Medulin Boat Tour: Kamenjak Cave, Porer Lighthouse & Levan

Swim inside a sea cave, then anchor at a sandy island for the afternoon

This full-day boat tour departs from Medulin and cruises the protected coastline of Cape Kamenjak, Porer Lighthouse and Levan Island, with a live guide in English, Italian or German. You swim inside Golumbera sea cave under the cliffs of Kamenjak National Park, sail past the 1846 Porer Lighthouse (an 80-meter tower on an islet 2.5 km offshore), and spend two hours on Levan, the only sandy island in the archipelago. Lunch is prepared on board with a choice of tuna steak, meat, fish or vegetarian menu, and drinks — draft wine, beer, cola, fanta and water — are unlimited throughout the cruise.

Step-by-step itinerary

Boat tour to Kamenjak and Levan Island

• Swim and explore Golumbera cave
• View Porer Lighthouse from boat
• Enjoy lunch while cruising isles
• Relax and swim on Levan Island

The Experience

The boat leaves Medulin and heads first to Cape Kamenjak, where you stop to swim inside Golumbera, a hidden sea cave carved into the cliffs of the national park. Your guide leads the way, and you can dive under the rock face to explore the interior, jump off the boat to dive and snorkel, or stay on deck and feed the fish while the crew prepares lunch below.

After Kamenjak, the boat sails slowly past Porer Lighthouse, built in 1846 on a rocky islet 2.5 kilometers southwest of the mainland. The 35-meter stone tower rises from an 80-meter cliff, and while the boat cannot dock, you get close enough to photograph it clearly. Along the way, you pass smaller islands — Bodulaš, Ceja, Finera — and hidden coves, sometimes joined by a stray dolphin. Lunch is served on board as you cruise, with your choice of tuna steak, meat, fish or a vegetarian plate, plus unlimited wine, beer, soft drinks and water.

The final stop is Levan, the northernmost and only sandy island in the archipelago. You anchor here for two hours to swim, sunbathe and rest. Three beach bars and restaurants operate on the island, and you can rent umbrellas and lounge chairs if you want shade. The boat departs in time to return to Medulin by late afternoon.

Is this one for you?This is a shared boat tour with a guide leading the group, so it suits travelers who want the stops and the swimming arranged without building the day themselves. The five-hour length and the two-hour beach break on Levan work well if you want a full morning and afternoon on the water but need time to rest and explore the island without rushing.

Top questions

What exactly is Golumbera sea cave and what do you do when you swim there?

Golumbera is a hidden sea cave carved into the cliffs of Kamenjak National Park, accessible only by boat. Your guide leads a guided swim into the cave's interior, and you can dive under the rock face to explore it, jump off the boat to snorkel around the entrance, or stay on deck and feed the fish while others swim.

Can the boat actually get close to Porer Lighthouse, or do you just see it from a distance?

Porer Lighthouse sits on an 80-meter cliff on a rocky islet 2.5 kilometers offshore, so the boat cannot dock there. The captain sails as close as safely possible so you can photograph the 35-meter tower and the stone building clearly, but you view it from the water rather than landing on it.

How long do you spend on Levan Island and what is there to do?

You have a two-hour break on Levan, the only sandy island in the archipelago. You can swim in the clear water, sunbathe on the sand, or relax at one of three beach bars and restaurants on the island. Beach umbrellas and lounge chairs are available to rent if you want shade.

Is lunch included, and what are the menu options?

Yes, lunch is freshly prepared on board and included in the price. You choose from tuna steak, meat, fish or a vegetarian menu. All drinks throughout the cruise — draft wine, beer, cola, fanta and water — are also unlimited and included.

How long is the full tour and what time does it start and end?

The tour runs five hours total. It departs from Medulin in the morning and returns by late afternoon, with the exact departure time confirmed when you book.
