Set out from Watersport Center Yamaha with EDDY Kayak & SUP Adventures for a three-hour coastal trip by kayak or SUP. Guides such as Rodeo, Ivan, Basil, and Konstantin teach beginners, lead you past Budva Old Town and Pigeon Cave, and take photos and videos along the way.

“This was a well organised tour & the guides gave the group sufficient information to be able to have control of their kayak. The sea was initially choppy due to moderate winds but they ensured we all stayed together in a tight group. The vides are nab excellent extra to record the moment. Would definitely recommend this & previous experience however useful is not necessary. Well done team.”

Our guide, Stefan, took videos and pictures of us and shared them via WhatsApp later - brilliant!”
