Kayakers who venture to Koločep are rewarded with a sweeping vista of steep cliffs that rise abruptly from the sea, revealing dramatic wind-carved caves. Visit the island’s two small settlements, hike its shady walking trails, and fill your dry bag with homemade jams, dried herbs, candied fruits, and virgin olive oil purchased from a local family. Paddle to an unforgettable lunch at a charming seaside restaurant in one of the island’s small settlements. Highlights include swimming and snorkeling in a secluded cove surrounded by towering cliffs, walking through pine forest and citrus groves, feasting on grilled sea bass or steamed mussels, and a visit to a family farm stand selling homemade Koločep products: olive oil, brandies, lavender packets and candied citrus fruits.

The Koločep day tour has a flexible itinerary, easily adapted to accommodate groups and daily weather and sea conditions. The tour begins in the protected waters of Zaton Bay. A short version includes a crossing  to one to the two small villages on the island, roughly 1 to 1.5 hours  of paddling each way. The island's network of walking trails connects the two small villages as well as the inland sea side to the open sea side. A slightly longer itinerary includes an additional paddle along towering cliffs to caves on the backside of the island, 1.5 to 2 hour of paddling in the morning and again in the afternoon. A crossing and full circumnavigation of Koločep Island is roughly five hours of kayaking: 2.5 hours in the morning and in the afternoon. 

Lunch, at a lovely seaside restaurant in a village on Koločep Island, is not included in the tour price.
