This tour starts in the romantic fishing village of Pestani, where you'll get your kayak and gear.

Hop on your kayak and discover the eastern part of the astonishing lake of Ohrid. Various landmarks will be visible from that point, such as the ancient Bay of Bones and the idyllic village of Trpejca. Relax and set your own pace, while enjoying the nature. See how the colors of the crystal-clear water change from blue to turquoise and green. Multiple stops at wild beaches will be made, so you can relax and have a nice swim in the lake.

After that, you can boost your energy with a grilled meal on the wild beach of restaurant Bane. This beach is only accessible via the water. There you can relax with a drink, take a swim or work on that suntan. After eating and kayaking, you'll be brought back to your drop-off point.

We were picked up by a lovely local who took us to his beach cafe where we were to start our tour. He was explained everything and then introduced us to Peter our guide, a young man who for the whole kayaking was on his.phone and we just followed him, he didn't do much in the way of telling us what we were passing, history etc. So we just enjoyed it with the others on the tour. we headed back to the beach bar, where the owner let us use his paddle.boards and enjoy drinks.before our return.

I have never been kayaking before and there was no instruction from the guides about technique and I had to figure it out myself whilst trying to keep up with the group. Some brief tips would have been useful. Other than that it was a good day. The route and beach were beautiful.

Quite a long way to kayak, but did stop off at beach for a hour. Definitely need sea shoes as very rocky. bbq lunch was great. Plenty to eat but you did pay for drinks so remember to bring cash.

It didn't go ahead due to the website not being consitant on hotel pick ups

Het werdt verkocht als kayak door grotten met gids en strand bbq, maar was eigenlijk zelf kayak langs rotsinhammingen langs de kust met instructeur (gids vertelde niks en was ver vooruit de groep)& lunch (in een restaurant) aan het meer i.p.v. strand bbq. Begeleiders waren verder heel aardig en legde alles goed uit over activiteit & dagschema. Voor de rest moet je het zelf leuk maken. De ervaring & uitzichten waren geweldig en we hebben bij 3 stranden gezwommen & kunnen peddelboarden.

Ik heb geen ervaring met kajakken. Er werd geen uitleg gegeven, maar ik vond het niet zo moeilijk en pikte het snel op. Mijn 8 jarige zoon kreeg een zwemvest aangeboden, maar nadat ik duidelijk had gemaakt dat dit niet nodig was (hij heeft een A- en B-zwemdiploma), hoefde hij hem niet om. Het was best een eindje als je het niet gewend bent, maar nog wel te doen. Mooie omgeving. Barbecue was leuk. NB Bij de excursie 'bergwandeling door Galica met strandmiddag', krijg je exact dezelfde barbecue.
