The tour begins with kayaking to Vrnik Island, where guests explore old quarries and a small village, learning about the island’s history. Next, the group paddles to Badija Island, known for its monastery and the presence of calm deer that roam the area. The guide adapts the route based on the group’s preferences and abilities. On a final uninhabited island, participants are served homemade Grk wine from Lumbarda and traditional pastries called Klašun, originally from Korčula town. The tour includes the use of double or single sit-in kayaks, paddles, life jackets, dry bags, spray skirts, as well as alcoholic and carbonated beverages and snacks.
We pick you up from your hotel 15–20 minutes before departure and drive to Tatinja Bay, our starting point. There, you'll get your equipment - a life jacket, dry bag, and a sit-in single or double kayak. We'll give a safety briefing and, if you're new to kayaking, a short paddling lesson before we set off. From there, we take you through history while staying active in nature and the sea. We paddle out to three small islands facing Lumbarda and Korčula: Vrnik, Badija, and Gubavac. On Vrnik, we explore the island's old limestone quarries - worked for centuries and still part of local tradition today. We will also walk through the village and hear the stories about the island. On Badija, we will walk around a 15th-century Franciscan monastery with a turbulent past that still holds its beauty. Here we will also have a chance to meet deers that roam freely. On Gubavac, we slow down: swimming, relaxing, and tasting our homemade Klašun pastries and famous white wine Grk. This island isn't reached by taxi boats or big tour groups, so it stays quiet, perfect for relaxing. In total, you'll paddle around 2 hours, with the rest spent exploring on land, swimming, and relaxing.
