The 10 Best Speedboat Island Tours in Dubrovnik

1.Dubrovnik Private Speedboat Tour to Elaphite Islands with Drinks

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

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.”

“We ABSOLUTELY LOVED this tour of the islands during our honeymoon! Antuni was our guide and he was incredibly friendly, from offering us drinks on the boat to telling us the history and fun facts about the islands. He was really flexible when we said we felt too cold to swim and gave us more time to explore on the islands. Sometimes you feel anxious when you go on a private tour with just two people that it could be awkward, but he made us feel very comfortable, safe and educated about the islands! The boat was also really comfortable, too. We also appreciated the tour operator, Pavo, being flexible…”
