We're not strong swimmers but Petar was attentive and made sure we always felt safe and comfortable in the water. Never felt pressured to do anything we weren't comfortable with. Genuinely caring approach.

The swimming stop near the old fortress was the best — the water is so clear you can see the bottom in 8 metres. Danilo dived down and brought up a sea urchin shell to show us. That personal touch is what makes the difference.

Brilliant snorkelling. The gear was clean and well-fitting, the spots were chosen perfectly, and Marko pointed out sea life we would have completely missed on our own. My kids are still talking about the starfish.
