The island of Lokrum is packed with peacocks, salt water pools, ancient monasteries, and fun! We came here on a ferry boat leaving the Old Port of Dubrovnik. When you get there, you will find that the island is infested with peacocks! There are also …
Our private boat tour let us snorkel all around Dubrovnik to places that we chose. We were on this tour for the whole day, speeding around the islands in our guide Loren’s Cap Camarat. We went to three different islands: Šipan, Lopud, and Koločep. On …
