Our most popular week-long tour begins on Lopud Island a 40 minute ferry ride from the city of Dubrovnik. Situated in the middle of the three inhabited Elafiti Islands, Lopud is the perfect site for kayak touring the Elafiti Islands and for the tour's home base. You stay in a quaint stone guesthouse in Lopud's only town. You enjoy picturesque scenery, vibrant sunsets and delicious local cuisine prepared at Lili's, a private restaurant overlooking the island's wide beach-lined bay.
Days are spent “hopping” from island to island, as the 3 “living” islands are small and near-by. Paddlers are dazzled by crystal clear water, coastal cliffs and caves, and secluded beaches and coves. Paddling distances are relaxed (about 15 km. per day), leaving plenty of time to experience natural and cultural treasures or leisurely explore the islands and the sea. The region boasts some of the most fantastic beaches in Dalmatia and the islands are covered by pine, cypress, fig, olive and lemon trees. Evenings feature delightful meals in dramatic outdoor settings overlooking the Adriatic Sea, islands, and mountainous Croatian coastline. One day is dedicated to sight-seeing in and exploring Dubrovnik’s famous “Old City, a UNESCO protected world heritage site.
