Long description
Along with Jistra Adventures’ licensed kayak guides, explore the seductive Cape Kamenjak in Istria and its gulfs, as well as bask in the unique hues of the underwater caves. Some of these spots are truly hidden, which means their beauty is intact. Our Kayak Cave Tour will head to one of these spots, where the sun, rocks, and sea create a special ambience. Accompanied by company from all corners of the world and a cheerful mood, our kayak tour heads towards the Big Kolombarica cave.
The uniqueness of the cave is reflected in its interior, which besides the green-blue light effects gives an unforgettable feeling of cosiness and the protection of a hidden lagoon. We leave our kayaks on the coast, and swim through a sea tunnel to enter the cave. After diving through an underwater tunnel, we arrive at the cave and its luminous blues, which transform the sea into an intact natural pool. Here we abandon ourselves to swimming, diving, and fun, and to complete the experience, we will make sure to snap some underwater photos.
For brave adventurers, the high cliffs await – they can dive from them and have their own little summer adventure. After the marvellous cave, our tour heads towards the Small Kolombarica cave, which is as special and attractive as its namesake. Here we will be stunned to find a small beach surrounded by emerald sea and flat rocks, which is why it attracts so many visitors. After this is lunch together at the legendary Safari Bar, whose thick shade of bamboo and cane gives a real jungle feel. Safari Bar in Istria is a favourite spot for locals and tourists alike. In addition to the excellent food and drinks, there is a lookout point where you can take a selfie, with the entire Cape Kamenjak for a backdrop. For the young and young at heart, the bar offers big swings, slides, various wooden huts, and other hidden corners. To finish off our kayak tour, we row past the islet of Šekovac to enjoy the tranquillity of the deserted beaches and rest from the summer crowds. Next we return to our Kayak Tour starting point, where another memory in the making awaits.
