Highlights
  • Obala Stjepana Radića 40 - Starting from Dubrovnik’s Gruž Harbor in the morning, we’ll hop on the ferry for Lopud island. Scenic ride takes about one hour.

  • Lopud Island - Upon arrival to Lopud and after a safety talk and kayaking instructions, we set off across the channel for the island of Šipan and the Green Cave

  • Sipan - Upon arriving to the hidden Green Cave, we’ll tie up our kayaks and get ready for a wonderful morning of swimming and cliff jumping. But first, we’ll grab snorkels and masks and swim down through the cave’s opening. Very few know about this cave … even the locals. Inside, there is plenty of room for swimming and even standing. This large, and safe, cave opens up to reveal an ethereal green light caused by the sun’s reflection off the sandy bottom. After, the group will swim in the deep cove outside the grotto’s entrance and try some cliff jumping.

  • Sipan - We continue on to the delightful fishing village of Šuđurađ, on Šipan, for a lunch of local delicacies. We’ll have some time off after lunch for sightseeing.

  • Lopud Island - Following lunch, we paddle back toward Lopud. Before calling it a day, we stop at the island of Ruda - our third island of the day – to explore and kayak into another cave. Guests will be back on Lopud in time for a walk and for the evening ferry back to Dubrovnik.

  • Port Gruz - We’ll finish the tour by ferrying back to Dubrovnik in late afternoon.

Great day! - Absolutely amazing tour with a great guide! Miro was very helpful and made me feel very comfortable throughout the kayaking, and we had a nice chat over a lovely lunch in Šipan as well. The views were great and the cave and cliff jumping experience were good fun. Cant recommend it enough!

Awesome experience - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide was friendly, relaxed and thoughtful of us. It was a hot day and could have been unpleasant, but he made sure we had plenty of breaks and swims to cool off. As a small group, we were able to stay or go from each place as we wanted and the pace was set for our level of inexperience. The green cave visit was a highlight, a magical place. Loved the snorkelling too and the kayaking was fun. With time to explore a couple more islands as well, it was a fabulous day out.

Our group had a blast! - Our group had a blast on this tour, the kayaks were sturdy and the guides Ivo and Milo were great to chat to. A big highlight was the snorkelling in the cave, that was unique and the guys were very helpful to those left confident in their swimming ability. The views were great from the water and you get the feeling of adventure :D

Highlight of our Dubrovnik trip! - We had a beautiful day on the water and exploring the green cave with our tour guide Miro, who was excellent. It was the highlight of our trip and we highly recommend!! Miro was great in making sure everyone was comfortable and going through instructions/guidance for kayaking. It was an amazing journey across the sea from Lopud to Sipan, and lovely to experience the journey by kayak, which I didn't find too tiring at all - steady pace, good level of exertion, and no aches the next day for me! A double kayak was used as standard, and I don't normally exercise apart from a long walk twice a week. The green cave on Sipan island was beautiful and I only wish I bought prescription goggles / contact lenses so my vision was clearer underwater, as the water was beautiful and clear. It was great to have GoPro photos to remember the day. I am super glad we booked this experience - thank you! :)

A fun adventure, recommended - First of all, thank you Miro for a really fun day! He made sure we were safe during a windy day with high tides and offered to assist us with anything. Since we were only 2 people, we had a chance for a nice talk during our paddling to the islands. The green cave was quite something to behold and the fact that you needed to dive in (during high tide) made it even more amazing. In addition, the cliff jumping was also a blast!

Wonderful tour, even better tour guide! - I can hardly recommend this trip enough. Our guide Miro met the three of us at the ferry terminal to make all the arrangements for the day and give some context. From there we parted ways to enjoy the ferry ride to the beautifully chaotic port town of Lopud, where we met up with Miro once again. It quickly became obvious that we would get to know Miro better, as he immediately invited us to reserve a lunch with him later in the day. And it turned out to be a joy to do so. We headed out in our kayaks, well prepared and briefed of safety, but treated with respect and freedom to move at he pace we were comfortable with. We shared stories and laughed and before we realized it we arrived at the green cave. We went for a swim while our guide secured the kayaks, and prepped us to dive into the cave. In theory a little uncomfortable for some of us, but Miro never pushed us if we didn't wish to, and we all ended up joining for the dive in the end anyways. The cave and cliff jumps were marvelous, and we ended up lounging in the sun for a while after, then paddled our way to a delicious lunch, tons more chatting, and eventually made our way back to Lopud via another cave. We ended the day with some local drinks with Miro back in Lopud, and bid each other a fond farewell. Thanks Miro! You've been a great guide and it was a pleasure to get to know you.

Lovely was to see Croatia - What a fantastic day out in the kayaks with Miro. Diving into the cave was really exciting ( but do not do if you cannot hold your breath for a long time). Miro was such fun to be with and he even sent us some great underwater photos.

Full Day Kayaking, Cabe Exploring, Snorkeling and Cliff Jumping - One of the best trips we did in Croatia. We were met by Ivica at the meet point who was easy to spot and lovely to begin with. Then when on the island we had the pleasure of been taken around with Marco who was AMAZING. Great laughs and gave confidence throughout the day. He was great to chat with! We had an incredible time, cannot thank them enough.

LOADS of work to get from one island to the green cave!! - Be advised, its a good experience if you want to spend significant time paddling the kayak from one island to the next. A good 90 minutes each way at a brisk pace... even my teenagers in athletic shape grew tired and weary. The cave is great but not much time to snorkel. Would advise to consider a boat tour for half the time and at a similar price and plus get to see an extra cave or two and other jumping spots. Either way, the ocean here is beautiful and this particular tour takes you to a nearby fishing village for a fresh lunch. Restaurant is brilliant but not a cheap meal. Only live once and so the fresh fish cooked on open flame was super tasty!
