7.Dubrovnik: Guided Sea Kayaking and Snorkeling Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 123 reviews · 2 hours · from $41

Paddle about 4 kilometers from Pile Bay toward Lokrum Island and Betina Cave with an English-speaking guide such as Mike, Dom, or Bane. You’ll see Dubrovnik’s walls from the water, snorkel among fish, and return by kayak. Basic kayaking skills are welcome, but moderate fitness and swimming ability are required.

“The tour is cool, because you can do something different besides boating. I just thought it was bad because I had read good comments about the guide and when it was my turn of my activity I was a little upset about issues like: he was impatient, always saying that we were wrong, and I'm not an athlete, which would be normal. He told us to come back without haste and enjoy the view, but he was too fast and the sea was a little rough and we were "left" behind. I think there was a lack of care and patience. The view it’s beautiful during the tour.”
