More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat eases out of the Old Town’s small dock and the stone walls of Dubrovnik shrink into a sunlit ribbon. Salt air cuts through the heat; gulls pick at wake. In two hours a local skipper will thread the boat around Lokrum’s rocky headlands, pause at pigeon-filled sea caves and drop anchors off Portoc Bay and the swim-friendly Betina cave.
