About us

Adriatic Kayak Tours is an American co-owned and managed Croatian company. 

Tamsen Resor: "When I first discovered the natural beauty of this area I knew I had to share it with others. Starting this company brought together all my divergent interests: the outdoors, physical activity, a culturally rich and exciting place, and an international clientele." 

Tammy received her outdoor education / wilderness training from NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School) in Wyoming, Kenya and Mexico and holds a Level III BCU Certification.

Ivan Stojanovich is a long term AKT employee with a background in journalism, history and IT which he traded for a more adventurous line of work of active travel.

If you give him a chance, he'll talk your ear off with local history, society, cuisine and natural beauties and for all other topics, don't hesitate to ask anything. In his free time this ACA certified trip leader likes to read and enjoys all sorts of music so if you have any suggestions for reading or are in search for a new music playlist he'll appreciate both inputs and questions, so there is an idea for a conversation on a long transfer or at a lunch table. If your French needs work, his does too, so you can both practice in a judgement-free zone.

Borna Kachich, from Zagreb, earned his Masters in Philosophy and history of religion. During his 20-years career as an outdoor enthusiast and a professional guide, Borna guided trips all over the world - on rafts, bikes, kayaks and by foot. 

He is fluent in English, Spanish and German. Certifications include Backroads leader training, IRF Raft Guide II, ACA L2 Instructor, Basic Alpine course, First Aid training + CPR by Red Cross. 

In his spare time, Borna enjoys cycling / mountain biking, wine and zen stories. If you've never met a human encyclopedia before, now's your chance.

Ivor Kajfež is a kinesiologist by education and an adventurer at heart. An ACA-certified sea kayak guide, WFA, and skipper, he feels right at home on the Adriatic, whether paddling or sailing. 

His love for the outdoors is matched only by his soft spot for animals of all kinds. 

In 2026, Ivor returned for his 11th season with Adriatic Kayak Tours. 

Ivan Piper grew up in the medieval town of Požega, Croatia, but found his second home among the Adriatic islands. A lawyer by education and an adventurer by nature, he dedicated his master's thesis to the regulation of sea kayaking. His connection to AKT runs deep-in 2017, he chose one of its kayaking islands as the setting for his wedding, right in the middle of the season.

An ACA Trip Leader, Instructor, and WFR, Ivan spends his winters teaching skiing in the Italian Alps and the warmer months sharing his favorite corners of the Adriatic with AKT guests. His other passions include mountain biking and good wine-not necessarily together.

Domagoj Tot, better known as Dom (or Poseidon, depending on whom you ask), is a Dubrovnik local who grew up by the sea and proudly sports the longest beard in AKT. With a degree in Media and Social Culture, two years of military service, and over a decade of sea kayaking experience, Dom is a man of many talents and few words.

An ACA-certified Trip Leader and Instructor, Wilderness First Responder, and Rescue 3 Swiftwater and Flood First Responder, he's equally at home navigating the Adriatic, exploring mountain trails, or riding his motorcycle. The quietest guide on our team, Dom prefers to let his skills, and occasionally his beard-do the talking.
