This was the most amazing afternoon we had in Pula. Our guide was fantastic, informing us about all the different sights along the coastline. Cliff jumping was fantastic along with the snorkelling in the crystal clear waters in which we saw loads of sea-life. Could not recommend this enough, it was the highlight of our holiday.

Tour Overview
The adventure starts at Valovine Beach, at our KAYAK & SUP beach rental centre (GPS Google maps: 44.861922, 13.810854). We will have a brief 15-20 minute introduction so that we can get to know each other, learn or refresh the basics of paddling and talk through the safety instructions. Once that is done, the fun part begins!
Sea Kayaking
Next, we set out onto the water, enjoying a gentle paddle for around 4 kilometers. The real magic starts when we find our own tempo and begin gliding across the turquoise sea with every stroke. During this time we will take breaks for snorkeling, cliff jumping, cave exploring, and a picnic!
Visit the Canyon & Cliffs
The first stop is at a small canyon, where we have some time to explore the area filled with secret spots and fascinating formations. By the cliffs, there’s a point for taking stunning photos under the old military bunkers built on the cliffs.
Snorkeling & Cliff Jumping
During a beach break, which lasts around 30-45 minutes, it’s snorkeling time and an opportunity to get to know the underwater life of the Northern Adriatic. Also, for the thrill-seekers, there’s a chance to jump from the rocks into the water; some classic Pula cliff jumping!
Cave Kayaking
On the last part, we paddle into the Seagull’s cave, illuminated with headlights, and explore its shapes, stalactites, cozy little beach, and animals who call this cave home. Experience the stunning Pula cave kayaking with the iridescent sea lighting the curving cave walls.

What Our Guests Have Said
We had a great tour guide, Zara. Very experienced, careful and not only with kids but also adults. The length of the tour was for our family (10 year old and a 12 year old) good. Bit of kayaking, visit a cave, snorkeling and cliff jumping was great for them end for me. Many thanks for a wonderful morning!
One of the most fun, interesting activities we did in Pula! A moderate workout for the arms, the coolest caves to paddle and climb into, and cliff jumping and snorkeling. It was worth every penny. Took my 19 y o and my husband and we all had a blast.
Had an amazing time with the family on the kayak trip around the caves and cliff jumping – highly recommend this trip great guides very patient and take the time to explain the history of the area even stop off for some snorkelling and a snack. Highlight of our holiday many thanks
We did two half day adventures with Majda as a family (2 teens 17 and 13). The Pula Sea kayaking which included cliff jumping, snorkeling, and sea caves was amazing, we all loved it… Especially cliff jumping! The next day we did the mountain biking trip which was great fun and included more swimming in the amazingly clear waters around the peninsula.
