Where to go from Dubrovnik?Dubrovnik is not only a fascinating place to explore in its own right but it makes a great base for day trips throughout southern Dalmatia. The Dubrovnik region is replete with small villages that retain their folklore traditions.

Further down the coast is the resort of Cavtat. Lying at the tip of Croatia, Dubrovnik is close to Mostar in Bosnia-Hercegovina and Montenegro, which make great day tours. The Konavle region south of Dubrovnik is a storehouse of local traditions. And offshore, lie some of the most beautiful islands in the Adriatic: Mljet , Lokrum and the three Elaphiti Islands, Lopud, Sipan and Kolocep.

Organised Tours and Excursions

If you have unlimited time and your own wheels you could visit all the above highlights on your own but if your time frame is more cramped I recommend that you book an organised tour. Why?

 Where to go?

  • Elaphiti Islands Cruise
    From the fruit orchards of Kolocep to the sandy beach of Lopud and aristocratic Sipan, this excursion allows you to visit all three of these spectacular islands which is difficult to do on your own.
    The excursion includes lunch and you're on an old wooden Galleon.

  • Mostar
    Yes, the war is over. Despite the shudders the name can provoke, Bosnia-Hercegovina boasts some stunning attractions. A visit is difficult to work out on your own but a tour allows you to marvel at the 400-year old bridge painstakingly restored after its destruction in the 1990s. The excursion includes a guided tour of the old town.
  • Montenegro
    It's all the rage. Crossing the border into Montenegro takes you to the luscious Bay of Kotor, one of the most stunning in the Adriatic. This excursion includes a visit to medieval Kotor, Budva and Cetinje and entrance fees are included.
    Or you can visit Montenegro independently.
  • Medugorje Visit
    Six teenagers saw a vision of the Virgin Mary, turning this scenic town into a highly visited destination. You'll visit Apparation Hill and attend church as part of this tour.
  • Korcula Island and Wine Tasting
    Korcula Island with the old walled town of Korcula is another must on any Adriatic itinerary. It's not so close to Dubrovnik though, so visiting it by ferry in a day is out of the question. This tour allows plenty of time to see the town and enjoy a swim if you like.

  • Dubrovnik Panorama City Tour
    Find out what it all is and what it all means on this tour of Dubrovnik's historic core. This tour includes a knowledgeable local guide and entrance fees to the Dominican Monastery.
  • Sea Kayaking
    How about admiring the city walls from the sea and paddling into a natural cave? This paddle leaves from late May to late October.

    Why book an organised tour?

    Booking from an experienced tour operator Viator such as offers a number of conveniences.

    • choice of currency
      You can pay in US dollars, Australian dollars, British sterling or Euros which can save you money on exchange fees.
    • hotel pick-ups
      You can arrange to be picked up at your hotel, even if you're staying as far away as Cavtat.
    • low-price guarantee
      So you know you're getting your money's worth and cannot find a lower price elsewhere.

    Dubrovnik is fast becoming the most visited destination in the Adriatic and summer months can be busy indeed. Do NOT rely on booking an excursion when you arrive in Dubrovnik: they may well be booked out!
