Private Cruise to Elaphite Islands, from Dubrovnik

Discover the charms of the stunning Elaphite Islands on this full-day trip from Dubrovnik on a private boat. Explore the sun-kissed archipelago on either a speedboat or a yacht with a professional skipper guiding you.

Meet your professional skipper in Central Dubrovnik and hop on the boat. Glide across the Adriatic Sea and take in gorgeous views of Dubrovnik Old Town.

Enjoy some fruit and a soft drink or water, and peer over the side of the boat to see the vibrant reefs and marine life that flourish below sea level. Stop at a cave at the island of Kolocep and admire the cliffs that rise dramatically from the sea. Dive into the water and soak in the natural beauty of the wind-carved sea cave (if weather conditions allow).

Then, continue to Lopud. Dock by Šunj, one of southern Dalmatia’s most famous beaches. Enjoy the sun on the beach, enjoy a refreshing swim in the azure waters and go snorkeling. Later, explore the medieval architecture, aged monuments and other beaches on the island’s main town on your own.

Next, make your way to Šipan, the largest of the Elaphite Islands. Enjoy some leisurely time, explore the ruins of 15th-century manor houses and medieval churches, or stroll through the groves of citrus bushes, grapevines and fig shrubs. You can also enjoy lunch at a local tavern (not included in the package).

After exploring Šipan, it is time to cruise back to Dubrovnik. En route, you can stop at another one of the idyllic islands for a final swim or snorkel. You can stay and swim wherever you'd like provided it is safe for the boat and its passengers.

The tour ends in central Dubrovnik.
