Looking for the best things to do in Dubrovnik, Croatia? We thought the famous Old Town would be the highlight of our cruise stop—until a sea kayaking excursion completely changed our minds. During our Mediterranean cruise, we explored one of Croatia's most beautiful destinations. Instead of spending our entire day inside Dubrovnik's famous medieval walls, we kayaked along the Adriatic Sea, visited the stunning hidden beach at Plaža Betina Špilja (Betina Cave Beach), paddled past Lokrum Island, relaxed at Beach Šulić, and wandered through the unforgettable streets of Dubrovnik Old Town. If you're arriving on a cruise ship, this video also explains how to get from the Dubrovnik Cruise Port to Old Town using the inexpensive local bus system—something we wish we had known before arriving. In this video: ✅ Dubrovnik cruise port tips ✅ Cheap transportation to Old Town ✅ Sea kayaking excursion review ✅ Betina Cave Beach ✅ Lokrum Island ✅ Beach Šulić ✅ Dubrovnik Old Town ✅ Where to eat in Dubrovnik (Soul Kitchen) ✅ Is kayaking worth it? ✅ What to do in Dubrovnik in one day Sea kayaking wasn't originally our first choice, but it ended up becoming one of the highlights of our entire Europe vacation. Seeing Dubrovnik's ancient city walls from the water is something we'll never forget.
