Top Dubrovnik Snorkeling - page 2

This was my first time on a sailboat, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect — and it turned out to be an incredible experience! The captain was young, and I’ll admit I was a little nervous at first, but he quickly put me at ease. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to answer all my questions about sailing and the local area. The wind picked up a bit more than planned, and the water got a little choppy, so we weren’t able to get close to the city walls. But instead, he took us around some stunning coastal areas that I might not have seen otherwise. The views were breathtaking, and the sunset over the Adriatic was absolutely perfect. Overall, it was a memorable and unique way to experience Dubrovnik — a wonderful mix of adventure, relaxation, and learning about Croatia’s history. Highly recommended!

We ABSOLUTELY LOVED this tour of the islands during our honeymoon! Antuni was our guide and he was incredibly friendly, from offering us drinks on the boat to telling us the history and fun facts about the islands. He was really flexible when we said we felt too cold to swim and gave us more time to explore on the islands. Sometimes you feel anxious when you go on a private tour with just two people that it could be awkward, but he made us feel very comfortable, safe and educated about the islands! The boat was also really comfortable, too. We also appreciated the tour operator, Pavo, being flexible and letting us change the day of our tour when it was rainy and windy. Thank you for a fabulous adventure on the last day of our honeymoon, Antuni! Sharing a few pics from the boat and islands.

This tour did a good job of fulfilling its goal of bringing you down the Croatian coast to swim into two sets of caves, and allowing time to relax on a nice beach where you can get food and beverages. The tour leaves exactly where it describes - use Google maps - and leaves right on time. There is a Marinero Tours rep at a booth by the piers who will check you in and tell you which boat you're on. Our guides onboard were Vinnie and Mario, and they did a great job of explaining what we were going to do, swimming along with us as we went to the caves, handing out beverages, and equipping guests with masks / snorkels / flotation noodles. I will admit up front that I thought this cruise was going to involve more pleasant cruising in the boat than it did. The focus of the boats is to move you at speed down the coast to the caves and beach, and provide a stable platform for moving on/off the boat to do snorkeling. Expect some water spray if you're sitting on the back of the boat. The boat had both inside and outside seating, and was quite roomy. It also had a small bathroom where you could change. In summary: Vinnie and Mario were great guides and did a great job of taking care of the guests. The tour does exactly what it describes, and it was a fun day. If you're not planning to go in the water, I won't recommend this tour - you'll be bored.
