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 and secret coves - Fisherman's /pigeon cave. 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).

We had a lovely time kayaking, even though my boyfriend and I were awful! Miki gave engaging talks that were really insightful and Mario stayed at the back with us as we were quite far behind. Overall a great and fun experience 😊
Absolutely amazing experience, the most beautiful sunset and the guides were very informative. We kayaked past the city walls, to a secret cave to snorkel and then over to Lokrum Island. If the water isn't too choppy, you have the option to kayak around the whole of the island to watch the sunset on the open ocean. We did this and would highly recommend, it was magical. Once again, the guides were extremely accommodating and kind. We could not recommend enough!
Would defintely recommend Old Town Kayaking - our guide was excellent and engaged with everyone no matter their nationality. A great way to see the sun set topped off with generous glasses of wine.
Amazing trip. Beautiful sunset!
I just had the best time paddling with this guys! Micky and Nicky are the best. Even though I’m not used too o paddle it was just a great experience! Definitely something that I would regret if I haven’t done
Kiki and the lead guide were great. Learned a ton about the history of the area. 2 caves and an amazing sunset. Wine at end was an added bonus.
Drazen was great and very knowledgeable!
Kiki and Mario were awesome! It was a really great price and the sunset views for the sunset kayak were spectacular! The local wine post trip was a nice refreshing treat as well. I can’t say enough about Mario and Kiki! I was mainly with Kiki, but both were super. Kiki in particular was so energetic and telling us so many cool things about the area. The 8 km paddle was one of the highlights of my trip.
Mario and Kiki were very good guides, very nice experience!
It was really great thank you :)
