Our guide Andro is a very nice man, he treated us very nice and explained us a lot about the history of Dubrovnik. Anyways, I like him and will recommend other tourists to come here to spend their time in the future.

Amazing kayak experience. We opted for the longer option and were a little worried but were able to handle the physical exertion without an issue (another with an array of ages in our tour). My only wish was to stop at lokrum island, but we kayaked around while getting great views and tour. We stopped at a cove for provided sandwich lunch with water and returned.
