SUP – Stand up paddling – a fun challenge invitation on sunset.
Windsurfing lessons – all equipment is provided and you´ll be learning with experienced instructors (Marin is one of them). No previous windsurfing experience needed. If you prefer you can also choose to do SUP (stand up paddling), swim or just relax on the beach.
Biking – in the low season – drive to Central Istria (first with a car) then bike, crossing abandoned tunnels and bridges from an old railway trail, visiting gorgeous Grožnjan town, eating local truffles in Motovun – the medieval town worth to visit by itself.
Hiking and cave exploring – hike and grapple to a secret and real yogic cave where one saint was living 1000 years ago. The story is the inspiring basis of the retreat. The hike is short but intense (medium inclination) with plenty of time to relax on the very remote beach, swim, and meditate in the cave.
