The experience was great. Mario gave an informative and engaging brief before we set off which helped us feel at ease with captaining the boat ourselves. This is an experience I would encourage everyone to do if they are in Dubrovnik as it allowed us to explore the beautiful coast at our own leisure. 10/10

My friend and I had the best day with Niksa. The boat was pristine and so comfortable. Niksa was the perfect guide taking us to the most beautiful swim spots and caves. He truly made our experience the best it could be. We highly recommend booking with Niksa and can’t wait to come back!!

We had a fantastic day out on the Pasara Istranka! Since we had limited experience, Mario was incredibly helpful, giving us a thorough demonstration of all the controls. We were able to visit the beautiful Blue and Green caves, as well as Sunj beach. My kids absolutely loved it. I would definitely recommend this for a fun family day on the water!

Amazing day out! Marija was excellent at responding to text & emails which put your mind at ease. Transfer from hotel to boat was in a beautiful clean car & very helpful driver. Anna our skipper was attentive, friendly & knowledgeable, nothing was too much trouble. The restaurant chosen for lunch was perfect. A fantastic day & well worth the money.
