Best kayak tour - The trip was fantastic a great way to see Dubrovnik, in my opinion better than the view from the walls. Neno was a great guide with lots of opportunities for photos and snack and a swim. Definitely worth the time when in Dubrovnik

Spectacular day of sea kayaking with Adventure Dubrovnik! - We had a wonderful sea kayak tour with Adventure Dubrovnik. Neno was the perfect guide, taking us to lovely spots and giving us just the right amount of information about everything we were seeing. The group size was perfect (just 5 tandem kayaks), the snack was healthy and delicious, the water was spectacular and it was amazing to kayak out to the island and along the walls of the old town. They even remembered that it was my husband's birthday! It is clear that this is a conscientious and responsible company and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a special and memorable way to see Dubrovnik from the sea.

Great kayak tour with Neno - We had an amazing adventure with Neno! He was very clear with instructions and very helpful with people who didn’t have much experience with kayaking. He gave a great tour and made it interesting by adding humor into his stories! He also made sure to get pictures of the group which was much appreciated! The little beach for snorkeling and swimming was beautiful, tons of fish! Overall great experience, 10/10 would recommend!

A fantastic A* experience - We went on the 8am experience with Neno as our guide. He was very helpful showing us how to get into the kayak & hold/use the paddles & explained the history of Dubrovnik as well as some local sites. We had a break in a cave beach with water & fresh fruit provided. Best bit of the trip was the snorkelling, in the warm, crystal clear sea looking at the fish. Neno took some beautiful photos/video along the way plus at the cave so we can look back on this fantastic trip. Would HIGHLY recommend. Thanks Neno, you were fab 👍🏼 Julie & Gary

Great activity to do in Dubrovnik. - Had a great time with wonderful guide Neno. Probably our top activity in Dubrovnik as we were able to see the old town from a different perspective and get some fun views and exercise in. Neno provides just the amount of direction but also lets guest enjoy the journey at their own pace. Lots of storage. The beach cave stop with snorkeling equipment and snacks provided were also very nice. Highly recommend a tour with Neno!
