    Always wanted to go kayaking. Couldn’t have picked a more perfect place to start. Guide was great and very informative. Sandwich and water tasted like nectar after you have worked for it!! Stopped in a large cavern for lunch with a spot of snorkelling. Fantastic would do it again tomorrow, and the next day and.....

    Best way to see Dubrovnik, and fun! The guide was extremely knowledgeable and encouraging to our group who was certainly getting tired, but he made it fun and exciting the entire time. Best experience in Dubrovnik.

    This was a really fun day. It’s ok if you don’t have any experience in kayaking you should get it by the end of the day. The guides were great and allowed you to choose to spend more time on the beach or do more kayaking around Lokrum which was great if you want more sport or leisure. Overall i would advice you to be decently in shape and enjoy your time

    An absolutely unique view of the Old Town of Dubrovnik and its history. Everything becomes especially interesting from the kayak. I heard many beautiful stories about the city and people. Excursion prices are reasonable and worth every cent. The guide was great and very informative. I also went on a walking tour and I was blown away by the city, the guides, and the whole team. They brightened up my long-awaited vacation. Thanks to Maris and Mark who were extremely kind. I highly recommend Dubrovnik Walks - and every excursion with them, because you will be happy and you will definitely remember these experiences!
