Highlights

  • Walls of Dubrovnik - 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.

  • Lokrum Island - 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 caves - 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.

  • Betina Cave beach - 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 - kreativna \”etvrt Dubrovnika - 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 \

Definitely a must do - A great trip. Both novices at kayaking but thoroughly enjoyed it. We booked with Adam who explained everything to us with no pressure to book there and then. Nick took us out on the trip. He was kind, friendly, chilled, and informative. 4 hour trip with two stops. Beautiful scenes from the sea, would 100% recommend.

Fantastic excursion - We had a great experience with Nicholas our guide. He brought us to 2 different caves, 1 with a beach, and we were able to swim and snorkel in both. Nick also gave us a lot of history about Dubrovnik. Really enjoyable and would recommend.

Outstanding experience with Carla - We had an amazing adventure kayaking with guide Carla. We went to a very cool cave to snorkel and then to a very nice beach to swim and snorkle. Carla was very informative about the history of Dubrovnik and it was so special to view it from the sea.

Safe and fun kayak experience for the Unexperienced kayaker😊 - Friendly, no pressure, descriptive sales pitch at their booth below Pile Gate. We went on the morning kayak the next day, our guide was Carla. Carla checked out the experience of all in the group - 10 people/ 5 kayaks full. Most had never kayaked before. She surveyed the group upfront to check if we were OK with dropping one of the stops due to our overall inexperience. She told us that she would hold her paddle vertical to signal rest stops and let any kayaks time to catch up. Our first stop was Bettina cave. We were given the option to snorkel and/or eat the fruit& water supplied. Unfortunately, it started to rain as we left the cave and Carla didn’t want us caught on the open sea if lightning occurred. So she surveyed the group: back to the cave or slightly longer paddle to beach ahead. We chose the beach, which was next door to a hotel with a covered beachside cafe. The rain passed in about 25 minutes and the wind picked up. Carla again surveyed the group and asked if we wanted to cross over to Lokrum island or head back to the cove below Pile Gate. We chose to head back. It was a bit of work going back, the wind was such that all the flags were straight out in the wind. Carla had us stop midway to catch our breath. At every stop or rest Carla had stories to tell about the 90’s war, who owned the various villas along the shore, Lokrum island all were fun to hear.

10 out of 10 !!! - I highly recommend this kayaking tour. Great views over the city walls, port, shore and Lokrum. We kayaked, but we also had time to take a swim, snorkel and try cliff jumping in a beautiful, a little bit hidden away beach. Nikica was an entertaining guide who told us a lot of captivating stories about the city and Adam, with whom I booked the tour, was really kind to tell me all about the offer and tours we could do.
