What To Expect
Let us take you through history while being immersed in nature and the sea! We will be exploring little islands in front of Lumbarda and Korčula while being active in kayak. Our stops include small islands like Gubavac, Vrnik, and Badija. On Gubavac we will relax, drink coffee or tea, and try homemade produce like Klašun cake and Grk wine. And on Vrnik we will explore stone quarries which are a testimony to the continuity and tradition of quarrying until this very day. One of our stops will also be an old Franciscan monastery on the island of Badija which had a turbulent past but managed to keep its beauty. We will stop on small remote beaches to relax and swim in the sea depending on the group's wishes.

A really fun way to learn some local history!

5.00Boris is a fantastic host on his Kayak tour! He has put alot of thoughtfulness and care into creating a super fun and safe experience on the water and each little stop along the way. I loved learning about the history of Korcula and some specific spots of historical significance that we stopped at on the little islands. Boris shared some really cool insights about island life and the traditions that are kept alive in his family, we got to try some delicious Grk made by his family along with homemade special pastries. Thanks for the lovely day out!
Fantastic time kayaking in a beautiful setting

5.00What a fantastic experience with Boris! He communicates clearly with safety of each client in mind, which is reassuring for beginners. I had sent emails to his wife, Ivka, to check that this would be comfortable for my tall husband and had great responses too. On the day, we had enough time on the water with breaks for local history on the nearby islands. This is a well thought out tour of the area in a beautiful setting. Boris' family had prepared some small snacks and wine for us to try that are handmade to their family recipes... delicious! I would highly recommend kayaking with this company to anyone visiting Korcula. We loved our time with them. NOTE: We chose to book direct as this is better for the tour operators but I wrote this review here as many people look on TripAdvisor first.
This was awesome! Boris...

5.00This was awesome! Boris gave us so much information on the history of Croatia and different tidbits that were specific to each island we stopped at. The homemade pastries were amazing, and we got to try a wine native to Korcula! 10/10 recommend, absolutely beautiful.
Great tour!

5.00Wow, what a special experience! You really should book this. We did the 9am-1pm tour. Boris is a wonderful guide. He picked us up in Korcula and brought us to Lumarda to begin the tour. He made sure we were comfortable with the equipment and helped us in and out of the kayak each time. We had an easy paddle- never rushed or strenuous, breaking frequently for stops on three different islands to learn some local history and taste two local desserts and two local drinks. Everything was homemade by his family and it was delicious. Boris is easy to chat with and so knowledgeable about everything. This is his own business and you can tell he’s invested in giving you a special experience, not just making money. It was very good value. I highly recommend this tour!
Best way to see Korcula islands and learning local history!

5.00Boris was an excellent guide and we loved the trip! The small group experience was so much better than a large kayak tour. Kayaking to the nearby islands and learning local history increased our appreciation for what we were seeing along the way. And the homemade snacks,desserts and local wine were a special treat. This was one the best small group tours we have ever done…thank you Boris for sharing so much about your history and culture!
For sure a recommendation
