Korcula Buggy Official Safari Tour is a 4-hour guided drive along the island's southern coast in an open buggy, led by founders Branko and Ana, with stops at Lumbarda vineyards, a WWII monument, a beach swim, and a tasting of local wines and homemade delicacies at their family estate. The tour operates year-round with personalized pickups for cruise passengers and a guarantee of return before ship departure. English-speaking guide, small group format, and a focus on safety over speed set this apart from mass-market excursions.

The Experience

Branko and Ana have run the original buggy experience on Korcula since 2013, and the tour reflects that—it's not a franchise operation or a high-volume cruise line package. You drive the 36–42 km route along the southern coast in an open buggy, moving through scenic hills and fields with panoramic views across the sea and neighboring islands. The pace is built for safety and conversation, not adrenaline; reckless driving and property damage are not part of the deal.

The route takes you through the Lumbarda vineyards, home to Grk wine, and past WWII monuments that mark the island's history. A beach stop lets you swim in the sea and drink homemade natural juice before the day's centerpiece: a visit to Branko and Ana's family estate. There, in their wine cellar and hunter's room, you taste premium local wines and eat homemade delicacies—pancakes, goat cheese, prosciutto—prepared by the people running the tour. This is not a catered stop at a restaurant; it's their space, their food, their selection.

For cruise passengers, the tour includes personalized port pickup and a return time coordinated with ship departure, so you're not calculating risk at the gangway. If you're staying on the island, standard pickups are arranged. The tour runs four hours and works for anyone with moderate fitness; children under 18 can join but won't participate in wine tastings.
