Kobas is a famous sailor's retreat on Peljesac Peninsula. It is a bay with a sandy beach and a lovely marina. Just a few yachts around, several shacks of (great) casual fish restaurants, and best of all ... peace and quiet. We will explore the bay in our sea kayaks and snorkeling.

Day 3 - Mon: Sea kayaking Mali Ston and snorkeling

Sea kayaking in Mali Ston ("Little Ston") which is famous for the cultivation of oysters and oyster specialities. The bay is warm and shallow, ideal for snorkeling and exploring the underwater world.

Today's adventure takes us to the most exciting karst areas of Herzegovina. We will enjoy a trip on the narrow Trebizat River, surrounded by lush forests teeming with birds and the stunningly beautiful karst landscape that has been formed by the river for thousands of years. A traditional lunch will be followed by a visit of Mostar, the cultural and economic center of Herzegovina. Return to Croatia.

Day 5 – Wed: Mljet Island National Park sea kayaking

The northern part of the island is covered with dense, green forest. Mljet Island National Park has two beautiful salt water lakes, one with a 14th century monastery on a tiny island. We will explore them on foot, sea kayaking and swimming in the warm waters of the lakes.  There will be time for a fresh seafood lunch in a fisherman's village.  

Day 6 - Thu: Kolocep island sea kayaking, sailing and Dubrovnik sightseeing

Sea kayaking around Kolocep, one of the Elafiti Islands and the best sea kayaking island in the Adriatic. Kolocep is extremely interesting for its dramatic scenery with hidden dark caves, high cliffs and colorful reefs. In the afternoon we will visit Dubrovnik, the most beautiful of all Mediterranean towns. There will be time for sightseeing, shopping in ancient streets, walking along the old city walls… Ice cream or coffee taste best in open air bistros along Stradun, the Old Town's main street and promenade.
