Embark on an unforgettable kayaking adventure starting from Pile Bay, a charming small harbor nestled below Fort St. Lawrence. For fans of the show 'Game of Thrones,' this is the iconic filming location for Blackwater Bay. No prior kayaking experience is necessary, as a comprehensive briefing will cover all the essential techniques before we set off.
This is the original and most complete sea kayaking tour. Unlike others that may shorten the experience by skipping parts of Lokrum Island, we ensure you complete a full circle. Throughout the journey, we'll make several stops for you to rest and enjoy. Our guides will share fascinating stories about the history of the Dubrovnik Republic, the beauty of Lokrum Island, the recent War for Independence, and the iconic city walls, among other captivating tales.
A highlight of the tour is a 30-minute stop at Betina Cave. Here, you'll have the opportunity to use provided snorkeling gear, dive into the refreshing sea, and explore the vibrant underwater world. Afterward, we'll paddle back towards the coast of Dubrovnik, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

A great morning
Joseph_B, October 2026
It was quite exhilarating, our guide Joseph was very knowledgeable and experienced. I felt very comfortable even though I had never done this before. I’m 76 years young and never had any concerns for my safety. This adventure is also quite taxing on your stamina but Joseph gave us the confidence to make the 5KM trek. Highly recommend Joseph.

Dion was our guide, and he was amazing. Finding the actual outfitter was a little tricky, but the other kayak outfits along the way directed us where to go and it went very smoothly. I would highly recommend this excursion

Guide was good and good...
Alison_H, October 2026
Guide was good and good fun and the Swim spot was lovely. However, I had thought we were going to be Kayaking and landing on Lokrum Island but we didn’t.
