Dubrovnik is one of the best places in Croatia to see from the water, and a kayaking tour is a fun, active way to experience the city’s dramatic coastline. From the sea, you get a completely different view of the Old Town, with its massive stone walls, red rooftops, rocky cliffs, and the deep blue Adriatic stretching out around you.

Most kayaking tours in Dubrovnik follow the coastline near the city walls and often include views of Lokrum Island, hidden caves, small beaches, and quiet swimming spots. Some tours are relaxed and beginner-friendly, while others are longer adventures with snorkeling stops, cliff views, or sunset paddles. It is a great option for travelers who want something more memorable than a standard walking tour but still want to stay close to the city.

Kayaking is also a good way to mix sightseeing with outdoor adventure. You can learn about Dubrovnik’s history, paddle below famous landmarks, stop for photos, and cool off in the sea along the way. Whether you choose a daytime tour, a sunset kayaking trip, or a route around Lokrum, a Dubrovnik kayaking tour is one of the most scenic ways to enjoy the city and the Adriatic coast.

The 28 tours in our research have an average price of $81, and the average rating is 4.5 out of 5 stars. Below are our picks for the best, so let's start planning!
