The experience

You start at Becici beach with a safety briefing, then paddle a high-quality sit-on-top kayak along the Montenegrin coast. The route passes five named beaches (Rafailovici, Kamenovo, Przno, Queen's and King's) each one a stop to swim or rest. A live guide leads the group, pointing out Villa Milocer and narrating the history of each site as you approach it.

Sveti Stefan itself is the centerpiece: a former fishing village that became a luxury hotel in the mid-20th century and now sits closed to regular visitors. From the water, you paddle around its thick stone walls and red-roofed houses to see the island up close, then swim in the clear water nearby and cliff jump if you want to. The guide captures these moments on a GoPro throughout the tour.

After the paddle ends, you receive a link to download the photos and videos: a record of the day that goes beyond what you could shoot yourself from a kayak. Life jacket, dry bag and all equipment are provided. The tour runs 3.5 hours total, and the guide is available in English, Russian or Serbian depending on the option you choose at checkout.

What exactly is Sveti Stefan, and why is it famous?

Sveti Stefan is a small island off the Montenegrin coast that was originally a fishing village. In the mid-20th century it became a luxury hotel, and it remains one of the most photographed sites on the Adriatic. The tour paddles around it so you see the island's distinctive white shutters and red roofs from the water, and you can swim near its walls.

Do I get to land on Sveti Stefan Island itself?

The island is closed to visitors, so you cannot land on it. You paddle around it, swim in the water nearby, and can cliff jump from the rocks. The guide positions the group so you see the full island and its architecture from the kayak.

What happens to the photos and videos the guide takes?

The guide records the tour on a GoPro. After the tour ends, you receive a link to download all the photos and videos, so you have a record of the day without needing to manage a camera yourself while paddling.
