Croatia is a beautiful place to experience these adventures!
Eva kept the whole week going smooth with updates, photos and info needed everyday. Tony is an amazing calm in any panic and absolutely amazing at what he does. He has a way of making everyone feel safe and comfortable no matter the language barrier. Mitch was like a walking god from GOT. I've never seen such good looking dude. Darmir the big boss man...what a dude. He went out of his way not only for me but others in the group. I will definitely be back. Omis is my home away from home now.
I'll be telling everyone I know to go omis and seek out malduk adventures. Thank you so so sooo much. Memories made to last a life time.
I travelled solo but met some fab people. I took part in the rafting, sea kayak, canyoning and zip.
All well organised and great fun.
The accommodation is good and restaurant for evening meals has varied choice and is good quality.
Eva and Dado take such good care and really go the extra mile to ensure you have a good time. Thoroughly recommend
Eva was always very helpful organising what I was doing the next day, even helping me out when I was unwell on the first day. Dado was always great company on the drive out and back each day, I learned a lot about Croatia! He was also happy to make some rearrangements when one day was disrupted by torrential rain, so I didn’t miss out on anything. All the guides very professional, welcoming, reassuring and a lot of fun! Thank you Toni, Nikola, Mić for your time and effort.
All the activities were a lot of fun but the standout for me was canyoning. I have done this once before elsewhere but this was beyond what I expected. Absolutely stunning location, beautiful clear water (like everywhere else around Omiš) and so much fun scrambling over the rocks in and out of the water. There were also some big (optional) jumps for the ultimate adrenaline rush.
Malduk would be my first choice to recommend an active holiday to a friend or even for my next holiday
An awesome day out with beautiful scenery and some adrenaline thrown in there too!
The rafting tour is a must have for guys who like to do something in the nature with a bit of adventure. We had a beautiful tour along the river with exiting moments of fast rafting. The skipper (his name is Toni) was also very good. He explained everything, brought attention to important safety things and he is good guy for fun and explore such an adventure.
Besides the nature, we stopped by a waterfall where you ca drink directly from the hill.
The whole experience was nice journey. In summertime it is also a good family activity. Rafting sounds extreme but this event is definitely also something for beginners.
Thanks for this great day.
The service before our trip was very friendly.
During the trip, our tour guide was Mitch. He was very knowledgeable and we had great conversations with him and a good laugh.
One of the best experiences I have ever been on! Can definitely recommend! So worth the price for the unforgettable experience you will have!
