Our Company

Adriatic Kayak Tours was founded in the spring of 2005 by Tamsen Resor, an American who first visited Croatia in 2002.  After paddling the Dalmatian coast and islands on her own, Tamsen wanted to share her memorable experience with others.  Exploring new caves and snorkeling spots, feasting on grilled seafood in family-owned restaurants, and enjoying the locals' hospitality are just a few of the region's many delights.  Unlike other tour companies, AKT caters to small groups and focuses on the area's natural wonders. AKT offers half and full day sea kayak tours, multi-day sea kayak tours, and multi-sport tours in southern Dalmatia.

Our Trips
No previous kayaking experience is necessary. Each tour begins with kayak training and paddling technique in shallow, protected water. Tours are highly flexible; pace and activities are determined by the group; and each tour is unique and customized. Tours are designed to take advantage of the best that the Dubrovnik region has to offer and to protect its natural environment.

Our Guides
Guides are locals, knowledgeable about local history, culture, and folklore. They are trained and skilled kayakers and nature guides. Because group size is small - eight maximum - our guides offer a highly personalized service, structured to group needs.

Eco Tourism
Adriatic Kayak Tours (AKT) is committed to preserving and enhancing southern Dalmatia's natural environment while economically supporting Croatia's tourism industry; the primary driver of the local economy. AKT group sizes are small. Clients travel by sea kayak, bicycle, or on foot, all of which are intentional efforts to minimize any potential negative impacts to the natural environment and local population. The AKT company policy includes the recycling paper and glass products. AKT uses locally owned accredited guesthouses for accommodations, restaurants for meals, and ferries for transport. AKT guides are Croatian, knowledgeable about local customs and the marine ecosystem. Direct economic support comes from FDI (an American owned company).
