straight from the water on a raft on the water - a unique experience in great surroundings. Ivan was a very nice tour guide who responded to all wishes. We did the tour with children between 6 and 17 years old and it was a great experience for everyone. Can we recommend without restriction!

5.00The kayak tour was absolutely mega! It was really extremely beautiful! Ivan took a lot of time throughout the tour to make sure we could fully enjoy the surroundings. He showed us special places off the beaten track that you probably would never have found on your own. The tour was perfectly organized, so we had enough time to take in the beauty of nature. It was not only a sporting challenge, but also a wonderful opportunity to experience nature from a new perspective. He was attentive, and you could tell he really wanted you to have a nice experience. And of course everything else that is already in the other comments was there with us. Cliff jumping was absolutely cool! It was a fantastic tour that I can recommend to anyone. If you are looking for an authentic and unforgettable experience, don't miss this kayak tour!
WOW! breathtaking.

5.00WOW! 5 stars and even more if there were any left to give. We did the trip with 2 adults and our 2 kids (11 and 9). Ivan (host) was the best: he took us to some wonderful spots and made sure it felt like a 'private' experience (he tailored the trip to our needs). Ivan, a nice, warm and friendly guy, had a lot of things to share about the fauna, flora, culture, etc. And the mussels at the end were delicious! A once in a lifetime experience for us! And a perfect way to discover Krka/Zaton/Sibenik area.
A great day out!

5.00Had a fantastic day kayaking with Ivan from Krka kayaking. We contacted him on the online form and Ivan got back to us straightaway by WhatsApp confirming the time, meeting place in Skradin and itinerary. We had a private tour of just our family where we went from Skradin to Zaron. On the way we stopped for a break and had time for swimming. Ivan had organised a stop where we eat mussels from a floating raft. They were some of the best mussels we have tasted!!! We then had time for a bit of rock jumping into the sea. Ivan was wonderful - so friendly and as a local he has lots of knowledge and didn’t rush the trip at all even provided water and an abundance of beautiful fresh figs to keep us going. We had a fantastic day. If you are in the area and want a great kayak trip then I would highly recommended him and his company!!
Great excursion with very nice guide.

5.00Ivan was super nice and could tell us a lot. The boats were in good condition and there were also enough waterproof bags and covers for mobile phone and keys. The lunch break at the mussel farm was the absolute highlight. It was very delicious. We even got to try oysters.
Fantastic activity

5.00A very nice kayak trip with our family in a beautiful setting accompanied by a fantastic guide Ivan. Kayaks are of very good quality. Stops are included for swimming, snorkeling and tasting mussels/oysters. Mussels were actually a meal, so many were prepared. Everything was provided by Ivan: drying bags for equipment, pouches for mobile phones, water and fruit for the road, snorkeling equipment... Because it is in a limited group Ivan can adapt the trip to your wishes regarding the stops. Highly recommended!
Amazing day out!!

5.00Had a fantastic day kayaking with Ivan and Krka kayaking. We contacted them on the online form and Ivan got back to us straightaway by WhatsApp confirming the time and itinerary. We had a private tour of just our family where we went from Zaton to Sibenik. On the way we stopped for a break and had time for swimming. Ivan had organised a boat back from Sibenik where we stopped to eat mussels from a floating raft where the mussels are caught and sold to passing boats. They were some of the best mussels we have tasted!!! We then had time for a bit of rock jumping into the sea. Ivan was wonderful - so friendly and as a local he has lots of knowledge and didn’t rush the trip at all even provided water and an abundance of beautiful fresh figs to keep us going.
