Budva: Winter Sea Kayak Tour to Caves & St Nicholas Island

Show all photos
4 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

This guided winter tour turns Budva’s coastline into a calm sea-kayak loop. We start at Slovenska Beach and paddle in a small group below the Old Town walls and rocky shore, then continue to coastal caves. The guide leads you into Pigeon Cave and low sea passages that are only practical by kayak.

The second part focuses on St Nicholas Island. We land near a small chapel linked to medieval travellers and crusader stories, take a short walk and have a light snack, then follow the wilder side of the island under the Lovers’ Arch and out towards the lighthouse at the far tip.

On calm days the guide also points out St Sava’s shoal, a shallow strip that seems to stretch from the island back towards Budva. Sea kayaks with spray skirts, winter waterproof suits and buoyancy aids make this a realistic cold-season adventure for reasonably fit beginners and intermediate paddlers.
