Kayak adventures usually start in the Pile bay, a harbour located below the Lovrjenac fortress. Participants are welcomed by a licensed tour guide who introduces them to the tour program, all safety measures and equipment. There is a choice of a kayak with one or two seats, and all personal belongings can be stored safely in a waterproof barrel. Almost all kayak tours are designed so that people of all ages can participate in them and do not require a special level of fitness, but a reasonable physical form sufficient for paddling.

By rowing along the city walls, participants have the opportunity to get to know these imposing ramparts from the sea - exactly as Dubrovnik's enemies have faced them throughout history - and to experience them firsthand their magnificence and invincibility.

Cutting through the clear and pure blue sea with oars, enjoying the beautiful view, the kayak tour usually leads to the popular Dubrovnik excursion and bathing spot - the island of Lokrum. Numerous stories and legends have been associated with Lokrum throughout history, so it is known as the "haunted" island and the island of love, and all its secrets are revealed to the rowers during breaks from rowing by their guide. When Lokrum is approached from the sea, the unique sandy beach Betina špilja is also available, which can only be accessed from the sea. There it is possible to take a little longer break with a refreshing meal and a series of fun activities such as swimming, sunbathing, diving or jumping from cliffs. Masks with snorkels are available for tour participants to explore the underwater wealth of this beach and cave.

Bathed in golden-yellow to red colours, with the shimmer of the sea and the first stars in the sky, Dubrovnik leaves its visitors with scenes, accessible only from the sea, that they will never forget.
