Itinerary
Dive into an easy come, easy go kind of kayaking experience. Enjoy spectacular scenery of the City of Dubrovnik, UNESCO World Heritage Site, craggy coastlines and unique natural beauty, in the sea, on land and in the skies above. Our local kayak guides will introduce you to sea kayaking on the tranquil waters of the Adriatic Sea and tell you all about Dubrovnik’s history and modern days. We love questions, so don’t hesitate to ask whatever comes to your mind.
The Island of Lokrum, located right next to old Dubrovnik city centre, is one of Croatia’s most iconic nature reserves. The scenery is spectacular, with clear turquoise water, special forest vegetation. Many mysteries and stories surround this beautiful gem, including the great legend of the Lokrum curse. Our guide will tell you all about it. We’ll also make several stops to capture picture-perfect moments by the island, including the famous Game of Thrones filming locations.
A true traveller knows that the treasures worth talking home about usually take a bit of work to uncover. This is one of those treasures. Betina Cave beach is completely hidden inside a cave. It can only be reached after swimming or kayaking. But once at the beach, there is plenty to do. There are beautiful reefs in the water, perfect for an afternoon spent snorkeling. Of course, there’s plenty of room on the beach for sunbathing with the perfect view of Lokrum Island and Dubrovnik City Walls. And, if you are one of the brave ones, cliff jumping from Betina Cave is an awesome way to get that adrenaline up and running.
Lazareti in Dubrovnik are a long and narrow building that consists of 10 naves separated by five courtyards, all surrounded by high walls. Completed in 1647, the building would be used as a quarantine station in response to an outbreak of the plague and cholera – a dark past indeed. Located next to the Ploce Gate, Lazareti was built between 1627 until 1647. Its location is significant – situated in front of the main entrance to the Town, from where, at the times, all caravans from the Ottoman territories were arriving in the City as well as right next to the Old Port, the main city harbour. Right outside the city, it was an ideal location for such an institution – merchants, sailors and travelers went through mandatory isolation before being allowed to enter the City (40 days in quarantine).

Nice experience. The guides are really polite and considered. I recommend the tour
An enjoyable afternoon on water. Loved the stop at the swimming cave. Our guide was excellent. catered to all levels
Kiki and Michael were our guides and they were both amazing. They made sure everything went perfect and helped us when we needed it. Kiki even put some music when we were returning and his energy made the experience even better.
Excellent, friendly guide! Beautiful scenery!
Excellent and friendly guide. Would recommend again!
Such a great experience! Book it!!!!!! Guides were awesome and informative. Good for less experienced kayakers.
Got to see Dubrovnik from the water - the guides stopped different spots to sharing history of some of the different buildings we could see from the kayak.
This was so much fun. I was hesitant to go as I had never been kayaking before. There were some other groups providing tours but the guides running this tour were very nice and made us feel very comfortable with doing the tour. They were really sweet and very nice. They are knowledgeable in what they are doing and the whole excursion was extremely enjoyable. You are very safe and the snorkeling is really cool. We also got cookies from our guide Kikki. It was really fun and I would totally recommend it. The price is extremely reasonable and the whole experience is worth it.
Christian (cici) was an amazing guide, and the experience as amazing! Well worth it!
