Swim with Crystal River manatees on a small-group tour with wetsuits, warm drinks, expert guides, and an in-water photographer.

“What a great experience! Although our group was a bit larger than it should’ve been due to staffing issues, our guide Crystal, managed it all amazingly. She lead us to pockets of areas to see the list manatees and away from the crowds as much as possible. We saw so many beautiful floaty potatoes up close and personal. Highly recommend this tour and definitely ask for Crystal!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 379 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $211

Snorkel Silfra from Reykjavík between tectonic plates, with expert guides, dry suits, underwater photos, hotel pickup, and hot chocolate.

“This was my favorite experience so far in Iceland — a must-do if you can manage! The drysuit is cumbersome, but it’s very buoyant and easy to swim in. You’ll have to be a bit patient with getting set up, but it’s well worth it! The fissure looks exactly like the pictures. Mickey was the best, and I loved our girl group. A lot of reviews mention the water temperature: Brace for the worst, but I promise it’s really not that bad. The tour drew a great mix of solo travelers, as well. Our bus for pickup was running a little late as some people were no-shows, but it sounded…”

“We had a wonderful sunset kayak tour in Rovinj, with Andrea as an excellent guide! He explained a lot about the history of the town and was also really knowledgeable about a lot of the sea life. We particularly enjoyed spending time at the snorkelling spot we stopped at. It was genuinely a fantastic kayak tour, and a must if you are in the Rovinj area! Two recommendations for others who plan to book this tour are (1) to eat a meal before the trip as we covered quite a distance; and (2) wear water shoes if you have them and want to snorkel as the rocks can be quite…”

11.Pula Kayak Tour-Cliff jumping,snorkeling& free GoPro pictures

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 94 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $60

Review of Pula’s three-hour kayak tour with cliff jumping, snorkeling, a sea canyon, cave visit, gear, snacks, and free GoPro photos.

“Leider wurde unsere Tour nur vier Stunden vor dem geplanten Start aufgrund angeblich schlechter Wetterbedingungen abgesagt. Überraschenderweise war das Wetter jedoch an diesem Tag wunderschön – die Sonne schien den ganzen Tag. Andere Anbieter haben ihre Touren wie geplant durchgeführt, was die offizielle Begründung noch fragwürdiger erscheinen lässt. Es ist schwer zu glauben, dass die Absage wirklich wetterbedingt war. Vermutlich gab es entweder zu viele oder zu wenige Anmeldungen. Insgesamt war die kurzfristige Absage sehr enttäuschend, da wir uns auf den Ausflug gefreut hatten und keine alternative Möglichkeit mehr hatten, den Tag zu planen.”
