Bits of History – Half day Kayak Tour

€56 per person

Let us take you through history while being immersed in nature!

On this tour, we will explore history and nature through kayak experience.
We will take you to the little islands in front of Lumbarda to explore old limestone quarries and a monastery.

Our first stop will be a small Island called Vrnik with old quarries dating from Antiquity to later ones in the 20th century. Numerous buildings and art pieces in Korčula and nearby Dubrovnik were made from stone from Vrnik.

Our next stop will be an old Franciscan monastery on the island of Badija which had a turbulent past but managed to keep its beauty.

We will also stop on small deserted islands like Gubavac or Sutvara with amazing pebble-stone beaches. We will have time to relax and have a swim. This stop is also reserved for GRK wine tasting and homemade Klašun pastries.

Complimentary – Wine tasting – famous white wine called “GRK” from Lumbarda, and a homemade local pastry called “Klašun”.
