“We really enjoyed the sea kayaking and snorkeling experience in Dubrovnik. It’s a fantastic way to see the city’s stunning coastline from the water. The views of the old city walls from the kayak were breathtaking, and the stop at Lokrum Island and Betina sea cave added a fun element of exploration. Swimming and snorkeling in the Adriatic was refreshing, but cold! However, our experience was impacted by the guide. He wasn’t particularly friendly or engaging, and unlike other reviewers stated, we didn’t get any historical background or interesting facts about the area. He also didn’t give us clear instructions on staying behind him, then became frustrated when we didn’t,…”

Review of Zadar’s Dugi Otok speedboat tour, with snorkeling, Sakarun Beach, a shipwreck, sea cave, lighthouse, tips, and value advice.
“We really enjoyed the full day trip with our guide. We were a small group of 12 people. The guide was very friendly and open-minded and gave us small bits of historic context at each stop. It was a good amount of stops for the given time, so we didn't feel rushed. The itinerary was great, we enjoyed the Sakarun beach and the snorkeling at the ship wreck the most. They had snorkeling equipment and also swimming noodles available for lesser experienced swimmers. We'd recommend to be a bit of a stronger swimmer when it comes to the sea cave as we had to swim against higher waves in the…”
