“Very enjoyable tour! Being solo I was reluctant to do it as paired with someone but don’t let that put you off as everyone is there for a good time. Snorkelling on a secluded beach was brilliant. My guide John was faultless, very knowledgeable and added his own experiences which I feel aways adds a personal touch to guided tours. Highly recommend this activity for your trip to Dubrovnik!”

“We really enjoyed the trip, but the distance travelled in the kayak doesn't even come close to the advertised 3 + 3 kilometers. 'Snorkeling' was with goggles but without snorkel "because of hygiene reasons". Visit to the blue cave was cool but kind of crowded, as the cave is not very large but our group was (± 12 kayaks).”

We liked that the boat always had some space with sun and shadow, nevertheless: Bring sunscreen! 😉 Really enjoyed spending the day on the boat with Josip, he is a funny guy! We had ample time at all the stops to go swimming whenever we wanted and for us the highlight was definitely the cave. The other stops were great as well, the ship wreck was way larger than we expected…”
