Lokrum is the closest of Dubrovnik’s offshore islands and is the one you can clearly see from the Old Town. The little island is easy to access by boat – regular boats leave every 30min in summer and take just 15 minutes to reach the island. A more adventurous way to getting to Lokrum is to join a guided kayak excursion. Once you reach the island you can explore the lovely Botanical Gardens which were established in the 19th century and are home to a large variety of trees. Hidden among these you will find the ruins of a medieval monastery. In summer visitors can soak up the sun, swim and snorkel around the island and enjoy spotting varied wildlife.
