Sea Kayaking & Snorkeling — Split, Croatia
Split Sea Kayaking & Snorkeling Tour Around Marjan Park
Paddle, snorkel, and discover the hidden coves of Split's beloved coastal forest park.
This sea kayaking and snorkeling tour in Split combines sightseeing, physical activity, and genuine adventure into a single three-and-a-half-hour experience along the shores of Marjan Park. Guided by local experts, participants explore crystal-clear Adriatic bays, learn the history of one of Dalmatia's most iconic green peninsulas, and enjoy time in the water at their own pace.

The itinerary is intentionally flexible, with morning and afternoon departure options available to suit different travel schedules. No prior kayaking experience is required — instructors provide full safety briefings and technique guidance before setting out, making this suitable for first-time paddlers and seasoned adventurers alike.
