Paddle a kayak through the sheltered waters of the Bay of Kotor, admiring the natural beauty of the fjord-like landscape and the walled medieval city of Kotor.

After a short walk from the pier, you will arrive at the kayak station for a brief orientation to ensure that you will get the most out of this outdoor experience. You will then ease into a kayak and paddle out into the magnificent Bay of Kotor, known locally as “Boka.”

Sheltered by limestone mountains, the water is typically calm and ideal for kayaking. The landscape in every direction will be immensely picturesque with cliffs so precipitous that the bay is often referred to as the southernmost fjord in Europe. It’s that stunningly beautiful.

From the sea-level vantage point of the kayak, you will enjoy a unique perspective of Kotor. You will clearly see the medieval defensive walls that protected the city for centuries and the spires of historical churches that dot the distinctive skyline. UNESCO considers the city so culturally important that it has named Kotor a “World Natural and Historical Heritage Site.”

As you paddle along the nearly four-mile route, the guide will point out architectural highlights and natural wonders, so your understanding of the area will be all the more in depth. You will also have the opportunity to take a refreshing swim and snorkel in the bay’s crystal-clear waters. Following your kayaking adventure, you will walk back to the pier.

Hike a winding forest trail through some of the most spectacular countryside on Kauai, a natural wonderland that lives up to its nickname, the “Garden Island.”

After departing from the pier, you will learn about the history of Kauai from the local guide, who will regale you with stories of the “Garden Island.” The oldest and northernmost island in the Hawaiian chain, Kauai is covered by tropical rainforest, emerald-green valleys and jagged mountains of volcanic origin. It is a gorgeous setting for hiking through the forest.

The trail that you will follow covers about five miles and is immensely picturesque the entire time. As you hike through the lush wilderness, you will gaze out over some of the most extraordinary terrain in Hawaii. You can expect to see thundering waterfalls, primeval mountains and deep valleys, all created by ancient volcanic activity.

Along the way, the guide will point out the most interesting flora and fauna, especially those endemic to Kauai. You may see indigenous white plumbago in bloom, unusual ferns on the forest floor, brightly colored bromeliads clinging to tree branches and native forest birds such as the Kauai Amakihi and the Anianiau, the smallest of Hawaii’s honeycreepers.
