Our weeklong sea kayaking tours, Island Hopping, Paddle Dalmatia, and Mljet Island/ Zaton Bay give you a true taste of Adriatic island life. You’ll enjoy crystal clear seas, plenty of sunshine, and a rich cultural heritage. Kayak tours include cave swimming, snorkeling, cliff-jumping, and Mediterranean cuisine in family-owned seaside restaurants. You’ll paddle to uninhabited islands, cycle past Renaissance villas set in Tuscan-like landscapes and hike goat trails scented with wild lavender and rosemary. Multi-sport tours, Best of Balkans, Pedal & Paddle Mljet, and Montenegro Mountains & Sea, feature white water rafting Europe’s longest, deepest gorge, hiking in coastal and alpine national parks, and village to village cycling. Active vacationers find the laid-back atmosphere, warm Adriatic climate, and connection to the sea truly satisfying.

The rich selection of multi-day tours in 2020 offers a greater range of activities, island and mountain settings, and accommodation. Accommodation on most tours is B & Bs chosen for their local character, however, the range spans from full-service hotels to camping under the stars and log cabin mountain bungalows.  Our classic 4 night Short Break kayak tour is a condensed version of Island Hopping and our new in 2020 Weekender Getaway Tour is a 2 to 3-night activity-filled weekend escape full of sunshine and sea.
