Highlights
  • Obala Stjepana Radića 40 - Starting from Dubrovnik’s Gruž Harbor in the morning, we’ll hop on the ferry for Lopud island. Scenic ride takes about one hour.

  • Lopud Island - Upon arrival to Lopud and after a safety talk and kayaking instructions, we set off across the channel for the island of Šipan and the Green Cave

  • Sipan - Upon arriving to the hidden Green Cave, we’ll tie up our kayaks and get ready for a wonderful morning of swimming and cliff jumping. But first, we’ll grab snorkels and masks and swim down through the cave’s opening. Very few know about this cave … even the locals. Inside, there is plenty of room for swimming and even standing. This large, and safe, cave opens up to reveal an ethereal green light caused by the sun’s reflection off the sandy bottom. After, the group will swim in the deep cove outside the grotto’s entrance and try some cliff jumping.

  • Sipan - We continue on to the delightful fishing village of Šuđurađ, on Šipan, for a lunch of local delicacies. We’ll have some time off after lunch for sightseeing.

  • Lopud Island - Following lunch, we paddle back toward Lopud. Before calling it a day, we stop at the island of Ruda - our third island of the day – to explore and kayak into another cave. Guests will be back on Lopud in time for a walk and for the evening ferry back to Dubrovnik.

  • Port Gruz - We’ll finish the tour by ferrying back to Dubrovnik in late afternoon.

Wonderful tour, even better tour guide! - I can hardly recommend this trip enough. Our guide Miro met the three of us at the ferry terminal to make all the arrangements for the day and give some context. From there we parted ways to enjoy the ferry ride to the beautifully chaotic port town of Lopud, where we met up with Miro once again. It quickly became obvious that we would get to know Miro better, as he immediately invited us to reserve a lunch with him later in the day. And it turned out to be a joy to do so. We headed out in our kayaks, well prepared and briefed of safety, but treated with respect and freedom to move at he pace we were comfortable with. We shared stories and laughed and before we realized it we arrived at the green cave. We went for a swim while our guide secured the kayaks, and prepped us to dive into the cave. In theory a little uncomfortable for some of us, but Miro never pushed us if we didn't wish to, and we all ended up joining for the dive in the end anyways. The cave and cliff jumps were marvelous, and we ended up lounging in the sun for a while after, then paddled our way to a delicious lunch, tons more chatting, and eventually made our way back to Lopud via another cave. We ended the day with some local drinks with Miro back in Lopud, and bid each other a fond farewell. Thanks Miro! You've been a great guide and it was a pleasure to get to know you.

Lovely was to see Croatia - What a fantastic day out in the kayaks with Miro. Diving into the cave was really exciting ( but do not do if you cannot hold your breath for a long time). Miro was such fun to be with and he even sent us some great underwater photos.

Full Day Kayaking, Cabe Exploring, Snorkeling and Cliff Jumping - One of the best trips we did in Croatia. We were met by Ivica at the meet point who was easy to spot and lovely to begin with. Then when on the island we had the pleasure of been taken around with Marco who was AMAZING. Great laughs and gave confidence throughout the day. He was great to chat with! We had an incredible time, cannot thank them enough.

Fun adventure with Marko - This was a fun and adventurous way to spend a day from Dubrovnik! Marko is a great guide, helpful and knowledgeable- he even took photos of the group while we were exploring sea caves, jumping off cliffs, and paddling around the sea. The logistics were easy and we had some time to explore Lopud island before the ferry back.

Brilliant activity in Dubrovnik - Had an amazing day with Ivo. Couldn’t do original plan due to weather so it was very efficiently changed to add in a bike trip which was perfect. Sipan island is gorgeous. Quiet and peaceful. The beach was beautiful. The lunch was delicious. Ivo was entertaining and knowledgeable and made us all feel very comfortable. Thanks for a brilliant day.

Cave experience - The whole trip excelled our expectations! The tour guides were amazing, so knowledgable and very funny. We arrived at the cave and were underwhelmed until he explained HOW to get into it which was just such a cool experience. Would 100% recommend!

Perfect day on the islands! - What a great experience!! As a solo traveller I was looking for something I could do out on the water, with a group but not in a crowd. Instructions about the meeting were clear and the travel to Lopud island was fun with a nice scenery. The tour was perfect because we were a nicely balanced group of 7 with an experienced guide Ivika that made us all feel safe and entertained at the same time. The visit to the cave and cliff jumping was grand although they did say that sometimes the weather doesn't allow it and since they prioritise safety that is understandable. Gear was professional and the lunch spot really special and traditional, just remember to bring cash. Would definitely recommend this experience to everyone who would like to get another, beautiful perspective of the islands!

Fantastic kayaking and island trip combined - Had a wonderful day kayaking and visiting islands. Went with our 15 year old daughter and all really enjoyed the experience. Ivo was superb as a host and a tour guide and the ratio of kayaking to stops was perfect for a full days activity. Really small group and also the places we visited were quiet - much more personal experience than the other kayaking and also island tours we observed whilst in Dubrovnik. A great way to combine an island and cave visit with kayaking in one trip.
