Therefore compliance with safety rules will make your stay more comfortable and reduce the risks to their absolute minimum. Please listen to your guides’ instructions at all times. Since they are trained professionals very familiar with the environment. Their first concern is your safety and then your experience.

Trip questionnaire

We care what you think. So, it is in our interest to gather important, relevant information and feedback. You can help us with that by filling out the questionnaire your guide will hand you at the end of your trip. All information is valuable. We need your feedback in order to provide the best possible service to our guests.

Gratuity

We believe that tips should reflect good service and your satisfaction with the guide. Therefore with the overall tour. If you feel your guides did an outstanding job and you would like to reward them for their efforts, we suggest tipping them. Tipping is voluntary and completely at the discretion of individual trip participants. Your own currency or Croatian Kuna is acceptable. Usually, group members put all gratuities in an envelope and present it to the guides during dinner on the final evening of the trip.
