Detailed itinerary

We push off from the mainland and begin our paddle across the shallow strait. The island lies ahead, quiet and green against the sea.

A rocky cove where we land the kayaks and stretch our legs. From here, the trail winds gently into the island.

The Viewpoint - a narrow ridge with sea on both sides and wind in your hair. One of the island’s highest points, perfect for a long pause.

Perched at the farthest edge of the island, facing the open Adriatic. Nothing but wind, water, and sky — the world feels far away here.

Swallow Point:
A quiet cliff where birds dive, circle, and sweep past in flocks. They fill the sky above and the air below your feet.

From the water, Budva’s old town rises above the rocks. Stone walls, red roofs, and centuries of history in one quiet view.
