Croatia · SNORKELING
The Adriatic is clear, cold and short on big fish, so the good snorkelling here is about caves and wrecks rather than reefs. These 15 are priced, with a note on which supply the gear and which expect you to bring it.

“During our recent excursion 2 the sea, my kids & I encountered a disappointing obstacle - a dense layer of unsightly brownish algae and slime, preventing us from enjoying activities like snorkeling, swimming, and cliff jumping. Despite this setback, the guides leading our tour displayed exceptional adaptability & promptly redirected us to alternative, equally captivating spots. Initially, I found kayaking challenging, as the kids & I were navigating a kayak for the 1st time. One of the guides graciously tethered our kayak to his own, ensuring a smooth journey to the caves. As we gained confidence & paddling skills, we eventually tackled the remainder of the tour independently, albeit consist...”

“We were not off to a great start on this tour when we fell in very close to the beginning, but we were able to turn it around! Be prepared that this is not an easy tour - our guide Mike told us at the end that we had burned about 600 calories in the 3 hours. The cave was cool, but very rocky and very slippery. There were opportunities to snorkel or cliff jump. We saw a beautiful sunset and enjoyed a glass of wine once we got back! I was shocked that my arms weren’t sore the following day!”

“This is definitely the best boat trip I have done in Croatia! Our skipper Marin was also an absolute star - super friendly and funny. Our boat trip happened one day after the storm so the waves were quite strong, but Marin still did his best on driving the boat and making sure everyone is ok. Despite the stronger waves, Marin still gave all guests a chance to decide whether to go into the sea cave, which I truly appreciated his efforts in making sure we make the most out of this trip. Shipwreck was definitely the highlight the trip for me. It was amazing, especially due to the storm…”
