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!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 599 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $48

From Pile Bay, paddle with a guide around Lokrum Island, stopping at Betina Cave for a swim and snorkeling break before returning at sunset. 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!”

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…”

Leave Gruž with a skipper such as Mario or Kristijan for a private, four-hour boat trip to the Blue Cave, then choose more caves, bays, beaches, or an island stop. Snorkeling gear and drinks are included. The boat averages 7 mph, and fuel costs about €50 extra, payable in cash after the tour.

“Fabulous 1/2 day boat trip with Kristijan!! He accommodated our timing due to the weather. He took us earlier before the waves got too rough. He immediately took us to the Blue Cave - and no one was there!! Upon our departure, there were 10 boats (tons of people) trying to get in. We went to Lopud Island for a burger and (BEST EVER fries) lunch at the beach restaurant (as per our request). We visited a couple more relaxing and peaceful islands. Kristijan is such a wonderful person and great guide. He gave us a 5 star service along with lots of extra tips for the rest of our…”
