For an outing at your own pace, walk along the Igalo waterfront, pausing by the sea and heading back whenever you choose. A match on the clay courts at the Sports Center or a game of bowling at the Institute offers another way to spend time with a partner or friends. For time on the water, the guided kayak program follows the Igalo coast toward Njivice. You arrange to meet the organizer in the Zalo area of Herceg Novi.

The walking, tennis, bowling and kayaking options here are separate outings you can fit into your stay without following a full-day itinerary. Each description explains where you go and how to take part: you organize the walk yourself, while recreational sports and kayaking need to be arranged with the provider.
The overview compares the experience, time and participation requirements, and the two maps separate places in Igalo from the kayaking area in Herceg Novi. For a visit to Villa Galeb and more about the coast and the mouth of the Sutorina, continue to attractions in Igalo. After the activity descriptions, you will find itineraries for your stay and ideas for other outings.

Places in Igalo and the kayaking area
The first map marks the waterfront, Sports Center and Phase II of the Institute in Igalo. The second shows the kayaking area at Zalo in Herceg Novi. You choose your own walking stretch on the waterfront. For the sports complexes and kayaking, confirm the exact entrance or meeting point when making arrangements.
The waterfront, Sports Center and Institute in Igalo
Walk along Obala Nikole Kovacevica by the sea, past swimming spots and outdoor terraces, with views across the bay. A pause on the waterfront or a meal can be part of the same walk, before you continue along the coast when you choose.
Choose a stretch based on where you join the waterfront, then return the same way. For a longer walk, the connection to Pet Danica Promenade at the eastern end leads toward Topla and Herceg Novi. Continuing also adds to the walk back to Igalo, so the time depends on your chosen stretch and stops. For a meal during your outing, the guide to where to eat in Igalo provides dish recommendations and addresses. Igalo waterfront on Google Maps.

Tennis and bowling
Tennis is played on the outdoor courts at Igalo Sports Center, while the bowling alley belongs to the Institute. These are two different complexes with separate reservations.
Recreational tennis at Igalo Sports Center
Igalo Sports Center welcomes recreational players who want a match during their stay. Its three outdoor clay courts have LED lighting, so you can also request an evening slot.
Arrange a reservation through Igalo Sports Center, at II Dalmatinske brigade. When you book, confirm the price, rental length and equipment options. The published offer does not state that rackets, balls or a coach are included, so clarify this before heading to the court. Igalo Sports Center, tennis on Google Maps.
A game of bowling at the Igalo Institute
Arrange a game of bowling with friends at the sports and recreation center in Phase II of the Igalo Institute. The Institute also lists billiards in the same recreational offer as another game to play during your stay.
In the guided Igalo-Njivice kayak program, you paddle along the coast of Herceg Novi and Igalo, with a guide accompanying the group. From the water, you see the swimming areas along the coast, then stop in Njivice on the opposite shore of the bay to swim and snorkel.
Kayak Herceg Novi publishes a duration of 2.5 to 3 hours and a price of €40 per person for this program. Its guided tours include kayaking equipment, dry bags for small items and a guide, and no previous kayaking experience is required. Arrange a date and confirm whether the program can run during your stay.
The Tourist Organization lists this kayaking offer at Zalo Beach by Skver in Herceg Novi. You travel to that area from Igalo, while the organizer confirms the exact meeting point. Allow for travel to Zalo and back to your accommodation as part of the whole outing. When booking, clarify whether preparation is included in the stated program duration.
