Dubrovnik Private Speedboat Tour to Elaphite Islands with Drinks

10.Dubrovnik Private Speedboat Tour to Elaphite Islands with Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 660 reviews · 4 to 8 hours (approx.)

Set out from Dubrovnik with a private skipper such as Marin, Ante, or Simon, then swim at Koločep’s caves, relax on car-free Lopud, and visit Šipan on the full-day trip. Drinks, towels, life jackets, and snorkeling gear are included, while lunch and fuel cost extra.

“Marin, our Skipper, was delightful, very knowledgeable, understood (and spoke) English very well and accommodated our desire to see a few more caves and spend less time swimming at every cave or beach which allowed us time to have a light lunch with beer and wine in a beautiful little village over looking the sea and then drop us in OLD TOWN Dubrovnik instead of back at Cruise Port. It made for a PERFECT 4 hour tour and then we spent 2.5 hours strolling OLD Dubrovnik and caught taxi back to Cruise Port (7-8 minute drive) for only 12.00 Euro.”

“I loved this experience. Nikolai was a great captain 👍. The blue cave was cool but I didn't see any fish. I enjoyed the swim though and the chance to cool down. I really enjoyed visiting the different islands. The first one Kolcep was my favourite. The beach is Sandy, but if you walk round the island a bit further there are quieter rocky parts you can swim next to. I had lunch on Sipan, which wasn't too expensive. A lot cheaper than Dubrovnik anyway. I am glad I didn't wait until Lapud as it was more luxurious restaurants and pricier there. You got plenty of cold soft drinks to…”
