In addition to visiting all the caves we went to a beach with the softest sand Then we had the most magnificent lunch on Lockrum Island. Such a terrific way to spend the day in Dubrovnik. There wasn’t anything I would change about this tour. Very happy we chose to do it privately - 100% personalized service.”

Ivan, our Captain, was very knowledgeable about the local history and when the touristy areas were crowded with other boats, he provided options that were less crowded and more private. He took us to a cove that was unbelievably beautiful! The water was calm and a crystal clear turquoise blue. We explored the island of Lopud on our own and had lunch. When we returned to the boat, Ivan surprised us with fresh apricots he had purchased! We had a wonderfully relaxing half day and would highly recommend Ivan!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 164 reviews · 8 hours (approx.)

Spend about eight hours on a private boat from Dubrovnik with Captain Bruno, Ivan, Lovro, or another local skipper. Swim and snorkel in Koločep’s Blue Cave, stop for lunch on Šipan, walk around Lopud, and relax at sandy Šunj Beach. Hotel pickup, drinks, and snorkeling gear are offered.

“My niece and I were really looking forward to this boat trip as many of the reviews touted it as a fun day out. Maybe it could have been - but the old taxi driver taking us to the boat was more friendly and interactive than Ivan the skipper of the day. Although courteous and pefroming the role of taking us to all the spots - seemed lacking in interest and we didnt feel welcome. We felt more like cargo carted around and seemed more like a inconvenience on the day. Perhaps he had a hangover or a bad day - but it kind of spolit the trip for us.”

“Excellent day – 6 hours just flew by. Great communication before the tour arranging pick up; the captain’s brother collected us from our hotel just before 9am and took us to the new port to meet the boat. Our first stop was Kolocep where we got off to hike to the top of the cliffs to see a beautiful bay, then we could have walked over to the pretty beach but opted instead to return to the boat and asked Vicenzo if we could go to the bay to swim instead. He said it was an excellent place to snorkel and it was. We had our own equipment but he…”
