Sea kayaking the Elaphiti Islands, Croatia

Sea kayaking the Elaphiti Islands, Croatia

You sit, you paddle, you stop at coves no tour boat can reach — sea kayaking is the gentlest door into adventure. From Dubrovnik, day trips round Lokrum's cliffs and caves; multi-day trips island-hop the Elaphitis, with luggage transferred and dinner waiting. The Adriatic in June is calm, warm and absurdly clear. Sore shoulders on day one, quiet smugness thereafter.
