Full-Day Dubrovnik Elaphite Islands Cruise with Lunch

The captain and crew were extremely pleasant and well organized. The visits to each island were timed perfectly and allowed enough time to enjoy the experience. The lunch on board was excellent - would very much recommend this tour.

Very polite people and great tour... The islands were beautiful and the tour wasn't tiring at all. Thank u!!!

very helpful crew. very well organised. great trip with great scenery, lovely islands, food supplied was acceptable.

To no real fault of the tour boat operators, I personally would not book this excursion again myself. I had read in previous reviews that this is essentially an expensive ferry service to multiple islands with lunch included. I didn’t understand at the time, but now I do, and I wish the author had spent more time explaining! We are the type to enjoy soaking up the sun, relaxing, drinking, eating good foods, and playing on beautiful sandy beaches, so this was not an excursion meant for us (we really thought the boat would be more of a sun-wind-water experience, and at the time I was overwhelmed with trip planning so chose this because it was easy). We were allowed 2 1/2 hours on Lopund where we wish we could have stayed all day. After the short walk and golf cart taxi to Sunj beach, we really only had 90min left on the beach before having to pack up and head back. We were so bummed because this beach is wonderful. I highly recommend a day spent at this beach with its gorgeous sand, shallow and warm waters. Honestly… I wish we had instead booked just the simple ferry ride from Dubrovnik harbor (did you know this is only €4 per, each way?!?) and here is why: at the next island we were only afforded a 40 min stop and the third we were given maybe 45 min. These last two islands are unnecessary for someone looking for an amazing sun-filled beach excursion, with a restaurant and bar right on the beach. Plus, there is nothing to do on these other islands in so short a time. It was only long enough to get off the boat, find the rocky beach, get wet, just to dry off again and walk back to the boat. (Keep in mind this whole time we could have been laying out and playing at Sunj beach). Not only this but loading the boat initially was a very hectic experience (the owner of the company seemed very stressed and had us crossing boats that were tied to one another at the port). Now. If you enjoy spending your time on a boat (seated 4-6 to a table with forced conversation) and think seeing all the islands is a priority, and you like the idea of an included lunch and watered down wine, then know that your transfers are timely, and boat operators kind. All in all… Only recommend if you are feeling lazy and aren’t like me, and thinking you are getting a glorious sun-filled, tan-induced beach day at one of the area’s finest beaches. I only docked one star for organization and poor time management… although I don’t personally recommend, this excursion was as described, but definitely left room for an optimistic outlook. Hopefully this review helps set a realistic expectation.

If you're looking for one of the best value for money experiences, while visiting some beautiful islands near Dubrovnik then this is the trip for you. The staff on board the ship were friendly and look after all your needs, including filling up water bottles when emptied, which we very much needed during the hot weather. The food was lovely and refreshments were provided throughout the boat trips to and between the islands. The alloted time on each island was perfect, giving you sufficient time to explore each island and all they had to offer. I would highly recommend this trip

We loved to get a glimpse into life on Croatian islands. Swimming on beaches with gorgeous views was my favourite. It was a great trip, and really good value for money. We had lovely boat crew. Highly recommend.

Great trips, with wonderful hosts, but think the day trip would be better if just 2 islands were visited instead of 3. This would have allowed us more time to enjoy the scenery for more than 45 mins. as on the last 2 islands .

Brilliant day. Each of the three islands we visited was beautiful, with excellent snorkelling, walking trails & pretty villages. The boat was pretty full but not overcrowded. Lunch was basic but fair enough considering it was cooked onboard.

Overall the trip is great value for money. We were picked up from our hotel and returned at the end of the experience, which helped make the trip smooth and enjoyable. The staff on the boat were friendly and professional - especially the host Emily. You visit three islands (Lopud, Sipan and Kolocep). The first island, Lopud, is the most worthwhile to visit and you stay there for 3 hours. Lunch was provided and it was delicious. Personally, I didn't enjoy Sipan and Kolocep as much as Lopud but that is not through any fault of the tour guide at all. If you want a day to swim and wander, it is great, but it feels a bit 'samey' by islands 2 and 3. Overall, well organised and an enjoyable experience.

Staff made the experience worth it. They were very knowledgeable and great hosts. We especially enjoyed buying a snorkel and observing the marine life.
