Detailed Itinerary

Upon the arrival at Dubrovnik Airport or harbour you will be transferred to Zaton Bay, a village just outside of Dubrovnik. After boarding we will sail out northwest to Lopud island on our modern catamaran yacht for up to 10 passengers with a lot of deck space, comfort and very good sailing performance. Our first stop is Kolocep island, ideal for sea kayaking. For the night we will anchor in one of the most beautiful bays of the area for dinner and a swim.

Accommodation: yacht.

Day 2 – Sunday: Sipan island, Biking and Hiking

Luka Sipanska, on the far end of the island, is a charming and romantic fishing village in a bay surrounded with palm trees. Its beauty makes it a favorite mooring place of sailing yachts. Sipan is the largest of the the Elafiti Islands. We will explore its landscape, castles, chapels and monasteries by bikes or on foot. A pleasant day will be spent walking in the serene ambiance of the village, tasting local seafood and wines and enjoying a swim. We will sail between the other the Elafiti Islands with occasional swimming or snorkeling stops ending in Ston – a lovely old town unspoiled by tourism, with pleasant cafes and restaurants.

Day 3 – Monday: Mljet Island National Park Sailing, Cycling and Swimming

The third day of your holiday is reserved for Mljet Island National Park. Two salt water lakes surrounded by a lush, green forest, the larger one with a small island in the middle, make this island a spectacular location for kayaking, hiking, cycling and swimming. We will cycle from the boat to the lakes, where we will take a boat to the small island with a 15th century Benedictine monastery.

We will spend the day sea kayaking to the White Beach, a very special bay which can be reached only by boat or kayak. Its caves and reefs make it an ideal place for swimming and snorkeling.
