As it often goes in the kayaking world, organizing and gathering fresh supplies for the tour takes some time. Properly packing our kayaks is crucial, as we'll be sharing food and water along the journey.

After packing, we plan to paddle towards the historic Town of Rab, passing beneath its 2000-year-old fortification walls, rich with history. Perhaps we'll take a coffee break en route to the Kalifront forest.

Within this forest lies Dundovo, a part declared a natural rarity in 1949 due to its evergreen Crnika Tree (Helm Oak Tree).

Along our journey, we'll have ample opportunity to stop at the emerald bays dotting the coastline before reaching the point of Kalifront where we will establish our camp.

Renowned for its prized sage flower honey, and valued for its distinct medicinal properties, Prvić boasts a dozen beaches along its western coast, complemented by towering cliffs and mesmerizing shades of blue in its emerald coves.

Our journey will include a lunch break on the secluded beach of the island's east side before we resume paddling amidst the towering cliffs, keeping an eye out for the majestic Griffon Vultures that call this place home. The lofty cliffs provide welcome shade, enhancing our paddling experience, particularly on warm summer days.

Upon reaching the island's northern tip, where the historic lighthouse, erected in 1875, stands firm against the fierce bura wind, a panoramic vista unfolds before us, revealing the vast expanse of the horizon. Following a refreshing swim along the emerald coastline, we'll navigate back to our campsite, already prepared for our arrival, where we'll relish dinner beneath the star-studded sky.
