Paddle from Pile Bay along Dubrovnik’s walls with local guides such as Tom, Drajen, Mickey, or Rajan. You’ll kayak toward Lokrum, stop at Betina Cave for snorkeling, hear local stories, and may cliff jump. Choose the 3-hour morning route or shorter 2-hour summer afternoon trip.

“Me and my GF did this on a mild and overcast day in May and in rather choppy sea conditions and we still had a great time ! 3 hours is a good amount for this activity, there are 2 hour versions but i think 3 hours is better. Our instructor was very knowledgeable about the local area and history and would stop the group every now and then to tell us something about an area of interest. The cave is stunning and made more special by the fact you can only really reach it by kayak which makes it quite a unique dubrovnik landmark that not many will experience…”

We went to three amazing view points and the off roading was insanely fun. My friend and I are a bit of adrenaline junkies so our guy went fast. But he told us that he goes slow for a lot of guests depending on your preference. This was super fun and I would highly recommend!”
