Boris is a fantastic host on his Kayak tour! He has put alot of thoughtfulness and care into creating a super fun and safe experience on the water and each little stop along the way. I loved learning about the history of Korcula and some specific spots of historical significance that we stopped at on the little islands. Boris shared some really cool insights about island life and the traditions that are kept alive in his family, we got to try some delicious Grk made by his family along with homemade special pastries. Thanks for the lovely day out!
What a fantastic experience with Boris! He communicates clearly with safety of each client in mind, which is reassuring for beginners. I had sent emails to his wife, Ivka, to check that this would be comfortable for my tall husband and had great responses too. On the day, we had enough time on the water with breaks for local history on the nearby islands. This is a well thought out tour of the area in a beautiful setting. Boris' family had prepared some small snacks and wine for us to try that are handmade to their family recipes... delicious! I would highly recommend kayaking with this company to anyone visiting Korcula. We loved our time with them. NOTE: We chose to book direct as this is better for the tour operators but I wrote this review here as many people look on TripAdvisor first.
Dear Payal, Thank you so much for writing us such a nice review of our Bits of History morning kayak tour! We really appreciate it! :) We are happy that you liked your time with us on the tour: tasting our homemade sweets called Klašuns and Grk wine. Ivka appreciate that you liked the communication before the tour, and Boris really takes care that everyone on the tour, especially beginners, feels comfortable and safe. Looking forward to meeting you again if you come back to Korčula Island! :) With kind regards, Boris and Ivka
This was awesome! Boris gave us so much information on the history of Croatia and different tidbits that were specific to each island we stopped at. The homemade pastries were amazing, and we got to try a wine native to Korcula! 10/10 recommend, absolutely beautiful.
Dear Victoria, Thank you so much for joining us on our morning Bits of History Kayak Tour! We are very pleased that you liked the tour, appreciated the bits of local history Boris shared with you, and, of course, our local GRK wine and Klašun pastries. Wishing you all the best! Boris and Ivka
Wow, what a special experience! You really should book this. We did the 9am-1pm tour. Boris is a wonderful guide. He picked us up in Korcula and brought us to Lumarda to begin the tour. He made sure we were comfortable with the equipment and helped us in and out of the kayak each time. We had an easy paddle- never rushed or strenuous, breaking frequently for stops on three different islands to learn some local history and taste two local desserts and two local drinks. Everything was homemade by his family and it was delicious. Boris is easy to chat with and so knowledgeable about everything. This is his own business and you can tell he’s invested in giving you a special experience, not just making money. It was very good value. I highly recommend this tour!
Dear Jennifer, Thank you so much for joining us on our morning Bits of History tour and for writing such a wonderful, detailed review! We are happy you felt safe and well taken care of and that you liked our homemade delicacies. Thank you again, and we would love to have you with us again! With kind regards, Ivka and Boris
Boris was an excellent guide and we loved the trip! The small group experience was so much better than a large kayak tour. Kayaking to the nearby islands and learning local history increased our appreciation for what we were seeing along the way. And the homemade snacks,desserts and local wine were a special treat. This was one the best small group tours we have ever done…thank you Boris for sharing so much about your history and culture!

Thank you again for choosing us and for highly recommending our tour. We hope to welcome you back to the Adriatic for another paddle someday! Warm regards, Boris and Ivka

Dear Isabelle, Thank you for your kind review of our Bits of History half day kayaking tours and your time with Boris. We really appreciate you taking the time to write it and enjoying your day with us.

This was amazing, Boris was a ln excellent guide, really knowledgeable and gave food and wine made by his family. I would absolutely do this again, can't recommend it enough
We had a wonderful experience. Special thanks to our guide, Andre, for his kindness and expertise. The local cookies were amazing, and the Grk wine was absolutely delicious!
Highly recommend this tour! Boris, the owner and guide was a wealth of knowledge on this area, warm and engaging! There was a great mix of kayaking, exploring, history and relaxation with wine and cake!
We had a perfect outing on the water and touring the islands near Lumbarda with Andrej as our guide. He was friendly and knowledgeable and was a wonderful host for our group. We encountered perfect conditions for kayaking and the islands were all so interesting. The wine and treats were all delicious.
