Responsible tourism
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we screen every trip so you can travel knowing your vacation will help support conservation and local people.
Kayaking tour includes UNESCO protected Town of Kotor and Kotor Bay area and National Park Skadar Lake. Each of them features unique environments and rich ecological values, which require corresponding attitude from visitors. . Paddling together with our local guides and companies we will continue to support local community in effort to keep their natural beauty free of all pollution and generate enough income from sustainable tourism. By including the opportunity to visit the National Park on this vacation we choose to contribute to the excellent record of conservation in recent years through the entrance fees.As a company we employ responsible policies such as recycling paper, ink cartridges, glass and cardboard; we minimize the use of electricity and conducting the vast majority of our correspondence and promotion via the internet and email, minimizing the amount of paper used for our activities.
All of our guides are aware of their surrounding and they are constantly providing the travelers with suggestions of how to minimize potential negative impacts to the environment and marine ecosystems. Our guides emphasize on the importance of leaving the environment as it is. We observe marine life but we do not disturb it.
Our sea kayaks are made of recyclable plastic. They do not cause any form of air or water pollution and they do not produce noise that could be disturbing for marine life.
On our trips paddling produces no carbon footprint and also slows your pace down so you take in more of the nature that surrounds you.
We encourage our guests to use re-fill able water bottles, since tab water is drinkable in Montenegro.
The Impacts of this Trip
Our tours ensures that the local people benefit as much as possible in the form of jobs (we employ local guides and drivers, we use family owned hotel or apartments), and most of all minimizes the negative environmental impacts. We use local transfer services, buy food from the small farms and local fishermans and work on developing responsible tourism management in our region.
We closely cooperate with local cultural institutions and we point our visitors towards local cultural festivals (Kotor Art Festival ,
Don Branko music days) and similar manifestations.
We suggest to our travelers visits to historically, culturally and environmentally important sights (Old Town of Kotor ,
Villages Muo , Prcanj Stoliv , Town of Perast )

3 Reviews of Kayaking vacation in Montenegro
Reviewed on 26 Aug 2018 by Christine Todd
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
The opportunity to view the area from the water. I'm not one for sitting doing nothing on vacation and the four days of Kayaking the bay, taking in different villages and sites was a wonderful experience.
It was a joy to have a kayak guide who was both knowledgeable about the local area and enthusiastic to be out on the water.
2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Be patient! with the visiting cruise ships the town can be a little overcrowded at times and the narrow roads surrounding the towns were really not designed for the level of tourism in place so a short car trip can take a long time.
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
The vacation benefited the local company, who looked after us very well.
It was sad to see so much plastic rubbish on the beaches and in the water but we did out best to clear some of it on our daily paddle.
4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Great vacation, well organized and the kayak guides very knowledgeable and fun to be with. We wanted to make a last minute change to our final day and this was accommodated without a problem. The only drawback was not having a clear understanding how long we would be out paddling each day but I guess this depends on the conditions on the day and the abilities of the group. There was just my husband and I on our trip so were able to organize a pick up time each day to suit ourselves.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Our best day was our longest day kayaking on Kotor bay. The sea was as calm as a mill pond and the scenery was absolutely stunning. Toni took us to various islands and it was a really fantastic day.
2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
We weren't sure what to expect regarding the accommodation and meals. We had a lovely apartment just inside the old city walls. We ate in the family's restaurant each evening which had an excellent fish menu and fabulous steaks. We were given a large package of food for our breakfasts but could have eaten breakfast in the restaurant if we wished. The food they provided was a continental breakfast of bread, cheese, salami & cold meats, jam & eggs.
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
The vacation was run by a local family. Their restaurant used local produce and the staff were mostly from the area.
4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Excellent! Sanja, Rino & their team couldn't have been more attentive and made it a fabulous vacation!
