Sea Kayaking Dubrovnik's Islands - 8 Days

Welcome to Croatia and the start of your adventure! You'll be met at the airport for the short transfer to Dubrovnik Harbour where you'll catch the ferry to Lopud Island (check our brochure for details of the timetable - you may have some free time to explore the city beforehand) The ferry takes around an hour so sit back and admire the view of the mainland with sparkling seas in the foreground and the mountains in the background. Once you arrive, you'll transfer to a comfortable, local guesthouse. Spend the rest of the day at your leisure.

After breakfast, you'll meet your kayaking instructor to collect your gear for the week and then after a safety briefing and introduction to kayaking, you're out onto the water! Today you'll be padding around Lopud to Sunj Beach, passing towering cliffs as you make you way over the blue waters. Unlike most beaches in Croatia, Sunj Beach is a sand beach so when you arrive you'll have free time to relax on the sands, swim in the clear, shallow waters or relax in the shade with a well-deserved drink! It'll take around 3 hours to get here and you'll cover 6km, but you'll leave your kayaks here and make your way back by foot, the walk taking around 25 minutes.

After breakfast, join your guide for the walk back over to Sunj Beach where it's back into your kayak for today's adventure! You'll be paddling across the channel to Kolocep Island, enjoying amazing views of cliffs and the turquoise Adriatic sea as the sun shines down. Your first stop is the Blue Cave, an amazing spot for swimming and snorkelling so you'll have some free time to enjoy this beautiful place. Afterwards, you'll continue to kayak around the island to the small village of Gornje Celo where you'll stop for an included lunch and then can either relax on the beach or explore some more of the island on foot. You'll paddle back to Lopud later this afternoon ending the day on Sunj Beach. In total you'll have paddled for around 3 hours covering 6km, with around 3 hours to snorkel, swim or relax on the beach.

Today is relaxed and easy-going as you have the morning at your leisure to explore Lopud. Later this afternoon when the sun is still up, it's back into the kayaks for around 3 hours as you paddle alongside the island to a point where you can watch the sun go down from the water. Truly a magical experience you'll watch the sun dip down over the islands of Mljet or Šipan from the water.

Today you'll be paddling to the neighbouring island of Sipan, visiting a natural stone arch and then paddling onto Green Cave. You'll stop at this beautiful spot and there's plenty of time for a swim or else don a snorkel and mask to explore the underwater world. Afterwards it's back into your kayak and you'll continue paddling to Sudjuradj, a small fishing village on the island. You'll be staying here this evening and your luggage will have been transferred from Lopud.

Today you'll paddle around Šipan to Šipanska Luka on the Eastern side of the island. You'll be paddling for around 4 hours and once you reach your destination there's plenty of time for you to swim, snorkel and relax. After a couple of hours here, you'll take a bus back to Sudjuradj and enjoy the rest of the evening at your leisure.

If you're feeling active today join your guide for a day of cycling through Šipan. You'll cycle along a vineyard near an old castle to the village of Sipanska Luka. Here take a break and grab some lunch before cycling back to Sudjuradj. If you don't want to join in with the cycling this isn't a problem and spend the day relaxing around Sudjuradj.

Sadly your adventure has reached the end (for now...) so after breakfast you'll be transferred to Dubrovnik Airport with some fantastic memories of these beautiful islands.
