Spirit of Korkyra is a small, family-run business - not a franchise. Boris and Ivka built it from scratch, and Ivka grew up right here in Lumbarda.
We time this tour to end golden hour on the water - paddling past Vrnik's old stone quarries and Badija's monastery and free-roaming deer, before finishing at Gubavac as the light turns for sunset. It's the same route as our morning tour, but the light and pace make it a completely different experience.
Gubavac itself isn't reached by taxi boats or big group tours, so you get it quiet, with homemade Grk wine from our own family production in Lumbarda and traditional Klašun pastries to end the evening.
With a max of 10 guests, we adjust the pace to the group - this isn't a fixed script, it's shaped around who's paddling with us that evening.
There, you'll get your equipment: a life jacket, dry bag, and a sit-in single or double kayak. We'll give a safety briefing and, if you're new to kayaking, a short paddling lesson before we set off. From there, we take you through history while staying active in nature and at sea as the evening light begins to change. We paddle out to three small islands facing Lumbarda and Korčula: Vrnik, Badija, and Gubavac. On Vrnik, we explore old limestone quarries - worked for centuries and still part of local tradition - and walk through the village to hear its stories. On Badija, we walk around a 15th-century Franciscan monastery with a turbulent past that still holds its beauty, and meet the deer that roam freely. On Gubavac, we slow down for the best part of the evening: watching the sun drop into the sea while swimming, relaxing, and tasting homemade Klašun pastries and Grk wine. This island isn't reached by taxi boats or big tour groups, so it stays quiet — perfect for ending the day. In total, you'll paddle around 2 hours, with the rest spent on land, swimming, and relaxing.
