Overview

The 3-hour morning kayaking and snorkeling tour in Dubrovnik begins at Pile Bay, where participants paddle along the city walls and explore the coast near Lokrum Island and Pigeon Cave. The tour includes a 40-minute snorkeling stop at Betina Cave beach, located inside a cave and accessible only by kayak or swimming. Here, guests can snorkel among reefs, sunbathe, or try cliff jumping. The route continues past Villa Sheherezade, the Lazareti Quarantine complex, and Banje Beach.
