You push off from Štinjan bay as morning light pries open the Adriatic — the sea is flattened to glass and tiny wakes outline your kayak. The guide points toward a shabby lighthouse, then toward two islands: Jerolim, with its Roman quarry scars and roaming peacocks, and Kozada, a low, windswept rock that guarded Pula Bay through Austro-Hungarian times.

You push off from Štinjan bay as morning light pries open the Adriatic — the sea is flattened to glass and tiny wakes outline your kayak. The guide points toward a shabby lighthouse, then toward two islands: Jerolim, with its Roman quarry scars and roaming peacocks, and Kozada, a low, windswept rock that guarded Pula Bay through Austro-Hungarian times.
Geology here is raw: white limestone shelves drop into turquoises threaded with Posidonia meadows. Brijuni National Park sits just beyond the horizon, its gentle hills and forested coves visible from the water. Culture in this corner of Istria leans maritime — fishing boats, small family farms, and seafood that still tastes of salt and sun.
On a typical 3‑hour outing you’ll paddle easy stretches, pause to snorkel in crystalline bays, and—if you want—cliff jump from low ledges into deep water. The route is social yet small, capped at 12, so the guide can coach paddling, point out marine life, and share local history.
Practicalities: arrive with swimwear, reef‑friendly sunscreen and water shoes; bring a light layer for wind on the return. Expect short swims between kayaks and variable wind; mornings are calmer, sunsets more photographic. All basic gear (kayak, paddle, life vest, mask/snorkel) plus bottled water and a fruit snack are included.
This trip suits moderately fit travelers who can enter and exit a sit‑on‑top kayak and are comfortable in open water. Respect Brijuni’s protected coastline—don’t take shells, avoid stepping on seagrass, and follow your guide’s instructions for safety.
The outing is about 180 minutes (3 hours) including paddling, snorkeling, and breaks on the islands.
