Set out with a small group (maximum 26 privileged guests) on a scenic speedboat ride through the Korčula Archipelago that brings you to the island of Mljet. Stop at the south side of the island to see a group of tall rocks shaped by waves over the centuries to resemble an amphitheatre.
There are several small caves at Ropa Bay, including the Odysseus Cave. A large rock here is completely submerged at high tide. Legend holds that when Odysseus was shipwrecked here, he swam to the cave and was imprisoned by the nymph called Calypso. You'll have time to snorkel inside the cave if you wish, but keep a wary eye out for Calypso.
Ride the boat over to Vrnik -- an island famous for its rock quarry. It has a museum, art gallery and tavern, as well as a number of small pebble beaches. Stupe Island is popular for the Moro Beach Bar. The beach features swings out over the water. Relax and enjoy free time for a swim at the beach.
Please note: Minimum age is 12 years. Guests who are pregnant or have a back or neck condition are not allowed to participate. Wear your swimsuit under your clothing. Bring a towel, reef-safe/biodegradable sunscreen, light clothing to act as a full cover-up for further protection from the sun, and a hat. Swim at your own risk. Snorkel gear is provided. Bring local currency if you wish to purchase refreshments at the beach bar.
