About Us

Sea Kayak Croatia was established in winter 2004 as a kayak rental company, but in summer 2007 we started to provide expedition trips. That means we have more than 15 years of experience in this “business”! We are NOT a normal tourist company that does everything, but a small and passionate family business focused only on sea kayaking. We do only one thing, but we do it right and we do it without hurry or as we say Pomalo. (for some pomalo is just a phrase, but for us it is the way of life and our lifestyle) The only work we do besides sea kayaking is permaculture farming (3sisters farm) and on most of our trips we use our home made products or products from locals when possible. We live on the beautiful green island of Rab, but our playground is the entire Croatian part of the Adriatic. In the world of mass tourism, we are not interested in satisfying the masses, but in providing a unique experience. For this reason, our groups are smaller and our tour guides are exclusively locals who know the area well and live from and by the sea. Our tours are adapted to every level, from beginners to experienced paddlers. Our unique RELAXPLORATION brand offers you the best experience exploring and relaxing. In the coming years, we will fully develop this “brand”, so stay tuned and follow relaxploration.com. You can also support our permaculture project at www.rab.com.hr
