Meet Our Guides - Amir, from our kayaking tours in Croatia!

Below you can get to know Amir a bit more, how his love for kayaking started, why rafting is the best way to see Montenegro, and what to expect from the new Kayaking & Yoga Week Dubrovnik Islands tour. 

Please tell us about yourself and your tours 

I've been a white water kayaker from a very young age. For some years I was on the National white water kayaking team. After that I started working and didn't have enough time to enjoy it so I started my own kayaking tour company.

My tours are made for everybody; from well-experienced kayakers to people with no experience at all. You can choose between tours on which you can paddle a lot or tours which are a combination of kayaking, hiking, rafting, cycling…We also have experience in custom made tours so if you have a vision what would you like to do on your ideal adventure holiday, we are here to assist you with everything you need.

How come you wanted to start a kayaking company? 

As I mentioned in a previous question; I really like to paddle and my first love was white water kayaking. Since I  love paddling I wanted to do something I love. Show to people the most beautiful places in Croatia, Montenegro, Slovenia and Austria I decided to start a kayak company and make it real. It is not just a kayak company, it is company for all adventure lovers who like to visit new places and do outdoor activities on most beautiful places with a dose of stylish comfort which every person needs during their holiday. Now, my tours are a combination of adventure, relaxing and other activities you like.

What’s your favourite part of the tours? 

My favourite part of the tour is when I see the happiness on my guest's faces when I show them some places which you can reach only by kayak. Or when we visit Montenegro. Montenegro is a totally different place than Lopud but just amazing. People really love it. Also, guests love that big difference between Croatia and Montenegro and they can feel it in just one week, one tour holiday. That difference between weather, Croatian coast, Adriatic sea and Montenegro Tara river, nature, mountains... That is one of my favourite parts of the tour.

What do you love about Lopud Island? 

Lopud is an island on South of Croatia, near Dubrovnik. While Dubrovnik is crowded, Lopud is a whole different dimension. Nature over there is just breathtaking, cliffs made by sea and wind is something that you cannot see every day. Delicious food in local restaurants is just one of the highlights on the tours. Also, promenade for romantic walks, dinners with view on the most beautiful sunsets, sandy beaches, warm, clear sea…If you ask me one thing which I love about Lopud, it is hard to say since there are so many beautiful things to see and to feel.

What’s your favourite activity on the tours - apart from kayaking? 

Rafting in Montenegro. If you ask me why; just because you can enjoy and see a lot of different things in nature from the water and it is a whole new view on everything. Canyon of Tara river is the second biggest canyon in the world. There you can see how small you are.

Something new for this year is the Yoga and Kayaking tour. Can you please tell us a bit about what people can expect on this tour? 

You can expect to start or to finish the day with yoga lessons and kayak in between. It is a great balance of free time and activity, with a bigger focus on relaxing in this tour. An easy going tour which provides you with more free time to read a book and enjoy in a cup of tea just in front of Adriatic sea.
