A way to find a perfect Croatian holiday

Full Moon Kayaking

Set off from the shore on an unforgettable kayaking experience under the full moon, surrounded by the calm sea and the magical glow of the night. An experience that blends peace, nature, and the mystical beauty of moonlight — a memory that will stay with you for a long time.

Activity description

The tour begins from Ručica beach near Metajna village. After the guide introduces the guests to the tour and hands them the equipment, the kayak tour embarks towards Slana beach. The quiet of the night, with only the sound of paddles touching the water, creates a calm and relaxing experience. The glow of the Moon reflecting on the water creates a spectacular scene as you paddle trhough the night. On Slana beach a short break is planned. The moonlight illuminates the surroundings enough to see the contours of the landscape and enjoy the view of the unique environment. After the break the route continues toward Beriknica beach, where a longer break is planned. Beriknica is one of the most stunning beaches of the island of Pag, which astonishes with its natural formation of three large boulders in the sea, and watching them illuminated by the brilliant moonlight creates an exquisite experience. On the beach every participant receives a refreshing drink, after which follows the return to Ručica beach. Paddling under the light of the full Moon creates the feeling of tranquility and connection to the nature. The reflection of the moonlight is refracted on the waves, creating a magical dance of light and shadow. The water appears to be sparking, which creates an atmosphere you will remember for a long time.
