About this experience
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.

5 easy stars!!
We had a fabulous time kayaking around the old town and to a beautiful cave where we were able to snorkel and swim completely away from any crowds. Our guide, Marijan, was wonderful and so informative. 5 easy stars!!!

amazing experience
I absolutely loved this experience. My experience was exactly as stated and I thoroughly enjoyed it! We went with Sebastian who was engaging and knowledgeable. The kayaking equipment was in great condition. The kayaking it self was really fun and weather conditions were great. There is not really much to look at snorkeling-wise but still saw some fish. We even went cliff jumping at the lagoon and it was really fun. I wouldn’t have tried this in Croatia, despite it being a popular activity, had it not been for this trip. I am also happily surprised that we were able to pack in all this into the 2-2.5 hrs we had. This is a perfect tour to fit into a busy schedule. Highly recommend as long as you are relatively fit

Great day. Guide was awesome.
Great guide. Enjoyed the day and the stunning views. Learned a little history, swam in a cave and took time to cliff jump too.

Relaxing and friendly afternoon kayak
Had heard the groups get quite large but wasn’t the case at all about 8 kayaks, Nemo was very friendly, took us to a cave which did have a couple other boats and groups join but didn’t feel overly busy plenty of space to swim and spread out and then kayak out towards lokrum and back. Ran perfectly on schedule for two hours, was super cool seeing the other sides of the city walls and was a pleasant way to spend an afternoon. Would reccomend. They provided water as well which was a nice touch

Great way to spend a morning
Great experience and well worth the money. Sebastian was excellent and showed us where we could safely jump off the rocks and was knowledgeable of Croatian history. Would definitely recommend.

Why this scores 93
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dubrovnik Sea Kayaking Tour of Lokrum Island and Betina Cave: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.
How much does Dubrovnik Sea Kayaking Tour of Lokrum Island and Betina Cave cost?
+
Prices start at $36 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubrovnik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dubrovnik Sea Kayaking Tour of Lokrum Island and Betina Cave take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubrovnik is not rushed.
Is Dubrovnik Sea Kayaking Tour of Lokrum Island and Betina Cave worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 93 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 1,510 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Dubrovnik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dubrovnik Sea Kayaking Tour of Lokrum Island and Betina Cave?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dubrovnik Sea Kayaking Tour of Lokrum Island and Betina Cave suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dubrovnik Sea Kayaking Tour of Lokrum Island and Betina Cave?
+
Around 529 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubrovnik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubrovnik and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dubrovnik Sea Kayaking Tour of Lokrum Island and Betina Cave start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubrovnik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dubrovnik?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubrovnik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubrovnik: Game of Thrones Walking Tour, Dubrovnik: 7 Caves & Blue Cave Speedboat Tour (4h), Panorama Zipline Experience in Dubrovnik. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dubrovnik?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dubrovnik?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
