Paddle from Pile Bay beside Dubrovnik’s city walls, hear local stories, and head toward Lokrum and Betina Cave for a swim and snorkel break. The three-hour trip covers about 7.5 km; a two-hour, 5 km option runs June through August. Double kayaks, snorkel gear, water, and a local English-speaking guide are included.

“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…”
