Kayaking and hiking excursion on Sveti Nikola Island from Budva

Discover the wild side of Budva with a kayaking and hiking excursion to Sveti Nikola Island!

Escape the bustling beaches and embark on a 3 to 4-hour journey to the most iconic island in the Adriatic. This guided excursion is perfect for those who want to combine a peaceful paddle with a scenic hike through untouched nature.

Your adventure begins at Slovenska Plaža, where you’ll push off from the mainland and paddle across a shallow rocky strait. As you reach the wild shores of Sveti Nikola Island, you will land your kayak at Laguna Beach, a quiet rocky cove, to begin your hike. The trail winds through pine-covered paths and rocky ridges where you might spot the island’s wildlife, such as sea turtles or even deer.

The highlights of the trek include reaching the island’s highest viewpoint, where you can feel the wind in your hair and enjoy sweeping views of the open sea on both sides. You will then continue to the lighthouse perched at the farthest edge of the island. Facing the endless Adriatic, this spot offers a moment of total serenity where the world feels far away. Before heading back, you'll pass Swallow Point, a quiet cliff where flocks of birds dive and circle in the sky above the sea.

The return journey is just as magical, as you paddle back toward the mainland during the golden hour. From the water, you will have a unique view of Budva’s Old Town, with its ancient stone walls and red roofs glowing in the soft evening light. This excursion is the perfect way to explore hidden coves and sea cliffs far from the crowds, ending your day with a peaceful paddle back to the meeting point.
