“My partner was sick and was not able to make it. we were in a cruise with my Daughter and her Husband I asked then to take our place. We went and they accommodated by adding one to our reservation. The best thing was that they did not realize we were expecting Electric Bikes. After a quick phone call they figured it out and it was a reasonable extra fee.

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 18 reviews · 3 hours · from $288

Ride a Can-Am ATV through Dubrovnik villages, olive groves, Srđ, and Strinčjera with hotel transfers and superb sea views.

“Our ATV tour was well organised and interesting. Our guide, Josip, was excellent - he was very attentive to our needs, friendly, thoughtful and capable. We loved that the tour took us through small villages and out of the usual paths to Mt Srd as we experienced areas we would not have seen otherwise. The off road component may not be for all, but we enjoyed it and the vehicle was more than capable for the task and felt safe. For those not wishing to have that part of the experience, an alternative is offered. A great trip with wonderful views high above Dubrovnik.”
