Kayaking

One of my favourite ways to spend a morning. The coastline around Ližnjan is full of small coves and rocky inlets that you can only really explore by water — and kayaking is the perfect way to do it.

Where to Go

The island of Levan — a small island just offshore. Paddle out, swim, have a picnic, paddle back. The water around it is incredibly clear.

Marlera coast — rocky and wild, with caves and coves to explore. Great for snorkelling stops along the way.

Rentals & Tours

You can rent kayaks locally or book a guided tour. I recommend Puls Events — they run tours that include kayaking, snorkelling, and swimming stops. They provide everything and know the best spots.

For experienced kayakers, renting and going solo is easy. The sea here is usually calm in the morning.

Tips

Go early. The water is calmest before noon, and you’ll beat the heat.

Bring snorkelling gear. Stop at one of the rocky coves and explore underwater.

Wear a hat and sunscreen. You’re on the water for a couple of hours — the sun is strong.

No experience needed for the guided tours — they’ll teach you the basics. It’s a great activity for families with older kids too.
