Our base for this trip is Lopud Island which is one hour by ferry from Dubrovnik harbor. Dubrovnik is one of world’s most beautiful old towns and the Elafiti shorelines are rich in history and natural variety - cliffs, caves, pine and palm trees, hidden coves, reefs and sandy beaches.

The Elafiti Islands Archipelago are made up of 13 green islands covered by pine forests, without car traffic, with lots of sunshine and sandy beaches and less than an hour sailing time from Dubrovnik. Lopud Island, Kolocep Island and Sipan Island 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 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 for rafting or canoeing or Mljet Island National Park.

Lopud Island has a small town of the same name with three hotels, several restaurants and cafes, 2 sandy beaches, no cars and great sunsets. You will stay in simple but clean and pleasant rooms in traditional stone houses.

Your Itinerary:

Day 1 - Sat: Arrival to Dubrovnik Airport and transfer to Lopud Island by bus and boat. Accommodation in a house very near the beach and waterfront – main street of the little town of Lopud. There will be time to enjoy a swim in the sea and walk to Fort Kastio on island’s highest peak for a wonderful view of sunset over Elafiti Islands. A tour of Lopud pubs and cafes will take place before and after dinner.   

Day 2 - Sun: 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. Sipan has colorful villages of Sudjuradj and Luka Sipanska. The fields between them have preserved the real country life style, chapels, monasteries, palaces and summer houses of ancient Dubrovnik aristocracy. This island is unbelievably rich in cultural heritage, tales from the past and well preserved monuments that witnessed its turbulent history. We will explore them by walking or bicycling and there will be plenty of time to relax on beaches or in cafes. We will return to Lopud late in the afternoon.

Day 3 - Mon: The kayaks will take us around the island to the sandy beach of Sunj Bay on Lopud’s Southern side. This is the most popular beach of Dubrovnik so we visit it on Monday when it’s not too busy. 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 takes only half hour but you are welcome to hike the longer western route through the forest and along the high cliffs edge.

Day 4 - Tue: Paddle, swim and snorkel around Kolocep Island, the most interesting for sea kayaking and hiking with most dramatic scenery with hidden dark caves, high cliffs and colorful reefs. Walk through Gornje Celo and Donje Celo, well preserved romantic Mediterranean villages, and along high cliffs. A pleasant noon siesta will take place in a quiet and relaxing atmosphere of Gornje Celo turquoise bay near Skerac – kayaker’s favorite restaurant. Late in the afternoon we shall return to Lopud.

Day 5 - Wed: Return home. You are free to spend your last day relaxing, sunbathing, swimming, snorkeling, walking or kayaking. We will arrange transfers to the airport for your return flight home.
