3.Mljet National Park trip – Pure Nature & Island Escape

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 33 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $156Best value

Travel from Dubrovnik’s Gruž Market to Mljet National Park by boat, cycle around saltwater lakes, and visit St Mary’s monastery island. Dorian and another guide lead the day, which also includes Prapratno Beach, snorkeling equipment, drinks, and a stop on Lopud.

“The island itself is beautiful and worth seeing. The tour itself is somewhat advertised falsely as an E-bike tour when the bikes themselves are not included in the tour price (35 EUR per person). The boat that takes you out to the island is a large banana boat with uncomfortable seats and the ride takes close to 2 hours one way. The tour also says it includes drinks but we weren’t offered a drink at any time. So the tour price basically paid for an uncomfortable boat ride.”

7.Mljet Island tour from Dubrovnik

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 4 reviews · 10 hours (approx.)

Travel from Dubrovnik to Mljet National Park by air-conditioned vehicle and ferry, then explore the island with an English-speaking guide and boat transfer. The 10-hour trip includes pickup, transport, and guiding, but the park entrance fee is extra.

“Aunque la excursión fue fantástica no podemos ponerle la máxima puntuación por varios motivos. El primero es que está mal explicada, no es una excursión en barco sino en autobús y ferry y la segunda es que solicitamos el guía en español pero un par de días antes nos comunicaron que el guía no estaba disponible y que nos acompañaría uno de habla inglesa. La mitad del grupo no entendemos el inglés por lo que nos enteramos de algo a partir de la traducción de nuestra amiga. Ahora bien hay que señalar que el guía fue super amable y muy atento con nosotros.”
