Amazing experience. We...

Charlotte_S, May 2026

Amazing experience. We had very informative and lovely instructors. We also felt very safe and looked after with them. It is a lovely experience to kayak down the river and especially at night to see the water glowing. Would definitely recommend

Fun and gorgeous!

Dakota_O, May 2026

This was a great way to see the city a different way, get some light activity & adventure in, and really just experience Croatia! Tour guides were so fun, too. 10/10 reco

Great evening

steph_P, Aug 2025

Really good experience, all the guides were really lovely. Would definitely recommend it 🤙🏼 It was so much fun

Calm and relaxing!

Heidi_M, Aug 2025

Booked this for something different to do on holiday that is not in the direct heat ! We ended up on the late hour at midnight, it was still a warm night but very peaceful. With all the lights it felt like we were in Avatar. Tour guides were very kind and helpful and even took photos for us. My only complain would be that they did not pick us up and had to get the later slot which was frustrating- ended up waiting for 45 extra mins. But the drive to the beach was only 15 ish mins away

Wonderful time. Beautiful...

Dayrell_S, Jun 2025

Wonderful time. Beautiful and well organized. Was an amazing experience in the water. Not very experienced in the kayak but they helped

So unique!

Cheryl_P, Jun 2025

Such a fun experience! Bring your own camera though- the photos from the tour guide are all blurry. The clear bottom kayaks are so fun- and the glow was amazing! Definitely worth going at night.

10/10 experience!

Vanessa_B, May 2025

Unique kayaking experience

Elizabeth_C, May 2025

What a fun evening in the bay and down the river. The kayaks are amazing when they are lit up, allowing you to see the sea floor and the riverbed, and all the fish/eels that reside there. It was a tranquil experience, with the opportunity to rest and look up at the stars. A truly unique experience that should be taken by all.

Great experience

Tasmin_G, Oct 2024

This experience was perfect way to end a summer night in Split. The weather was perfect and the guides were great. It was beginner friendly and we even got free alcohol at the end. The only thing I would change was the length of the experience i think it went for about 20-30 mins too long.

Definitely recommend!

Olivia_W, Oct 2024

This was such a fun experience!! Got to see the sunrise before we left and enjoy the stars lit up as we kayaked. We saw multiple fish and water snakes under our kayak. Put your guides were so funny and took great photos of us! Definitely recommend this! Well worth the money.

Amazing experience

Sarah_G, Oct 2024

Amazing experience definitely recommend. We had so much fun. The guides are lovely & took some fabulous photos for us. You don’t need much experience on a kayak either.

Good experience

William_G, Sep 2024

Very friendly and helpful guides. Picked us up and dropped off in convenient locations. The light up *kayaks* were very fun and could see underneath throughout the night. They are more like canoes. However, despite that, it was a great time and very rewarding.

Fabulous

Martin_D, Sep 2024

Coco_C, May 2024

The staff were very accommodating and welcoming. They even spend some time at the end of the tour to make sure you get the perfect picture. Great experience overall.

10/10 experience!!!

Jessica_S, May 2024

We had the best time on this excursion. We had another viator tour fall through, so we were able to book this one instead. It was a definitely a blessing because my husband and I had the best time. All of the staff was extremely friendly and were a ton of fun to hang out with for the night. They even took pictures of you on the kayaks, so you could leave your personal belongings on shore. All of the equipment was in great shape too! Overall would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a unique experience near Split!

Unique and fun glass bottom glow tour adventure

Carin_H, Oct 2023

We really enjoyed our glass bottom glow tour. The water was really calm, surprisingly warm, and the lights from the kayaks made for excellent pictures and visibility. Our tour guide made the tour really fun. He was super nice, very personable and hysterically funny. We highly recommend booking this excursion.

Great fun

Andy_P, Sep 2023

People running kayak were funny, friendly and very helpful. Made sure everyone in the group was looked after. The tour was a bit shorter than we expected and we didn’t go on the river, like in the description. The cherry shot was really nice afterwards and the kayaks were really cool - it was quite unique!

Great evening activity

Julie_S, Aug 2023

A great evening activity for couples, friends, family and lone travellers of all ages. Your route will differ depending on the weather. The wind meant that there was no time for any night swimming when we went. Tere is a choice between two meeting points, best to choose the campsite as there are places to sit, toilets & a shop.
