★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 162 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $36Best value

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…”

7.3-hour ATV Safari Tour with Hotel Transfers

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 18 reviews · 3 hours

This three-hour public ATV tour pairs village lanes and off-road riding with views from Mount Srđ and the old Strinčjera fortress. Your English- or Croatian-speaking guide gives a safety briefing, and hotel pickup and drop-off are included. Guides such as Josip and Mateo have led tours, though your guide may differ.

“Had a wonderful time! The pickup was easy to arrange and they allowed you to change to a different location for drop off which was helpful. The ride itself is a fun challenge for the driver on the off-road sections, and has an amazing view both on road and off road for you to enjoy as a passenger. Some parts of the track are a bit dusty so I recommend sunglasses, but the route was top notch and it was a good amount of time for the money. 10/10 would recommend to anymore travelling to Dubrovnik - don’t forget your driving license!”
