Know before you go

From its first day, "Mail Ivan" has been around Dubrovnik Old Town and its surroundings for fishing, taking people for a swim, sailing around, collecting life memories, and capturing other precious moments. 'Mali Ivan' has caught tons of fish that can be found in the Adriatic on many sleepless nights, as well as under Dubrovnik's dusks. Nowadays, the boat is retired from fishing but will take you on an adventure and tell you the story that lives forever. Our boat ride around the archipelago will include a visit to one of the popular local sea caves. There, you have the option to take a swim, explore the Adriatic Sea, or try cliff diving.
Go to the island of Lokrum, which is a true paradise for nature lovers and one of the gems of the Dubrovnik archipelago. The natural environment of Lokrum reveals the beautiful contrast between its dark caves and its eternal green forests. But many questions arise concerning why Lokrum possesses such a wealth of preserved nature. The secret lies in a relationship between man and nature that dates from ancient times. From 1964, Lokrum was declared a Managed Natural Reserve park, and from 1976, it was put under the protection of UNESCO as a Special Forest Vegetation Reserve park. Thus, observing this island from the outside is not enough to reveal all the treasures that one can find on Lokrum.
