Awesome experience! Kayaks are very stable, and the pace of the tour works for all levels of experience. Incredible voews of the Old Town from the water, and the cave stop is amazing! Just enough time to take a break, and enjoy the beauty of the see. Our guide (eddie) was fantastic!!

Very fun group! The two guides were very friendly and outgoing, making everyone have a great time! They knew a lot about the area and were able to show us a spot for cliff jumping and where to go snorkeling. The views were beautiful!! Not too hard kayaking

We did the 8:45 kayak on 17/07. Unfortunately we cannot remember our guides name but he was amazing and the excursion was fantastic. Our guide was informative and gave us time to swim at the caves. We can highly recommend this company

Michele_B, Jul 2026
This was a fantastic, well organized kayaking tour. Avi was our guide and he and his crew did a great job making us feel safe and well prepared. We were a family of 4 and the kayaking was just enough r to make you feel like you got a workout but not over strenuous. Avi taught us a lot about Dubrovnik history in a funny way. We had a great time. Highly recommend!

Great afternoon on the water. Sébastien was a great guide, told us history while we were traveling around.

Great experience in Dubrovnik!

Shuennee_H, Jul 2026
Avi is great! Booked for 6pm but got cancelled because of strong wind. We WhatsApp the owner and change to 9am on second day. Avi is our guide and he's very friendly.

One of, if not the best experiences we had in Dubrovnik. Sebastian and Dion were great. It was an amazing experience

Must do in Dubrovnik!

Find Nemo for a great experience!

Reza_G, Jul 2026
Nemo was a fantastic tour leader—so knowledgeable and friendly! Even though we were running late after missing our bus, Nemo was kind enough to accommodate us and fit us into another session. We had a wonderful time kayaking with the group, and snorkeling in the cave was an amazing highlight. I definitely recommend booking with Nemo!

Marcia_N, Jul 2026
Andy and Eddie were great for as our tour guides. They were knowledgeable and made the trip both interesting and fun. I would definitely recommend to families wanting a great activity in Dubrovnik.

Sun, Sights, and Sebastian

Marissa_G, Jul 2026
Sebastian was an absolutely terrific guide, stopping every so often to explain the sights and share stories. What an awesome way to see Dubrovnik from the outside, learning from an insider. Sights were top notch and we had a blast. Thanks for the trip, Sebastian!!

Great value

Rachel_P, Jul 2026
The tour was beautiful way to cool off and get exercise while enjoying the beautiful scenery. I would recommend doing this and it’s a short taxi ride like 5 min from the cruise ship. The ship offers a shuttle however it was more inexpensive to take a taxi with your own party. Dion was very nice and we enjoyed his humor.

Family fun day out

Deahne_T, Jul 2026
Great way to appreciate the Old Town and surrounds. We travelled as a family with younger children who could paddle and swim. Everyone loved it and was a highlight of our Europe trip. Guides Sebastian and Andrew were awesome fun.

Great experience and...

Jesica_I, Jul 2026
Great experience and would recommend doing to get a break from the heat and crowds. We were fortunate enough to have a small group at the 3pm time we booked. Our guide, Avi was great. We learned a bit of history, has some laughs and felt safe while out on the water. Once you get down to the staging area by the benches there is someone helping to direct people to the correct company. It wasn’t clear on my reservation…you have to expand one of the sections to find “X Adventures”. Bring water shoes or socks for when you take the quick break in the cave/snorkeling area.

Awesome experience, great...

Awesome experience, great guide! The tour of the cave was lovely and the information presented during the tour was cool!

Adam_B, Jul 2026
Beautiful spots on kayak past lokrum islands and to a cave afterwards before going back. Instructors are nice and look after you.

Kayaking in Dubrovnik

Peter_R, Jul 2026
Nika and Dion were great. The kayaking was a little harder than expected and there’s really not much back support in the kayak. Also the masks for snorkeling were pretty bad so you might want to bring your own and I wasn’t going to trust the snorkel itself for cleanliness. The fish were fun to look at and the cave was beautiful. Also very worthwhile to get water shoes since there are a lot of pebbles and rocks. Lots of fun overall and would still recommend it.

So Much Fun!

kyle_b, Jul 2026
Whole experience was great. All three stops were beautiful and unique. Fast boat with great crew. And an outstanding play list on the boat!

Fun & Scenic trip

May_L, Jul 2026
A very nice 2-hr kayaking trip around the old town coast of Dubrovnik! Our guide Andrew was very friendly and professional! The stop at the cave was lovely and we could also take a short rest before returning! Highly recommend it to those who would love to see the beautiful town from the other side!!!

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Great experience!

Ally_H, Jul 2026
Avi and his assistant (name started with a D, I believe) were terrific tour guides! They were personable, funny, and knowledgeable, while also keeping everyone safe. As a first time kayaker, I felt very comfortable and safe. I had so much fun and I think this is a great experience for tourists!

Recommend!

Michelle_B, Jul 2026
Great experience! Avi did a great job showing us around while kayaking. He was very knowledgeable about the sights.

Kayaking experience

Danielle_H, Jul 2026
Brilliant once we got the hang of it, Andrew was great and helped us alot, it was hard work but was worth it, would definitely do again

This is not a tour of...

Kelly_F, Jul 2026
This is not a tour of Lokrum island. We kayaked maybe within 30 meters of the island. Spent about 40 minutes of the tour at the cave swimming. If you are really wanting to kayak I would recommend a different tour. There were great views of the city and walls. So if that what you are interested in then this tour works. Overall was worth the price.

Family fun tour

Joseph_C, Jul 2026
Our family had so much fun on this tour. Guides were so fun and really made the experience.the meet up point was a bit confusing but everyone was so helpful that we made it in time.

Very good !

Nika and Andrew were the best ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fun activity to explore Dubrovnik ! :) would recommend to friends and family

Great sea kayak experience!

Lanita_S, Jun 2026
Mauro was an exceptional guide! We left the dock and went around the old city to a fabulous beach with a cave to swim around in. He went above and beyond helping us to keep up with tbd group of much more experienced and stronger kayakers. I would recommend Mauro and this tour to anyone!

Really nice way to...

Laura_M, Jun 2026
Really nice way to explore Dubrovnik. The guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating to everyone in the group

A wonderful trip…highly recommended

Kate_H, Jun 2026
What an amazing experience. Ed our guide was fantastic. The safety briefing was excellent and put a nervous participant (me) at ease. He was a lot of fun but also was able to explain a lot about the area, history/geography etc. as a family of 4 with 2 adventurous teenage boys he was brilliant at making sure we were all entertained and that the boisterous nature of my kids was entertained Would absolutely highly recommend

Rockaway Queens NY Kayaks in Dubrovnik!

Kayaking outside the city walls

Absolutely fantastic experience with x-adventures. The location was easy to find. The route taking us outside the city walls was lovely and the introduction to Locum Island was ver but informative.
