Dubrovnik · DUBROVNIK PANORAMIC SIGHTSEEING TOURS
The view everyone comes for is from above or from offshore, and both are cheap. These 15 compare the drive to the Srđ road, the short harbour cruises and the combined circuits on price, length and time at the viewpoint.
Meet at Ilijina glavica for a ride up Mount Srdj, where guides such as Luca, Big G, Mia, and Z explain the city and equipment. After a practice run, you take two zipline routes twice each, with views of Dubrovnik, the sea, and the islands.
“This activity was so much fun! The guides were so helpful and gave a history of Dubrovnik and Old town in between zipline courses!”
Set out from Dubrovnik’s Old Town Harbor on a modern speedboat with a local skipper and host. Swim through Koločep’s caves, snorkel in clear Adriatic water, relax at Šunj Beach, and enjoy included alcoholic and soft drinks. Guides such as Vinnie, Mario, Alex, and Karolina are often praised for their friendly help.
“A fantastic boat tour and swimming activities around the cave's and a visit to Sunj beach. We booked the 4 hour morning tour which was amazing and the perfect amount of time to enjoy the activities. It didn't feel rushed and there was plenty of time at each stop to enjoy the surroundings. The tour guide's were great, really hospitable and made sure everybody had plenty of drinks during the whole trip. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys the water and want's to see the sights without needing an entire day to do so.”
Join the replica 16th-century Karaka in Dubrovnik’s Old Town port for a 1.5-hour sunset cruise. An English-speaking host shares stories of the ship and coast as you view the walls, fortresses, and Lokrum Island. Your welcome sparkling wine and one additional drink are included.
“It was a fun activity in Dubrovnik, even if the sea was a bit wavy. The boat looked like model ships in the Maritime museum.”

“This tour was very well organized, timely and efficient. Our guide Gordona did a great job explaining the history of Dubrovnik and Croatia. After completing the tour, our guide offered a later pickup (instead of returning to the ship midday) so that we get to explore Dubrovnik on our own. Our driver was excellent and safe. Overall, a great experience and highly recommend.”

“Nemo was a great host! Loved the pirate ship. Comfy cushions to sit on. Good history knowledge from host. Lokrum island tour and floating towards the entrance of blue cave was wonderful. Would be a great added bonus and improve this trip if you could include a dip/swim in blue cave! Thanks Nemo!”

“Scenic & quick boat tour to see the City from the water & to obtain a different prospective. Be warned that there is a nude beach on the back side of Lokrum Island & people are practicing.
