ABOUT US


 “See Dubrovnik from a Different Perspective”

 Adventure Dubrovnik is a Croatian registered travel agency that specializes in active holidays in Dubrovnik. We believe our greatest strength is the combination of real world experience and a passion for the work we do. 


 Our team is comprised of both staff employed year ’round as well as seasonally employed staff -several of whom have been with us since the early years. We have one of the highest staff retention rates in our niche. Almost all of our permanently employed staff are licensed local tour guides (Croatian Ministry of Tourism/Law on the Provision of Tourism Services Articles 69-78) and are active members of the Dubrovnik Association of Tourist Guides. In addition, all of our adventure guides are lawfully licensed by the Croatian Mountain Rescue Association (HGSS) and/or the internationally recognized American Canoe Association (ACA) as mandated by the Croatian Ministry of Tourism/Law on the Provision of Tourism Services Articles 92-93). 


 The origins of our company go back to 2002 when one of our founding members completed the then rigorous Dubrovnik guide licensing process and at age 18 became the youngest person ever to be accepted into the Dubrovnik Association of Tourist Guides. We have guided numerous groups on Dubrovnik Old Town tours, panoramic tours, city tours and other excursions into to every corner of the Dubrovnik region.


 After many years of guiding walking tours we decided to shake things up a bit and expand into new territories. We launched Adventure Dubrovnik and our first active day trips, the sea kayaking Dubrovnik trip and the Dubrovnik countryside biking trip. The drive to constantly improve has made Adventure Dubrovnik one of the leading eco-friendly adventure trip providers in the Dubrovnik region.


From 2022 we've starting pushing towards more ecologically balanced operations. We're slowly moving away from fuel-based vehicle tours  (boats, vans, cars) and more towards eco-friendly, human powered tours (kayaks, bikes, hiking). We no longer provide transfer services for our regularly running tours. Instead, our regular guests are encouraged to use public transportation whenever possible. Transfers are limited to large private group tours in order to maximize fuel efficiency and ecological footprint. In 2023 we launched a bus schedule phone service for our guests interested in using public buses to get around Dubrovnik.


 We coined the phrase “See Dubrovnik from a Different Perspective.” We hope some day to share our unique perspective and the beauty of Dubrovnik with you.

WHY CHOOSE US

TOP OF THE LINE EQUIPMENT
All of our equipment is top of the line and well maintained.

Equipment We Use

We’ve tested and compared performance, ease of use, comfort, and safety in order to gain knowledge into what is the best for us to use.

KAYAKS

The kayaks we use are from the French manufacturer, DAG. For our day tours we mostly use the Treck II model. It is a modern design, sit on top kayak that combines the comfort, speed, and seaworthiness similar to a sit-in kayak but also has the stability and safety of a sit on top kayak. We’ve found it to be the best suited piece of equipment for our needs.

BICYCLES 

The bicycles we use are from a U.S. manufacturer, Gary Fisher (part of the Trek brand). We chose a hybrid that is suitable for road use and for off-road use. The bikes are fully equipped, well maintained, and come in different sizes.

BOATS

Our boats are more comfortable, more spacious and more stable than any other boat in its length range on the market. The boats are fully equipped and are powered with excellent quality and regularly maintained outboard engines. When it comes to small boat shipbuilding, Croatia is amongst the best shipbuilding nations in the world. This pride in quality extends to our boat rentals. Whether Croatian otherwise, we will strive to honor the top quality standards embraced by our forefathers.

SPEEDBOAT

In order to organize tours to the highest standards we use a lot of additional equipment. One such piece of equipment is a Quicksilver speedboat we own and use as a support vessel for our kayaking tours.
