CROATIA SURF TRIPS
Good conditions and a free morning rarely line up twice. These 15 croatia surf trips justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide quickly and get back in the water.
You’ll paddle about 5 kilometers through the sea and river near Stobreč on hard SUP boards fitted with bright LED lights. English-speaking guides such as Luca, Tomas, Paola, and Rose provide instruction, photos, and transfers from central Split. No experience is needed.
“Go at your own pace (not pressure to stand) and lots of opportunities for photos. Amazing way to see split at night!”
Meet Adriatic Adventure in central Split, then ride to Stobreč for a 2-hour-45-minute evening SUP trip. Certified guides such as Boris, Peter, Tomas, and Vito teach the basics before you paddle from sea to river and back beneath LED lights. Beginners are welcome, but bring dry clothes and mosquito spray.
“This was my first time paddle boarding and it was the perfect place to give it a go. The sea is extremely calm as it is but then you also get to experience the river which is even calmer. The guides were amazing and really took their time, they got all of us standing by the end of the tour which just topped off the experience. Would highly recommend!”
Start with a morning pickup in central Split and paddle from Stobreč Camp into the Adriatic and Žrnovnica River. Certified guides such as Ivan and Luka teach all levels, provide boards, dry bags, snorkeling gear, and photos, with time for swimming and optional cliff jumps.
“Ivan is a great instructor. We got to paddle at sea and in the river to see turtles. Highly recommend.”
Meet instructor Ivan at 10:00 am for a beginner-friendly SUP lesson on Sladinac Lake. Paddle through canals and wetlands to the Island of Love, a natural spring, and Crniševo Lake, with swimming and a fruit picnic before returning.
“Ivan was an excellent tutor and fun guide. The experience is 100% worth while exploring the lakes and the local wildlife, including Cormorants and Eagles - did you know you can scare seagulls away by flapping your arms like a big eagle? I didn’t either, until today. Hvala Ivan!”
Join a certified guide such as Nikola, Luka, Ivan, or Boris for a beginner-friendly 5-kilometer SUP trip from Stobreč into the Žrnovnica River and Adriatic Sea. Expect calm water, snorkeling, cliff jumping, photos, and a beach break. Kayaks may replace boards if wind roughens the sea.
“Very friendly guide. Relaxed morning and was fun to do. Considerate and accommodating. Would highly recommend.”
Paddle a transparent, LED-lit SUP from Split to Stobreč with guides such as Luka, Roko, Ivan, Peter, or Nikolas. After a short lesson, you cover about 5 kilometers across calm sea and river water, pause at a quiet riverside spot, and see the riverbed below.
“The tour was very nice. Wqs some miscommunication about pick-up but a guide waited for us, so we could join the tour later. Very friendly guide! Would recommend this :)”
Meet Metta Float Outdoor Adventures at Verudela for a 1.5-hour clear-kayak outing around Stoja Bay and nearby islands. You’ll receive basic instruction, safety gear, a paddle, and a dry bag. Sunset timing changes daily, and groups are limited to 12 people.
“Fantastic experience for our last night in Croatia! Started off with some deception as windy situation could possibly be a showstopper. But no worries, we(5 people only) had great support from Igor who guided us through the waves, although we were all newbies to SUP! Amazing views of sunset and some swimming fun concluded a perfect holiday. Thanks Igor and Mettafloat team!”
Join Ivona, Katerina, and the Metta Experience team for a 1.5-hour night SUP tour from Verudela Beach Resort. After a short lesson, paddle around the bay on an LED-lit board that reveals the water below. Small groups, GoPro photos, life jackets, and dry bags are included.

Choose a transparent kayak, regular kayak, or SUP, then snorkel, visit island coves, and receive fruit, water, gear, and underwater GoPro photos. Guides such as Marko and Uros keep the outing friendly and practical.
“Service was exellent,they showed us what to do and it was really easy. We went to the island Ceja, which was pretty close from Kamenjak. Prices are good, and we had a great time. Higly recommend!”
Start in Hvar’s protected Bonj Bay, where English-speaking staff explain safety and paddle technique before you set off. Use a stable JP Australia board, dry bag, life jacket, and map to reach quiet coves, nearby cliffs, or, for strong paddlers, Pakleni’s Ždrilca and Mlini beaches.
“The guides were fantastic—supportive, fun, and made us feel safe even with the choppy water. A thrilling and unforgettable adventure. Highly recommend!”
Join guide Roko and the Vala Tours team for a full-day SUP trip from Zadar to Dugi Otok. Paddle into old submarine tunnels, visit Veli Rat lighthouse, rest at Sakarun Beach, and finish with Croatian balote and wine or juice.
