Orebić HopIn HopOut – The easiest way to visit the Islands
Island HopIn HopOut in the Pelješac Archipelago: The perfect day trip from Orebić
For those vacationing in Orebić, island paradise is practically on your doorstep. The beautiful destinations of the Pelješac Channel and the island of Korčula are just a short boat ride away.
The easiest way to explore this region is by Hop-On Hop-Off taxi boat: buy a day ticket, get on and off flexibly at stations, and decide for yourself how long you want to stay at each location.
Highlights of the Orebić HopIn HopOut route: 3 regular stops and 1 optional highlight
Taxi boats depart directly from the port in Orebić and regularly sail towards the islets and the coast of Korčula.
1. Badija – Tame fallow deer and a historic monastery
The first stop is usually the green islet of Badija. It is known for its impressive 15th-century Franciscan monastery and a special feature that especially delights families: tame fallow deer live on Badija, which often come right to the beach. The path in the shade of a pine forest leads around the entire island, and the walk takes about 45 minutes.
2. Vrnik – Art, history and peaceful pebble coves
Vrnik is the only inhabited island in this small group. For centuries, the famous white stone was quarried here, which was also used in the Doge’s Palace in Venice and the Cathedral of St. Mark in Korčula. In addition to historic gorges and stonemasonry, peaceful pebble beaches, crystal clear sea and small local art galleries await you on Vrnik.
3. Lumbarda – Sandy beaches and famous Grk wine
The third stop is Lumbarda on the island of Korčula. This charming place is known for its rare sandy beaches (like Vela Pržina and Bilin Žal) that are perfect for a relaxing day at the beach. In addition, the vineyards around Lumbarda grow the indigenous grape variety Grk, which grows only here and can be tasted in local wineries.
4. Stupe / Moro Beach (Optional 4th stop)
Many boats also visit the small island of Stupe as an optional stop. The turquoise blue lagoon offers a postcard-perfect atmosphere. Stupe is known for its popular swing for taking photos in the sea, relaxed lounge music and refreshing cocktails at the bar.
