When it comes to kayaking around Korcula Island, two tours stand out from the pack. I love the Lumbarda-Sunset experience, which packs great value into 3.5 hours with its combination of paddling and local treats – including wine and traditional snacks. My other favorite is the Half-Day Lago Di Korcula tour, where small groups get personalized attention while exploring hidden coves and snorkeling spots. Both offerings feature top-notch guides and well-planned routes. The sunset tour works well for families (it’s stroller-accessible), while the half-day adventure is better suited for active travelers without mobility issues. Let’s look at both options in detail.
