(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
The day starts in Dubrovnik’s main port Gruž in the morning. From there you’ll ferry to the island of Lopud and enjoy the scenic ride.
Lopud Island
After spending time discussing kayaking technique and safety, we’ll launch toward the island of Ruda and then paddle to Šipan and its harbor town of Šuđurađ.
Sipan
As the highlights mention midway through we trade our paddles for pedals and explore Šipan island, if not the most popular, then the most beautiful one in the Elaphite Archipelago. A traditional fishing island, with just two villages and one road only 5km (3miles) long. We trade kayaks for mountain bikes (before hopping on the saddle, we will discuss equipment and routes, which are customizable to cater to different physical abilities) and bike across the middle part of the island which is mostly flat with old olive growths, vineyards, stone villas and wild fig trees. In the village of Šipanska Luka on the island’s north end, we’ll stop for a delicious lunch of local delicacies at one of the region’s best kept restaurant secrets. After dessert, we’ll relax with a swim in the Adriatic before heading back the way we came.
