Travelers will see the impressive seaside face of Dubrovnik’s City Walls, including fortresses, towers, and cliffs rising directly from the sea. This unique view from the boat shows parts of the walls that are not visible from land, offering a new perspective and amazing photo opportunities.
During the cruise, travelers will pass by Lokrum Island, a lush green oasis just off Dubrovnik’s coast. From the boat, they’ll enjoy views of the rocky shoreline, pine forests, and historical buildings like the old monastery. Your skipper may share legends about the island, including tales of curses, royals, and shipwrecks.
dmire Fort Lovrijenac from the sea — perched high on a cliff above the waves, this iconic fortress offers dramatic views and a glimpse into Dubrovnik’s defenses. Game of Thrones fans will recognize it as the Red Keep.

Pleasant boat journey from the old town harbour, towards the fort and then around Lokrum island and back. Only 45mins and not really a tour, the skipper didn’t talk to us but the ride was pleasant and I think for €15 it was excellent. PS small boat feels the waves so not for people who suffer with seasickness!
Was a nice ride around in the boat. Very interesting and lots of different things to see, worth the money
Good value, boat driver didn’t narrate, but we talked to others on the boat. Boat smaller than expected, water very choppy.
We were 15 minutes before our departure time at the meeting point. They told us to come back in 10 minutes, which we did. The captain on the boat didn’t count the people and left without us. Worst organization ever.
The driver of the boat was on his phone the whole time and narrowly avoided hitting another boat. We and another family had to shout to him so he noticed.
The boat tour was ok, very confusing which tour was ours near the meeting point. No interaction whatsoever from the skipper, a bit of a commentary would have been nice or even just an acknowledgement as we got on board would help.
Short boat ride round Loki island and city walls. Very enjoyable. Good communication and helpful staff at the meeting point.
The views are lovely but it was an old rusty boat and skipper just sat there and smoked cigarettes whilst going around. Not even a hello! The views are lovely but I would recommend to try other company. Don’t expect any comentary etc.
This was a cool ride. They showed the walls around the town and at an island. They showed us a naked old man, took turns smoking on the front of the boat, and were both very quiet. Even though it WAS a tour they didn’t say they were gonna speak 🤷♀️. I found it fun and cool to check out the scenery!
It was a boat ride that we could have booked at the pier for 15 Euros each rather than the 17 we paid. There was no English speaking guide, just a driver. His friend came on board and stood smoking cigarettes in front of our party, blocking our view and covering us with cigarette smoke. The boat is old and stunk of engine exhaust. There was no safety instruction, or visible life vests. There were full containers of gasoline in view under the open bow. Overall very unprofessional operation, lacking in basic safety.
