Private Cruise to Mljet Island, from Dubrovnik

Spend time on the stunningly beautiful Mljet Island on this full-day, private cruise from Dubrovnik. Choose between a speedboat or yacht, relax on the deck, and soak up the sun as you glide across the sparkling waters of the Adriatic Sea.

Sit back and relax on the boat. Bask in the beauty of your surroundings and feel free to ask your skipper questions. This being a private tour, the commentary can be tailored according to your interests.

As you approach the Kolocep island, take in the sheer cliffs that rise abruptly from the sea and dive into the waters for snorkeling and to explore the wind-carved cave. Dry off on deck and enjoy a piece of fruit, soft drink and water as you cruise onward to Mljet Island. Stop at the island’s famous lemon-wedge-shaped beach, aptly named Lemuni (Lemons), and relax on its sandy beaches or cool off in the shallows.

Next, return to your boat and cruise toward Mljet National Park at the northern tip of the island. This serene and untouched oasis boasts saltwater lakes, pine forests and lush flora. Explore the legendary cave where the fabled Odysseus found shelter after surviving a shipwreck — and was seduced by the nymph Calypso who kept him on the island for several years.

Continue around the island, rejuvenate your senses in picturesque surroundings and then explore the fishing village of Pomena. With time here spent at your leisure, visit the lakes or the Benedictine monastery (own expense). Visit the charming harbor lined with fishing boats and gleaming yachts, before meeting back up with your skipper for a traditional lunch at a local restaurant of your choice (own expense).

After lunch, head back to Dubrovnik where your tour concludes.
