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

This guided winter tour offers a unique way to experience Budva’s coastline on a calm sea-kayak loop. Starting at Slovenska Beach, participants paddle in a small group along the rocky shore beneath the Old Town walls, exploring scenic coastal caves along the way. The guide leads the group into Pigeon Cave and through low sea passages accessible only by kayak, providing an intimate and adventurous perspective of the coastline.

The second part of the tour focuses on St Nicholas Island, where participants land near a small chapel tied to medieval travelers and crusader stories. A short walk and light snack follow before exploring the wilder side of the island, passing under the Lovers’ Arch and continuing toward the lighthouse at the island’s far tip. On calm days, the guide highlights St Sava’s shoal, a shallow strip that appears to stretch from the island back to Budva. Equipped with sea kayaks with spray skirts, winter waterproof suits, and buoyancy aids, this tour offers a realistic cold-season adventure suitable for reasonably fit beginners and intermediate paddlers.
