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).

Super nice guide, good kayak route to have fun paddling without overexerting yourself in the summer heat. The cave was fascinating with turquoise water and enough fish to make the snorkeling experience worthwhile. On the way back, there were a few interesting facts about a nearby island and the history of Dubrovnik.
Such a great kayaking experience! I was with the captain, and he was so kind, funny, and made everyone feel comfortable and enjoy the trip. The whole experience was absolutely worth it, and I would definitely recommend it. A huge thank you to Kiki and Mislave for making it such a fun and memorable adventure!
Great time, very professional and complete. Shout out to Mario, Mickey and Michael for the great service
Very friendly guides. Beautiful canoe trip.
it was great ! We did kayak and we had a freetime with mask for swimming and we could cliff jumping !
This was a really fun day kayaking to a beautiful swim cove! Would highly recommend. Guides were fantastic.
Wear pool shoes or flip-flops as the 'beach' entry is pebbles and the cave is too Wear swimming stuff under clothes You put small belongings in a waterproof tub to take with you. Larger items can go in a semi waterproof bag. Other items are left onshore in a secure box. Quite far to kayak
Great experience! So much fun and got to snorkel and explore a cave which was great! Miki was a great guide!
Awesome tour! Well worth the money and our tour guide, Micky was fantastic. This tour has been my favorite part of our Dubrovnik visit so far.
