Step-by-step itinerary

• View Poreč Old Town from water

The experience

Poreč sits on the Adriatic coast of Istria, and paddling it from a kayak puts you at eye level with the landmarks that shaped the town over two thousand years. The Euphrasian Basilica, a UNESCO World Heritage site from the 6th century, rises from the shoreline. The Old Town spreads behind it. You'll paddle through that history with a guide who speaks English, moving at a pace that lets you take in the architecture and the water around you. The tour runs three to four hours, timed to catch the sunset.

A sit-on-top kayak (single or double) keeps the setup straightforward: no rolling or complex technique required. You get a paddle, a life jacket, and a dry barrel for anything you bring. The guide leads the route and points out what you're seeing. If dolphins are near the coast that evening, you might spot them. After you paddle back, the tour ends at a local beach bar where you'll have a farewell drink and a fruit or chocolate bar, still watching the light change over the water.

Hotel pickup is included, so you don't need a car or a ride to the launch point. The tour suits all fitness levels, though it's not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health. Children from age 3 can join.

How does pickup work if I'm staying in a hotel in Poreč?

Hotel pickup is included in the price. The guide will collect you from your accommodation and bring you to the launch point, so you don't need to arrange transport separately.

What happens after the paddle ends?

Is there a guide with us the whole time, or do we paddle on our own?

A live guide who speaks English leads the entire tour, paddling with you and pointing out the landmarks and history as you go. The guide also handles the route and timing.
