Kayaking with beach BBQ on Lake Ohrid

3.9/5
13 reviews

Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup, 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.

    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.

    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.
