2.Sunset Kayaking & Snorkeling with water &wine

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

Meet guides under the orange umbrella at Pile Bay, then paddle along Dubrovnik’s walls and around Lokrum Island. Stop at Betina Cave for swimming and snorkeling before returning for sunset, a snack, water, and wine. Guides such as Dom, Mike, Roman, and Marin lead groups in English, though the pace feels more like a workout than a gentle sightseeing cruise.

“We were not off to a great start on this tour when we fell in very close to the beginning, but we were able to turn it around! Be prepared that this is not an easy tour - our guide Mike told us at the end that we had burned about 600 calories in the 3 hours. The cave was cool, but very rocky and very slippery. There were opportunities to snorkel or cliff jump. We saw a beautiful sunset and enjoyed a glass of wine once we got back! I was shocked that my arms weren’t sore the following day!”
