There are also a handful of different routes you can take if you choose to hire a bike.
Paddleboarding
This ancient form of surfing has evolved into a fantastic no wind activity. It is a great way to explore the coastline whilst keeping in shape and developing core stability and strength. Variations include stand up paddle boarding yoga and stand-up surfing.
If you want a good workout on your holiday while exploring the beautiful Korčula archipelago, then paddleboarding off the island is the ideal activity. Basic tours last for around 2 to 3 hours, and all equipment is provided. As with other water-based activities, you will need a basic level of swimming and the motivation to learn a new skill.
This is a great way to take part in an island activity and be relaxed enough to take in the area’s beauty.
Sea Kayaking
An adventure as you paddle through the crystal clear waters in the Korcula archipelago. Some parts of the island are best accessed using a kayak, so you may discover some secluded beaches that not many other people know about.
Exploring the coastline by kayak is something else: you’ll be able to take in the breathtaking views of the island by the sea while experiencing island life on the water at your own pace. Paddling along with the sun beating down and the slight breeze in the air, this is one activity you don’t want to miss.
Snorkeling

You can expect to see a vast array of marine life, from schools of fish, crabs, seahorses, starfish, and an abundance of plant life. With visibility being quite clear in the Summer months, you can explore the underwater world without putting on full scuba-diving gear and being certified.
