What you'll see and do
Lokrum Island
Island Lokrum, we will visit the biggest of Dubrovnik caves, called the Pidgeon’s cave. Secluded, on the outer side of the island, its entrance is surrounded by steep rocks and Mediterranean greenery protruding from the rocks. You can imagine its genesis, how the huge and strong waves hitting the rocks for thousands of years have shaped this natural wonder.

Lovrjenac Fortress
Fort Lovrjenac often called "Dubrovnik's Gibraltar", is a fortress and theater outside the western wall of the city of Dubrovnik in Croatia, 37 metres (121 ft) above sea level.[1] Famous for its plays and importance in resisting Venetian rule, it overshadows the two entrances to the city, from the sea, and by land. Early in the 11th century, the Venetians attempted to build a fort on the same spot where Fort Lovrijenac currently stands. If they had succeeded, they would have kept Dubrovnik under their power, but the people of the city beat them to it. The "Chronicles of Ragusa" reveal how the fort was built within just three months and from then on constantly reconstructed. When the Venetian ships arrived, full of materials for the construction of the fort, they were told to return to Venice.

Dubrovnik City Walls
The Walls of Dubrovnik are a series of defensive stone walls surrounding the city of Dubrovnik. Ramparts were built in the outlying areas of the city, including the mountain slopes as part of a set of statues from 1272. The existing city walls were constructed mainly during the 13th–17th centuries. The walls run an uninterrupted course of approximately 1,940 metres (6,360 ft) in length, encircling most of the old city, and reach a maximum height of about 25 metres (82 ft)

The Villa Sheherezade is situated in an exclusive location at the heart of Dubrovnik. Originally constructed in 1929 by the affluent Russian Jew, Vilim Zimdin, in honor of his mysterious mistress named Sheherezade, after whom the villa continues to be named.

As early as in the 14th century, following the rise of contagious disease epidemics, the Dubrovnik government decided to build the first quarantines for isolating travellers and examining goods intended for distribution, and in 1590, construction of Lazareti in Ploče began and lasted until 1642.

Fantastic Sunset Tour !
Thank you Hrvoje, for a brilliant sunset tour. Communication from Maro beforehand was excellent & our skipper made it very easy to find him on the Old Town Dock. The tour was very good & Hrvoje had good knowledge and made it a very relaxing 1.5 hrs. Sunset was spectacular & we were positioned perfectly to enjoy it from the front of the boat. A great never to be forgotten experience 🙏

Great boat ride and views
Beautiful views of the wall and island. Boat is well maintained and the young Captain was wonderful and very informative. If you are prone to sea sickness this adventure is not for you, the seas are choppy. Would definitely recommend.
Response from the operator: Dear Karen, Thank you so much for your kind review and recommendation! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful views, the boat, and your time with our skipper. Your feedback means a lot to us. Regarding seasickness, sea conditions can sometimes be a bit choppy, especially in the open sea. However, we have welcomed many guests who are prone to seasickness, and we usually recommend taking Draminas (available at local pharmacies) before the tour. It is very effective in preventing and reducing any discomfort during the trip. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back on board in the future! Kind regards, Dubrovnik Coastal Beauty Team

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dubrovnik Sunset Tour By Boat With Local: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.
How much does Dubrovnik Sunset Tour By Boat With Local cost?
+
Prices start at $252 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 Sunset Tour By Boat With Local take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Sunset Tour By Boat With Local worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 155 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dubrovnik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dubrovnik Sunset Tour By Boat With Local?
+
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 Sunset Tour By Boat With Local suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dubrovnik Sunset Tour By Boat With Local?
+
Around 54 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dubrovnik Sunset Tour By Boat With Local 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), Dubrovnik: Sunset Kayaking & Snorkeling with water &wine. 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.
What is included in Dubrovnik Sunset Tour By Boat With Local?
+
Included: Bottled water; Alcoholic beverages; All Fees and Taxes; Skipper; and Soft drinks. Not included: Lunch; and Fuel surcharge (cash, paid on the boat) 30€. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Dubrovnik Sunset Tour By Boat With Local?
+
The boat is located at Dubrovnik Old Town Port. There will be 2 piers and the meeting point is at the smaller one, just a cross Locanda restaurant. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Dubrovnik Sunset Tour By Boat With Local offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Croatian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Dubrovnik Sunset Tour By Boat With Local?
+
