Detailed Itinerary

Day 1: Dubrovnik - Elafiti Islands

Upon arrival into Dubrovnik, a beautiful walled medieval city wedged between the Adriatic Sea and the mountains of Bosnia-Herzegovina, we’ll transfer to the ferry terminal and catch a boat to Lopud Island, the middle of the 3 inhabited islands in the Elafiti Archipelago and a perfect base for kayak touring the Dalmatian coast and islands. The scenic journey is about one hour and is the ideal introduction to the surrounding islands. Upon arrival into Lopud, we’ll check into our guesthouse and have the remainder of the day to relax and explore, after the long day of transfers. (D)

Days 2-4: Elafiti Islands (Sea Kayaking and Snorkeling)

After breakfast, we'll gear up with our kayaks and equipment, and go through a safety and technique briefing. The next 3-days we’ll spend paddling and snorkeling amongst the Elafiti Archipelago, the Dalmatian Coast and the surrounding islands. There are no cars or roads in Lopud and the population is roughly 150 people. Our base is a quaint stone guesthouse and each room has a private bath and refrigerator. All our meals are served outdoors. Breakfast is in the guesthouse’s stone courtyard. Lunches are at island restaurants or picnics while kayaking. Dinners are long and relaxed, served family style at a private restaurant on the hill overlooking Lopud Bay. The food is organic and locally grown and the Croatian beer and wine are superb. Lopud has sugary sand beaches for swimming and relaxing, an intricate network of hiking trails, a 13th century monastery, and one town with a single commercial store that sells food, drinks, and basic items.

Days 5-6: Mljet Island - Dubrovnik (Mountain Biking and Hiking)

On the morning of day 5 we’ll move to the island of Mljet, a much larger island with several villages. We’ll check into our cozy hotel, located in Mljet’s National Park. This park covers the northwest 1/3 of the island. From our hotel base in Pomena, the hiking and biking trails in the National Park are at our doorstep. We’ll spend the next day and a half biking and hiking on a series of gritty gravel roads and trails in the park, known for its 2 inland sea-fed lakes and dense pine forests. Breakfast and dinner are served at the hotel and lunch is a packed picnic. Late on day 6 we’ll ferry back to Dubrovnik, check into our guesthouse then head out for a late dinner and a final night in Stari Grad. Afterwards there’s time to explore the intricate maze of stone streets and historic buildings inside the city walls. Dubrovnik has been completely restored from the war damage incurred during the 1991-1995 Balkan War. The city is a UNESCO protected World Heritage site. (B,L,D on Day 5 & B,L on Day 6)
