15 reviews

Your adventure begins with a convenient pick-up, followed by arrival in the charming fishing village of Peštani, where your kayak and equipment await. After a short introduction, set off on an unforgettable kayaking journey along the eastern shores of the breathtaking Lake Ohrid.

Paddle at your own relaxed pace across crystal-clear waters, where the colors shift beautifully from deep blue to turquoise and emerald green. Along the way, enjoy unique views of iconic landmarks such as the ancient Bay of Bones and the picturesque village of Trpejca, often called the “Macedonian Saint-Tropez.”

This tour is all about freedom and nature. Multiple stops are made at secluded wild beaches, giving you plenty of time to swim, unwind, and soak in the peaceful surroundings far from the crowds.

Midway through the experience, recharge with a delicious 3-course grilled meal at Restaurant Bane, located on a remote beach accessible only by water. Relax with a refreshing drink, take another swim, or simply enjoy the sun and stunning lake views.

After a perfect blend of kayaking, swimming, and local flavors, sit back and relax as you’re transferred back to your drop-off point—ending a day filled with adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable scenery.

    Actually spending time on beautiful lake Ohrid and kayaking along the shore line was stunning, it was relaxing and peaceful and the perspective from the water was amazing. Actual palling time was 1h30min Things to improve, no communication about where the transportation would pick us up from, the bbq was awful we were not asked what we wanted just all given the same, no drinks included in the meal. planned 1h wait at the owners bar before the transport was called to collect us.

    Fantastic experience. 1st time doing it as a 60 year old Not much in the way of health & safety which wasn't a problem to us as we were are both very capable & confident swimmers. The couple with us weren't quite as confident being on the water. Life jackets were provided,left in the Kayak to use if you wanted, the guide didn't ask if any of us could swim. The kayaking was good, quite a distance,upper body workout. BBQ excellent. Very relaxing. 1st time kayaking as a 60 year old female.

    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.
