Dubrovnik: Sea Kayaking & Snorkeling Tour

1.Sea Kayaking & Snorkeling Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,646 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $36Our pick

Launch near Dubrovnik’s Pile bus stop for an approximately two-hour guided paddle beneath the Old Town walls and around Lokrum Island. Stop at Betina Cave to swim or snorkel, then return by kayak. Equipment, water and a waterproof barrel are included. You’ll paddle a two-person kayak, so solo participants may be paired with someone else.

“The whole sight seeing part of the trip was fab! Really enjoyed it! the cave was amazing to see also! The only negative I’d give is that the pace is too quick to keep up with. Especially for beginner kayakers. No one really waited or checked in too make sure you were ok while doing it 😂 But still extremely fun!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 657 reviews · 2 hours · from $41

Set out from Pile Bay with an English-speaking guide for a four-kilometer paddle past Dubrovnik’s walls and around Lokrum, without landing on the island. Then stop at Betina Cave for a swim or snorkel before returning. Double kayaks, safety gear, water and a waterproof barrel are provided. Guides such as Dom, Mike and Bane have led trips, but your guide will depend on the departure.

“We had a great time. The guides were informative and the safety talk was great. The guides safely took us out to sea and explained at each point where we needed to be careful with the boats passing. The late afternoon kayaking can get a little rough waters due to the tide turning but it wasn’t anything we couldn’t handle. It was a great experience for us as a family. We loved the exercise and seeing the large cave and beach. We were given water to take and a safe water proof pot for our valuables. Would really recommend”

Kayak, mask, dry barrel, water, a light snack, and a glass of wine are included. Guides such as Mike, Dom, Marin, and Roman have led outings; expect a proper workout, not a lazy float.

“Kayaking around Lokrum island was a really great experience, during the trip we have had two stops where we could swim/snorkelling/jumping from the rock. Each sunset is beautiful but the one on the water is breathtaking. I also recommend to visit the island separately for the whole day!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 169 reviews · 1 - 2 hours · from $28Best value

Collect a kayak, paddle, life vest, and dry bag from Dubrovnik Watersports at Banje Beach, then set your own route along Dubrovnik’s coast. Paddle toward Betina Cave or Lokrum Island, or stay closer to the city walls. Staff explain route options before you launch. Single and double kayaks are available; the rental lasts one to two hours.

“It was brilliant! The three guys who work there were super friendly and helpful and easy to communicate with as they speak English pretty well, they also explained the route ( it is not a difficult route ), that’s why it’s perfect if you want to go without a guide to explore by yourself. They helped us get on and off the kayak as well both on the meeting point and Betina Cave, very kind. The views are breathtaking and even if it was our first time kayaking we didn’t get too tired as it is an easy route, the only part that’s most tiring is going to the Lokrum…”

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

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…”
