Itinerary
Island Lokrum, we will visit the biggest of Dubrovnik caves, called the Pidgeon’s cave. Secluded, on the outer side of the island, its entrance is surrounded by steep rocks and Mediterranean greenery protruding from the rocks. You can imagine its genesis, how the huge and strong waves hitting the rocks for thousands of years have shaped this natural wonder.
Fort Lovrjenac often called "Dubrovnik's Gibraltar", is a fortress and theater outside the western wall of the city of Dubrovnik in Croatia, 37 metres (121 ft) above sea level.[1] Famous for its plays and importance in resisting Venetian rule, it overshadows the two entrances to the city, from the sea, and by land. Early in the 11th century, the Venetians attempted to build a fort on the same spot where Fort Lovrijenac currently stands. If they had succeeded, they would have kept Dubrovnik under their power, but the people of the city beat them to it. The "Chronicles of Ragusa" reveal how the fort was built within just three months and from then on constantly reconstructed. When the Venetian ships arrived, full of materials for the construction of the fort, they were told to return to Venice.
The Walls of Dubrovnik are a series of defensive stone walls surrounding the city of Dubrovnik. Ramparts were built in the outlying areas of the city, including the mountain slopes as part of a set of statues from 1272. The existing city walls were constructed mainly during the 13th–17th centuries. The walls run an uninterrupted course of approximately 1,940 metres (6,360 ft) in length, encircling most of the old city, and reach a maximum height of about 25 metres (82 ft)
The Villa Sheherezade is situated in an exclusive location at the heart of Dubrovnik. Originally constructed in 1929 by the affluent Russian Jew, Vilim Zimdin, in honor of his mysterious mistress named Sheherezade, after whom the villa continues to be named.
As early as in the 14th century, following the rise of contagious disease epidemics, the Dubrovnik government decided to build the first quarantines for isolating travellers and examining goods intended for distribution, and in 1590, construction of Lazareti in Ploče began and lasted until 1642.
Witness the glistening sunset that reflects off the Adriatic sea and watch the shine of Dubrovnik city walls bathed in the last rays of the setting sun.

Beautiful views of the wall and island. Boat is well maintained and the young Captain was wonderful and very informative. If you are prone to sea sickness this adventure is not for you, the seas are choppy. Would definitely recommend.
Dear Karen, Thank you so much for your kind review and recommendation! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful views, the boat, and your time with our skipper. Your feedback means a lot to us. Regarding seasickness, sea conditions can sometimes be a bit choppy, especially in the open sea. However, we have welcomed many guests who are prone to seasickness, and we usually recommend taking Draminas (available at local pharmacies) before the tour. It is very effective in preventing and reducing any discomfort during the trip. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back on board in the future! Kind regards, Dubrovnik Coastal Beauty Team

We had a wonderful time on this sunset boat trip with Jakov/Jacob.

All in all a fantastic experience and a great way to see this beautiful city/old town :)

Our skipper Mario was lovely. Prompt and professional. Hubby and I had the pleasure of a private sunset experience. Drinks were offered and we connected to the Bluetooth speaker and played some time tracks for 1.5hrs. Mari warned me that the waters were abit choppy due to the windy. I got sea sick towards the end of the cruise. The waters were wilder than I expected but a great experience none the less.
