    What you'll see and do

    1. Lopud Island

      We meet at our kayak centre on Lopud island. After a safety talk and kayaking instructions, we set off across the channel for the island of Šipan.

      45 minutes here

    2. Sipan

      Heading south and west, we first paddle to a natural stone arch which is a perfect photo-op. Under this archway, you can see the Adriatic sea open up in all of its glory.

      60 minutes here

    3. Sipan

      Next, we regroup and paddle along the coast to the hidden Green Cave. We’ll then tie up our kayaks and get ready for a wonderful morning of swimming and cliff jumping. But first, we’ll grab snorkels and masks and swim down through the cave’s opening. Very few know about this cave … even the locals. Inside,there is plenty of room for swimming and even standing. This large, and safe, cave opens up to reveal an ethereal green light caused by the sun’s reflection off the sandy bottom. After, the group will swim in the deep cove outside the grotto’s entrance and try some cliff jumping.

      60 minutes here

    4. Sipan

      We continue on to the delightful fishing village of Šuđurađ, on Šipan, for a lunch of local delicacies. We'll have some free time for sightseeing.

      120 minutes here

    5. Lopud Island

      Following lunch, we paddle back toward Lopud. Before calling it a day, we stop at the island of Ruda - our third island of the day – to explore and kayak into another cave. We'll be back on Lopud in the afternoon.

    A fun half-day trip!

    Was a fun time! Our guide was very knowledgable and friendly, which made all the difference. The cave was cool, could have explored that area around the rocks a little longer, or stayed in Sipon a little longer as well. But overall, in a group of 4 people total, it was a lovely experience. And the kayaking wasn't that hard, especially since we were in a double kayak.

    Kayak and cave trip

    Excellent trip . Very chilled out and interesting guide... Went into cave in high tide so a bit more tricky but very doable... Even for our 8 year old..

    A kayak trip to remember

    Miro was excellent from start to finish. His dry wit coupled with quiet competence was reassuring during his comprehensive safety briefing. Once on the water the trip was very flexible and tailored to the abilities of the group. We snorkelled around and into the caves with expert guidance, before heading to Sipan for a delicious seafood lunch. Miro then took us to taste some local olive oils and liqueurs before the pleasant paddle back to Lopid. The trip was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our holiday. Thank you, Miro 🚣‍♀️ 🚣‍♀️🚣‍♀️🚣‍♀️🚣‍♀️🚣‍♂️🚣🚣‍♀️ (J 🇳🇱, G, H, J, J, A, B)

    A great day's kayaking.

    This is a fantastic day out that would appeal to anyone who enjoys an active holiday. The kayaking was challenging but manageable including for our teenage children. The restaurant we stopped at for lunch was excellent and Ivo the tour guide knowledgeable, friendly inclusive. Thoroughly recommended.

    Sea Kayaking and Snorkeling to Green Cave on Sipan island from Lopud: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.

    How much does Sea Kayaking and Snorkeling to Green Cave on Sipan island from Lopud cost?

    +

    Prices start at $85 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 Sea Kayaking and Snorkeling to Green Cave on Sipan island from Lopud take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Sea Kayaking and Snorkeling to Green Cave on Sipan island from Lopud worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 38 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 Sea Kayaking and Snorkeling to Green Cave on Sipan island from Lopud?

    +

    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 Sea Kayaking and Snorkeling to Green Cave on Sipan island from Lopud suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Sea Kayaking and Snorkeling to Green Cave on Sipan island from Lopud?

    +

    Around 13 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sea Kayaking and Snorkeling to Green Cave on Sipan island from Lopud 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), E-Tuk Tuk Tour 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.

    What is included in Sea Kayaking and Snorkeling to Green Cave on Sipan island from Lopud?

    +

    Included: Professional local guide; All activities and visit to the Green cave; Use of snorkeling equipment; multi-experience guided tour; and Small-group tour up to 8 people. Not included: Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Sea Kayaking and Snorkeling to Green Cave on Sipan island from Lopud?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Sea Kayaking and Snorkeling to Green Cave on Sipan island from Lopud?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Sea Kayaking and Snorkeling to Green Cave on Sipan island from Lopud if the weather is bad?

    +
