Despite there only being the 2 of us on the tour, it still went ahead so we had a private tour! Marin, our guide, was knowledgeable about the area, but also was happy to answer questions about life in Croatia in general.
Because we were the only people on the expedition, it was very much tailored to what we wanted to do. We braved jumping off the rocks into the sea (the photos taken with the go Pro thankfully don’t pick up the panic face) and the snorkelling at the beach was wonderful. I couldn’t believe how many different fish we could see despite being close to a reasonably busy beach.
We got to the pick up point, Bene beach using the bus which was fine, and getting back to Split was easy as there seemed to be extra buses on the route in addition to what was on the schedule ( but buses run until at least 10 o’clock in the summer at least)
Because I don’t have my emails to my mobile phone, (I am on holiday after all) communication proved a challenge between the company and me. The start time and the meeting point both were changed slightly, but they kept on ringing until I heard the phone and they were able to update me.
In summary, a brilliant late afternoon/ evening on the water seeing the Marjan park from a new angle, and the sun setting over the peninsula on the other side of the bay on the way back.
Having Marin’s explanations of what we were seeing gave us more insight into Split through the ages to being a student in and living in Split now.
