Your day by day program
Arrival in Dubrovnik and transfer to Lopud island by bus and boat. You will have time to enhoy a swim in the sea and walk to Fort Kastio on the island's highest peak for a wonderful view of the sun setting over the Elafiti Islands.
Night in a house very near the beach.
Safety and sea kayaking instructions will take place on the sandy beach of Lopud. The first trip starts in the morning to the nearby island of Sipan. You will also get to visit the colorful villages of Sudjuradj and Luka Sipanska. This island is unbelievably rich in cultural heritage, tales from the past and well-preserved monuments that have witnessed its turbulent history. You will explore them by walking and cycling and there will be plenty of time to relax in local cafés.
Return to Lopud late in the afternoon.
The kayaks will take you around the island to the sandy beach of Sunj Bay on Lopud's southern side. This is the most popular beach of Dubrovnik. Diving mask, snorkel and fins will be provided for you to explore the rich and colorful underwater world of the Adriatic. A pleasant walk back to the village for dinner will only take half an hour, but you will be welcome to hike the longer western route through the forest and along high cliff edges.
Paddle, swim and snorkel around Kolocep Island, the most interesting island for sea kayaking and hiking. You will surely be impressed by the dramatic scenery with hidden dark caves, high cliffs and colourful reefs. Walk through Gornje Celo and Donje Celo, which are well-preserved romantic Mediterranean villages, and along high cliffs.
Return to Lopud late in the afternoon.
You will be free to do whatever you enjoy the most: sunbathing, swimming, snorkeling walking or kayaking. You will also have the possibility to take the ferry to Dubrovnik, shop in its ancient streets and walk along the old city walls. Ice cream or coffee taste the best in open-air bistros along the Stradun.
The Lokrum Island Reserve and its rocky beaches are also worth exploring.
Return to Lopud in the evening.
Kayaking and dolphin search is the main activity planned for this day. The exotic Sv. Andrija Island is a favourite spot for thousands of bird species, fishermen and dolphins.
You will also have the option to participate in a 1-day Trebizat River canoeing excursion in Herzegovina including a visit to Mostar, a wonderful old Ottoman empire town and trading post.
Or you will even have the possibility to take a boat trip to the National Park of Mljet Island, whose salt water lakes can be explored on foot, by bicyle, canoe or kayak (to be booked and paid on the spot).
The last kayaking trip destination is usually Trsteno village and arboretum - a wonderful park with a collection of exotic plants and trees, a Neptun's fountain with great views of the islands. A farewell party will be planned after sunset of the last evening on Lopud.
Your trip ends in the morning. Transfer to Dubrovnik for your homebound flight.
