Detailed itinerary
1
Stop 1
We meet at our kayak centre on Lopud island. After a safety talk and kayaking instructions, we set off across the channel for the island of Šipan.
2
Stop 2
Heading south and west, we first paddle to a natural stone arch which is a perfect photo-op. Under this archway, you can see the Adriatic sea open up in all of its glory.
3
Stop 3
Next, we regroup and paddle along the coast to the hidden Green Cave. We’ll then tie up our kayaks and get ready for a wonderful morning of swimming and cliff jumping. But first, we’ll grab snorkels and masks and swim down through the cave’s opening. Very few know about this cave … even the locals. Inside,there is plenty of room for swimming and even standing. This large, and safe, cave opens up to reveal an ethereal green light caused by the sun’s reflection off the sandy bottom. After, the group will swim in the deep cove outside the grotto’s entrance and try some cliff jumping.
4
Stop 4
We continue on to the delightful fishing village of Šuđurađ, on Šipan, for a lunch of local delicacies. We'll have some free time for sightseeing.

Stop 5
Following lunch, we paddle back toward Lopud. Before calling it a day, we stop at the island of Ruda - our third island of the day – to explore and kayak into another cave. We'll be back on Lopud in the afternoon.
