Dubrovnik · CAVTAT DAY TRIPS FROM DUBROVNIK
Cavtat is forty minutes down the coast by boat and considerably calmer than the city it sits below. These 15 cover the ferry days, the kayak trips and the wine afternoons, priced and timed.
Spend four to five hours seeing Dubrovnik from the sea, exploring Lokrum independently, and swimming at St. Jacob’s Beach and Betina Cave. You’ll have an English audio guide, snorkeling gear, and a small-group boat ride, but bring cash for Lokrum’s separate entry fee.
“Nice cruise, lovely island for long time also recommended. Nice places to swim.”
Join guides such as Ivan, Rino, or Mario for a 4 to 5-hour small-group speedboat trip from Dubrovnik or Cavtat. Swim through Koločep’s Blue Cave, explore the Three Green Caves, and spend 90 minutes at sandy Šunj Beach with drinks and snorkeling gear included.
“Good service with constant focus if your needed something to drink after every stop/swim.”
Join certified guide Mario for a small-group sea kayak tour from Cavtat. Paddle past the harbor and old town, visit Supetar Island, stop for a swim, and learn local stories. Kayaks, dry bags, and phone storage are provided.
“Mario kept us updated and changed timing of the kayaking which best suited the weather, which we viewed as great as it kept us all safe! He took us on a great adventure. We went to supetar island then along the coast of Cavtat. Mario gave us a lot of information about the town and it was a great few hours.”
Travel from Dubrovnik with an English-speaking driver-guide to a family winery in Konavle Valley. Taste four or sometimes five wines, homemade liqueurs, cheeses, cured meats, bread, and olives, then spend about an hour in Cavtat. Hosts such as Ivo, Antony, and Matea share the family’s centuries-old wine tradition.
“Our driver and guide was really nice and helpful. The little family owned wineyard was very cozy and the couple running this place were adorable and passionated about their products. The pick up information was a bit late and I had to call the agency to ask when we would receive it. But after that, they kept us updated and everything ran smoothly. Highly recommend!”
Take a private speedboat from Dubrovnik or Cavtat with a skipper such as Antonio, Lukša, or Nikša. Build your day around Dubrovnik’s walls, Elafiti islands, caves, sandy beaches, snorkeling, and lunch stops. The boat carries drinks and snorkeling gear, while fuel and lunch cost extra.
“We loved our boat trip with Antonio! He was super helpful in creating our itinerary based on our interests and what we’d already seen. We had already done the Blue Caves so we went to Pasjaca Beach and a few other amazing places. He was super flexible and offered to drop us off in Dubrovnik even though our pick up was in Cavtat, which we Ubered to in the morning. Couldn’t have asked for a better day.”
Meet Gabriel Watersports in Cavtat for a short safety briefing, then rise about 100 meters above the bay on a 10-minute parasailing flight. The crew provides the harness and life vest, plays music on board, and takes photos during the ride. Daniel is praised for his friendly photo service.
“Great time with family! Daniel's on top. He gave us great pictures of the parachute ride. In addition the landscapes are beautiful. I recommend 100%Auto-translated”
Antonio’s private Mercan 34 speedboat takes your group from Dubrovnik or Cavtat to the Blue Cave, Koločep’s Three Green Caves, Šunj Beach, and Lopud. Snorkeling gear, drinks, and a skipper are included. Pasjača Beach may replace the islands if you prefer.
“Expérience exceptionnelle, je recommande à 1000% Antonio a été adorable et serviable, très disponible et ce depuis le moment de la réservation pour nous apporter tous les détails nécessaires. Il est arrivé à l’heure sans aucun délais d’attente Le bateau était sublime et surtout très silencieux Nous avons pu nous baigner et profiter jusqu’au coucher du soleil en écoutant nos propres playlist. Un grand merci pour ce merveilleux moment”
Meet Mario, Alexandra, or another certified local guide at Beach Blato for a relaxed three-hour paddle around Cavtat. You’ll receive instruction, see the coast from the water, hear local stories, stop for a swim, and use waterproof storage for your phone.
“This was a great way to see CAVTAT bay and a small island - lorry little fish if you snorkel off island - bring seashoes - hat and sun cream! Thank you to the guide x”
Visit Villa Banac in Cavtat with an English or Croatian guide, see its art collection and Marija Račić Banac’s relief, then enjoy Kutjevo sparkling wine with panoramic views. The one-hour visit includes museum admission and ends back at Trumbićev put 25.
“Incredible experience, lovely guide and the villa was spectacular especially learning about its history. Beautiful private art collection and a relaxing atmosphere after to have a bottle of wine on the balcony watching the boats”
Meet the English-speaking Gabriel Watersports Cavtat crew for a short safety briefing, then rise above Cavtat in a tandem parasail. No skills are needed. Flights last about 10 minutes, with a maximum combined weight of 200 kg. Photos are available to buy afterward.
“We loved flying in the air above Cavtat! This was a truly fun and enjoyable adventure and the boat, crew and equipment were very safe. We also got to purchase beautiful pictures of our experience afterward. We booked an hour, had four people, and got to go up as a pair each one time for 10 min. My only wish is that our flights could have been longer. Also, compared to other experiences in Croatia, this is quite pricey. But we felt it was worth it for us.”
Use the Questo app to guide yourself through Cavtat in about 60 to 90 minutes. Solve clues at nine stops, including the Racic Mausoleum, St. Nicholas Church, Franciscan Monastery, and Bukovac House. You set the pace, but bring a charged phone and download the app before you arrive.
“Interesting but lack of explanation on every steps (actually, there is none). Either it aims to be a game, then question might be a little bit more elaborated, or it aims to be a trip advisor, then explanation on each steps would be more than welcome.”
Meet at Wine Bar Banac in Cavtat for four Croatian wines, two whites and two reds, paired with two sushi pieces per glass. Professional English-speaking waiters guide the tasting and explain Kutjevo, Bric, and Croatian wine culture in Villa Banac’s peaceful setting.
“Great venue very informative regarding the superb wines served and accompanied with the most delicious food could not fault it at all”

“We'd previously visited Dubrovnik and wanted something a little different. We decided to book this tour for a traditional Croatian meal. The surroundings were amazing and the food was everything we expected, and more. We left with full bellies and great memories of beautiful Cavtat and Konavle.”
Travel from Dubrovnik with an English-speaking driver to coastal Cavtat, medieval Sokol Fortress, the fairy-tale Ljuta River, and Miljas Winery. You get a private vehicle, flexible pacing, local wine and food tasting, and free pickup at your address, with tasting and fortress fees extra.
“The first stop you get "dropped off" for 45 to 60 minutes. Its early, so galleries are not open. Hope you wanted food because nothing else to do. Next stop cool fort! That is something to grab a taxi and see, its a very good fort. 'Wine Tasting'...no. Seemed a weird set up in the guy's garage. No orchard tour, just literally a garage. The wines seemed old, but the one he opened there was ok. Great cheese which his neighbor made (I'd have bought that), we enjoyed this standing around the garage. This tour is very expensive and really left me with a creepy vibe. You can get a…”
