Transfer by boat or ferry from Dubrovnik to Lopud Island. It takes up to 50 minutes to get from Dubrovnik harbour to Lopud island. After some kayaking instruction in the bay, we head with our kayaks to the island of Sipan and the colorful villages of Sudjuradj and Luka Sipanska. The kayaking takes about 40 minutes one way.
The fields between these villages have preserved the traditional country life style with 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 have witnessed its turbulent history. Equipment: We use professional sit-on-top kayaks with 2 seats and a 3rd one in the middle for children. You will get a dry bag for personal items (camera, drinks, etc.), a life jacket, a paddle and snorkel gear.
Lopud is an island with lots of sunshine, sandy beaches and palm trees, devoid of traffic, less than one hour ferry time from Dubrovnik. The only town has no more than a couple of hundred permanent residents, old houses of beautiful architecture and abundance of flowers everywhere which contribute to an easy going life style. Lopud island produces its own seafood, vegetables, fruit and even tropical fruit like lemons, oranges and kiwis.
Here on the sandy beach we will board the sea kayaks and start a journey through a dramatic landscape of giant rocks, high cliffs, colorful reefs, hidden caves and quiet bays. We will explore the silent underwater world and visit the small fishermen village Sudjurad on Sipan island. Meeting/pick-up point: In front of the Hotel Petka.
Start/opening time: Between 15th May and 30th Septenber, on Thursdays at 10am. Please, arrive some minutes before the staring time, because the boat leaves at 10am.
