Dubrovnik Sea Kayaking Tour of Lokrum Island and Betina Cave
4.9 / 5 · 1,558 traveler reviews
The tour starts from Pile Bay, a small port beneath Fort St. Lawrence (for Game of Thrones fans, Pile Bay is the filming location for Blackwater Bay). Don’t worry if you have never tried kayaking before; everything will be explained during the briefing before heading out. This is the original sea kayaking tour, which other companies have shortened by skipping the full circle around Lokrum Island. You will have numerous stops to rest, which the guides will share stories about the history of the Dubrovnik Republic, Lokrum Island, the War for Independence, the city walls, and more. After some time, stop at Betina Cave for 30 minutes, where you will be able to use the snorkeling gear, jump into the sea, and enjoy the underwater world. Later you will hop back into your kayaks and follow the coast of Dubrovnik, creating long-lasting memories that you will carry in your hearts for decades.
Your experience
Stop 1
While paddling beneath the city wall enjoy the crystal blue Adriatic Sea, listen to the stories of your local guides and take a break for swimming and snorkeling at the Betina cave beach.
Stop 2
Accessible only by sea, this secluded natural cave features a small white-pebble beach tucked beneath a dramatic rocky overhang. It is a premier spot for snorkeling and swimming in crystal-clear turquoise waters, offering a tranquil escape from the bustling city crowds.
Stop 3
Experience a unique perspective of this UNESCO World Heritage site by paddling directly beneath its monumental medieval stone walls. From the water, you'll gain an unrivaled view of the city's ancient fortifications and hidden maritime entrances that most land-based travelers never get to see.
