Please note: The following itinerary is a flexible guide, subject to adjustments based on local weather conditions and group preferences.
Kornati National Park, an exquisite kayaking haven, unfolds with breathtaking scenery, captivating geomorphology, and a rich biocenosis of aquatic ecosystems across 89 uninhabited islands, islets, and reefs. The crown jewel, Kornat Island, lends its name to the entire archipelago. This adventure seamlessly blends kayaking with relaxation, offering an unparalleled exploration of untouched islands, dramatic cliffs, and vibrant wildlife. Our base camp on Levrnaka Island, a charming family-owned campsite, serves as the launchpad for this captivating journey.
Commence your adventure in the quaint town of Sv. Filip i Jakov, a stone's throw from Zadar. We convene in the early afternoon for a 3.5-hour boat ride to Levrnaka Island, our home for the tour. Upon arrival, we unload, set up camp, and, after dinner, unwind on the beach, review the itinerary, and prepare for the next day's exploration.
Our journey leads us to the contrasting landscapes of Telašćica Nature Park. We traverse the outer ring of the Kornati Archipelago, passing the scenic Lighthouse Island of Vela Sestrica. Exploring the tranquil lake Mir, we may paddle beneath the soaring cliffs before returning to Levrnaka through the archipelago's inner ring.
Discover the historical treasures of Kornat Island, including the 6th-century Fort Tureta and the Byzantine-era church of Holy Mother of Tarca. For panoramic views, hike to the summit of Metlina, the highest peak (237m). Mana Island beckons with its longest cliff crown and remnants of an old village. Our return journey follows Levrnaka's eastern shoreline, concluding at the serene Lojena beach.
Embark on our longest paddling day covering over 30 kilometers. Starting at Lojena beach, we venture along the archipelago's outer ring, stopping for lunch at the historically rich Island of Piškera. Lavsa, with its village and olive groves, provides a peaceful interlude before our return to Levrnaka.
Dive into a day of pure exploration as we kayak around the vast Kornati archipelago, discovering hidden gems and soaking in the unique charm of this remarkable landscape. It's a day dedicated to relaxed exploration and sheer enjoyment!
After a hearty breakfast, we load our gear onto a boat, preparing for the return journey, usually before noon. Details about meeting times on the mainland, transfers, and departure arrangements can be fine-tuned during the booking process, ensuring a seamless end to your Kornati kayaking odyssey.
July and August trips are primarily „relaxplorational“ due to very high temperatures and lack of shade in the area.
Meeting place on the first day is coffee bar „Buža“ in the “Town of Sv.Filip i Jakov“, 20 km south of Zadar. Our boat is on the same location but the meeting time will depend on our correspondence before the trip (during the booking process).
If coming to Croatia via plane, the closest airport is in Zadar, but City of Split is also close. Best way to get to Sv. Filip i Jakov is by Bus or with a Taxi.
Since Zadar is on our way home, we can transfer you to there on the last day of the trip.
