Korcula Kayaking Tour
Lago di Korcula
Half Day
For millenia people have sailed around Korcula to explore, conquer, trade…nowadays these crystaline waters lure modern travelers who want to discover both history and nature in one of the most beautiful corners of the Adriatic sea. Islets and rocks scattered between towns of Korcula, Lumbarda and Orebic are a getaway for locals and provide little pebble beaches, clear water, more or less secluded and protected coves; Badija has a Franciscan monastery, Vrnik stunning quarries from the Roman times. The backdrop to this eye-pleasing scenery is the mountain of Saint Ilija towering mightily almost a kilometer above the sea level guarding the strait between Peljesac peninsula and Korcula island.
Feeling good about this trip is what matters – our pace follows the agility and ability of the group and adapts to weather conditions. First step is we pick you up in the center of the town and get transfer to our kayaking base where we start with introduction to the activity and equipment, safety briefing and then we set out.
Our sea kayaking tour including (usually) 2 stops for swimming, snorkeling and relax takes you around islets of Badija and Vrnik to enjoy different angles of the area that in the past witnessed some of the major naval battles as well as capturing Marco Polo by the Genovese fleet. Those days are gone, today it’s all about fishermen, nature lovers, modern explorers, yachtsmen and sea kayakers seeking their special spot in this magical archipelago.
