ABOUT VIS HIKING
What is it about islands that makes them such appealing places for a walking? Perhaps it’s the slower pace of life that encourages gentle rambling, that feeling of escape from the hurly-burly of the real world, the sense of exploring.
Hike to the highest peak of Vis island and enjoy the spectacular panoramic view or explore authentic villages near Komiza and the beauty of traditional architecture. The forests, macchia-covered land, rocks, and coastline karrens create diverse island habitats for hundreds of plant species, including aromatic, medicinal, seasoning, and honey-producing varieties. Some are very rare and categorized as endangered island species.We offer two various hiking tours :
HIKE TO THE TOP OF VIS ISLAND
Hike to the highest peak of Vis Island, Hum (587 m), and enjoy the spectacular panoramic view of Komiža town and the surrounding islands, which are part of the Vis archipelago, a UNESCO Global Geopark. Let the scents of rosemary, lavender, immortelle, sage, and other plants awaken your life energy and release accumulated stress. Enjoy the moment!
