Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Guide Goran. The guide and tour was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that he deserves a special thanks. We had two great days there, which obviously also added up to the experience. Goran is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable!). I truly enjoyed walking the six of us through the area. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to walk in such a quiet and peaceful environment. The atmosphere is so special that it really felt like home to all of us. All respect for Goran who does a great job there; a true sample of excellent tour guide! Many thanks again and I recommend Pathfinder Tours to everyone!

We hired Adam at the last second to take us to Plivitce lakes for the day. He was super flexible with timing given that we booked the tour the night before at 11 pm. Adam was a great conversationalist and we enjoyed learning about his experiences during our 2 hour drive to the lakes. He was helpful in showing us around and gave great local suggestions of places to try in Zagreb.

We left from Krk town at 10.30 and returned around 17.15. 3 nice swimming locations. We did a delicious lunch in Stara Baška ourselves. Much cheaper than the lunch deal that was offered on board. We went to Bistro Pizzeria Mul nearby where our boat was. We saw dolphins and the captain made an extra turn so we could see them better. They swam next to the boat! You can buy cold drinks on the boat. There is a toilet. I didn't see the shower but maybe it was there. Mind the slippery floor! There is (some) snorkling gear.
