These
itineraries are designed for those who love being active in the
outdoors, explore seaside nature, heritage, history and art. Daily
routes are rather short - 2 to 3 hours of easy paddling - and not
demanding, fit for all ages between 14 and late sixties (no previous
kayaking experience is necessary). Dubrovnik and Elafiti shorelines are
rich in history and natural variety - cliffs, caves, pine and palm
trees, hidden coves, reefs, sandy beaches...
Lopud,
Kolocep and Sipan belong to Elafiti Islands Archipelago – 13 green
islands covered by pine forests, without car traffic, with lots of
sunshine and sandy beaches, less than an hour sailing time from
Dubrovnik. Each has no more than a couple of hundreds permanent
residents who live in stone houses of traditional character. Tall palm
trees, parks, gardens and flowers everywhere contribute to easy going
life style. You will spend a day exploring each island plus Zaton Bay
and Dubrovnik. They are not just places of incredible natural beauties
but also open air museums of history, art, architecture and folklore.
And there will be a day for an optional excursion to Herzegovina rivers
– rafting or canoeing – or even Montenegro or Mljet Island National
Park.
You'll be staying on the lovely island of Lopud:
Lopud is one of 16 Elifiti islands, only a 45 minute boat ride from Dubrovnik. It is well known for its translucent, azure blue sea, sandy beaches, subtropical vegetation, botanical garden, old monasteries and churches, royal palaces and dreamy old villas. Lopud has the most romantic sunset that you ever experienced.
Your accommodation will be in one of the charming villas on Lopud, such as Villa Franka.
From Lopud it is easy to visit other Elafiti islands, via a short 10-15 minute boat ride.
Sea kayaks
that we use are polyethylene Prijon single and double, stable and easy
to paddle. In addition to paddle, spray deck and life jacket each can
carry snorkeling gear for exploring underwater world between paddling
trips, your personal things or hobby items like photo, paint or fishing
equipment. Stable and user or family friendly sit-on-top kayaks are
also available. They have 2 seats with optional 3rd seat for a pre-teen
child. We use kayaks to travel quietly – “walk on water” and discover
amazing creations of nature and man. Kayaks will take you to hidden
caves, beaches and other places where motor or sail boats don’t dare
going. Occasionally groups of kayakers are escorted by friendly
dolphins or tunas that are often seen in the area. |
