Paddle a sit-on-top double kayak from Pile Bay beneath Dubrovnik’s walls to Betina Cave for a 20 to 30 minute swim and snorkel stop. Guides such as Ivan, Tommy, Barba, and Dragan share local stories, while a safety boat supports the group. Sunset tours include a small bottle of wine.

“Such a love experience! Ivan and Martin were great and attentive guides. It was cold for snorkeling so they had a fire going for us to drink our wine. Only suggestion would be to have some single kayaks for people not going with people they know.”

“Great experience! Kayaking in the bay was stunning in its own right, but seeing dolphins come right up next to us, and a turtle, was a real treat. The guides make the experience though, with a patient and comedic touch. Done this twice now, once in the afternoon and once for sunrise, both great.”
