ITINERARY
Logistics & Gear
Where and when do we start?
Our tours typically start at 09:00 or 16:30/16:00/15:30 from our base in Tatinja Bay, Lumbarda.
You can find our exact location on Google Maps right here: Spirit of Korkyra Meeting Point
Do you offer pickups?
Yes! If you aren't staying in Lumbarda, we can pick you up in front of your hotel (Korčula town area, Žrnovo village, etc).
Alternatively, we pick up our guests at the main bus station in Korčula town - on Google Maps here: Main Bus Station Pickup Link. Just let us know in advance if you need a lift.
What should I wear and bring?
To keep you comfortable on the water and during our island walks, we suggest the following:
- Wear: Swimsuit, light shorts, and a t-shirt (lycra/quick-dry is best).
- Protection: Hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
- Footwear: Water shoes or strapped sandals like Teva or Keen (flip-flops are okay if you do not have water shoes).
Is there a place to leave my "land clothes"?
Yes! While we provide dry bags for your camera, phone, and towels/spare clothes to take with you, you can also leave your non-essential bags and dry clothes locked on shore.
What kind of specialized equipment do you use?
To ensure a smooth glide through the Adriatic, we use high-end, stable "sit-in" sea kayaks: P&H (Leo/Virgo) or Venture (Jura/Capella) for single paddlers and Prijon Poseidon for doubles. This isn't standard rental gear; these are professional boats chosen for their tracking and comfort.
Safety & Weather
Weather protocols and peace of mind
Your safety is our priority. If the winds (like the Maestral, Bura, or Jugo) exceed safe paddling limits, we may reschedule the tour or offer a full refund. We monitor the forecast hourly and will contact you as early as possible if things look a bit "choppy."
Are there bathrooms on the route?
Facilities are limited once we are out on the smaller islets. There are restrooms in some restaurants and bars on some of the islands, but we recommend using the facilities at home before the tour.
Local Flavors & Homemade Traditions
What kind of refreshments are served on the tour?
We take great pride in sharing the authentic flavors of Lumbarda. On our Bits of History and Sunset Tour, you will enjoy:
- Grk Wine - Family Produced: A world-renowned white wine made from an indigenous grape variety grown exclusively in the sandy vineyards of Lumbarda. It’s a rare, protected local treasure you won’t find anywhere else.
- Homemade "Klašun" Pastries: These traditional cakes are hand-baked by Ivka herself, following a cherished recipe passed down from her aunt. It’s a true taste of Korčula’s culinary heritage.
- Local Savories: We serve cheese and traditional anchovy canapés to complement the wine perfectly.
I have dietary restrictions. Can I still participate?
Definitely. Please notify us 24 hours in advance for vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free requirements so we can prepare a special treat for you.
Don't worry—before every tour, we send a quick check-in to all our guests to gather your info and preferences so we can make sure you're all set! :)
