About this tour
This session takes the short boat crossing from Dubrovnik's old harbour to Lokrum, a forested island a few minutes offshore. You see the old town walls from the water as the boat leaves, then the island itself, with shaded paths and old monastery ruins among the trees. It is a practical, live look at the island rather than a description of it from land.
We start at the harbour with a sound check, then move through the crossing and onto the island for the second stop, taking questions about the ruins and the paths. A short list of names follows once the session ends.
It suits anyone deciding whether a short island trip fits their visit. It also suits a warmer booking, since the island's shade is part of its appeal.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included

The forested island 21 min
Arriving at Lokrum, I walk the shaded paths and point out the old monastery ruins tucked among the trees.
-
Your questions 9 min
Time to ask anything about Dubrovnik: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Dalmatian pršut and Ploče, worth a slower look.
Good to know
- A stable wifi or mobile connection makes the picture smoother than a shaky one.
- Any phone, tablet or laptop with a camera works. You watch, the guide does the walking.
- Times are shown in Zagreb time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 9 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.

How it works

- We meet on Google Meet; the link comes with your booking. I hold the phone steady from the boat, so the picture may move a little with the water.
