What To Expect
Dubrovnik City Walls
The Old City Walls of Dubrovnik are a remarkable medieval fortification encircling the historic core of the city in Croatia. Built primarily between the 12th and 17th centuries, these massive stone walls stretch for about 2 kilometers and rise up to 25 meters in height. Dotted with imposing towers, bastions, and gates, the walls offer breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea and the terracotta rooftops of Dubrovnik’s Old Town. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, they stand as a testament to the city’s rich history and resilience, attracting visitors from around the globe.
Lovrjenac Fortress
The Lovrijenac Fortress, often called the "Fortress of St. Lawrence," is a dramatic and iconic stronghold located on a 37-meter-high cliff overlooking the Adriatic Sea and the Old Town of Dubrovnik, Croatia. Constructed in the 11th century, it played a vital role in defending the city from both land and sea invasions. Renowned for its thick stone walls and commanding position, the fortress carries the inscription Non Bene Pro Toto Libertas Venditur Auro ("Freedom is not to be sold for all the gold in the world"). Today, it is a must-visit landmark, offering breathtaking views and serving as a venue for cultural events, such as the Dubrovnik Summer Festival

5.00This was the best day. Lovely skipper and guide. Free quality drinks and every stop was pure bliss. Lots of fish at the caves, the island was stunning, the beach was lovely - we may even book again tomorrow as it's literally the perfect way to escape the heat and see the best of Croatia 🇭🇷 😀

5.00We had a great time, but we were gutted not to be able to go to the last beach due to a change in weather conditions. The woman facilitating the trip was lovely though and kept us informed and got us safely back to cavtat on an alternative boat
Definitely worth it !

5.00We couldn’t have been happier spending the day on this trip. We had an amazing view, drinks and hospitality were superb. We swam at almost every location, and the water was amazing, so clear we could see everything. We were fascinated with the fish and starfish and just how amazing it all was. We got lunch at St Jacob’s beach, it was so fresh. Our host on the boat and captain were amazing, talked us through the different sites and made the trip around the island feel so special. Would recommend it to anyone visiting Cavtat, it’s a real day trip but so amazing, it felt like the time flew by but it was so worth it. I took so many videos, there are few pictures but they speak for themselves !
