Paddle away from Rovinj’s old town on a 3‑hour sunset kayak tour to Sveta Katarina Island. Expect close-up views of St. Euphemia, a swim stop, and the chance to spot dolphins as the sun slips behind the Adriatic.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The paddle pulls you away from pebble-scented shore as late light slants across the Adriatic, turning Rovinj’s ochre roofs into a row of low flames. Guides run a quick safety briefing at Beach Bar ComeBack, hand out two-person sit‑on‑top kayaks and life vests, and you push off roughly three hours before sunset. The sea here is glass and current, an active participant that will test your rhythm and reward steady strokes with close-up views of the bell tower of St. Euphemia and weathered Venetian facades.
