True local experience - This paddle board tour on the Ombla River was the perfect escape from the busy city. Peaceful, scenic, and beginner-friendly, with crystal-clear water and a super knowledgeable guide. We loved the swim at the natural spring and the local snacks and drinks afterward were a great touch. A fun, relaxing, and memorable experience - highly recommend!

amazing tour in Dubrovnik - This wasn’t just like a regular paddle tour, it felt like spending the day with locals who genuinely love what they do. Our guide Teo shared not only the beauty of the Ombla river, but also personal stories, traditions, and a real sense of place. We paddled through serene waters few tourists ever see, stopped at a natural spring, and then relaxed with homemade snacks and drinks, all locally sourced. The visit to a family-run ceramics studio at the end made it even more special. If you’re looking to connect with the real Dubrovnik beyond the Old Town walls, this is the tour to book.

Amazing time, and great experience - We had an amazing time paddle boarding on the Ombla River! It was such a calm, beautiful setting—way different from the usual tourist spots. The guide made us feel comfortable right away, even as first-timers. We loved learning a bit of local history along the way, swimming in the spring, and ending the day with delicious local snacks. A must-do if you’re in Dubrovnik!

Crazy adventure in Dubrovnik! - We absolutely loved this paddle board tour! The river was peaceful and stunning, with calm water perfect for paddling - even if you’re a beginner. Our guide was fantastic, sharing fun stories and making everyone feel at ease. The swim in the cool spring was refreshing, and the local snacks at the end were delicious. A great way to see a different side of Dubrovnik, a true local area and experience!

So refreshing! - Perfect tour to get away from the crowds of the city and the scorching heat! Going off into the quiet area of the river Ombla and to the cool spring which is like 15 C° at most 🥶 is just the thing you need in the middle of summer in Dubrovnik! Accompanied by knowledgeable guide Juraj who can tell you ecerything you need to know and more, like that the Vatican used to own a tiny river island right there! To top it all off a nice platter of local cheeses and dried meats prepared for you at the end of the tour in a local riverside property with souvenirs to bring home!
