For about a half-day, you’ll be riding in a comfortable buggy, guided by someone who knows the island well. The group size tends to be manageable, ensuring you get plenty of personal attention and insights about the landscape and local culture.

The Itinerary

The safari kicks off with a drive through olive groves and vineyards, giving you a taste of Korcula’s agricultural heritage. The guides are keen to share stories about the areas you pass through, enriching your understanding of the local traditions. We loved the way the guides balanced storytelling with the fun of driving.

Next, you’ll visit charming villages, where narrow streets and traditional stone houses provide perfect photo opportunities. These spots are often missed by typical tours, making this a more authentic experience. The flexibility of buggies means you can stop for photos whenever you like, making the experience more personal.

Scenic Beaches and Swimming Stops

One of the tour highlights is the stop at Vela Przina, an expansive sandy beach where you’ll have time for a dip. The clear waters here are inviting, and the beach’s natural beauty offers a perfect setting for a relaxing swim. We’ve read reviews like Natalia’s, who says, “Our guide, Sara, was fantastic, providing us with fascinating insights…and making sure we had a great time.” Many travelers appreciate the chance to unwind after the off-road adventure.

Another stop is La Banya, a secluded beach ideal for lounging or splashing around. There’s an emphasis on providing quality beach moments, and the relaxed pace allows plenty of time to enjoy the sun and sea.

Vineyards and Wine Tasting

Driving through gnarled vineyards with Greek wine grapes, you’ll get a sense of Korcula’s winemaking history. The tour culminates at Winery Adria, where you’ll sample a variety of local wines, liqueurs, jams, honey, sweets, and olive oil. As Maria Isabel de C S puts it, “the whole trip was amazing! The beach and wine tasting were awesome, and we loved the buggy ride.” The wine tasting is a highlight for many, offering a chance to taste quality regional products in a relaxed setting.
