What to expect:
Our kayak tour begins at Rukavac bay, where we’ll paddle toward Stiniva bay—renowned as the most beautiful and stunning bay on Vis Island and in the entire region. Stiniva bay was formed ages ago when the ceiling of a massive cave collapsed, shaping the bay and the two towering cliffs that now enclose the cove, which once served as the cave’s entrance. Protected as a significant landscape since 1967, Stiniva bay offers an unforgettable kayaking experience.

Our journey continues as we paddle on to Silver beach, another hidden coastal paradise. Our final destination is the famous Green cave, located on the open-sea side of Ravnik Islet. This unique cave is known for the striking green beam of light that pierces through the opening in its ceiling and reflects off the sea’s surface. Afterward, we return to Rukavac bay and arrange transportation back to Komiža or Vis Town.
