You push off from the shingle at Orca Diving and the Adriatic nudges your kayak away from shore. To starboard the low silhouette of Fratarski rises like a coral-cut sentinel; behind it two smaller islets—Fraskerić and Frasker—break the horizon. The sea smells of salt and warmed stone, motorboats hum distant paths, and the current through the narrow canal teases you toward exploration.

You push off from the shingle at Orca Diving and the Adriatic nudges your kayak away from shore. To starboard the low silhouette of Fratarski rises like a coral-cut sentinel; behind it two smaller islets—Fraskerić and Frasker—break the horizon. The sea smells of salt and warmed stone, motorboats hum distant paths, and the current through the narrow canal teases you toward exploration.
Pula wears history on its skin: a Roman amphitheater anchors the city a few kilometers north, while the coast is carved from Istria’s limestone and ancient seabeds. The islets are tabular rock with little soil, popular for quick swims, cliff jumps and snorkeling in water warmed by summer sun. Local fishing and diving culture shape the small harbors, and Orca Diving’s rental sits where modern leisure meets maritime tradition.
Practicality rules the outing: staff provide orientation—basic paddling, routes, and safety—before you head through the channel or loop the islands. A full loop and canal transit is roughly a two-hour paddle; a one-hour rental will reach the first island and back. Life jackets, oars and waterproof phone pouches are provided; lockers, showers and changing rooms are on site. Be aware of boat traffic in the channel, watch for shifting winds (bora can pick up suddenly) and protect against sun exposure.
Plan a morning launch for calmer water and lighter boat traffic, stash valuables in the provided lockers, and use reef-friendly sunscreen. The route is forgiving for beginners but rewarding for those who want short swims, snorkel glimpses of schools of fish, and a quiet island lunch with a coastal view.
