2.Full-Day Blue Cave & Elaphiti Islands Boat Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 624 reviews · 8 hours · from $65Top rated

Spend eight hours aboard the family-run Stonac or Pomena, cruising from Dubrovnik to the Blue Cave, Koločep, Šipan, and Lopud. Captain Nikola, Manuela, Valerio, and their crew keep the mood relaxed with drinks, snorkeling gear, a cold meat-and-cheese platter, and plenty of time ashore.

“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.

3.Elaphite Islands Cruise and Blue Cave Snorkeling Boat Tour from Dubrovnik

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 392 reviews · 8 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $60

Spend 8 to 9 hours cruising from Dubrovnik to Lopud, Šipan, and Koločep, with lunch, unlimited drinks, and a weather-dependent swim at the Blue Cave. Expect a relaxed island day, simple local food, and a boat that may carry up to 50 people, though some departures are much smaller.

“Very crowded and load boat. Said departure time on was 09 on the booking but was called 0840 that departure time was apparently 0845. One of the crew was smoking and throwing the cigarette into the ocean. No cans of soda just big bottles with small plastic cups so very impractical for people to constantly refill their tiny cups that the wind would blow off the boat if they were half-empty. No coke zero or any diet soda options. Blue cave very crowded with what seemed like people who couldn’t even swim in life jackets, can’t even imagine what it’s like in peak season. Beaches were not anything to see…”
