I’d never seen anything like it before. The boat itself was very comfortable, and the staff were friendly. If you love being on or in the water, I recommend booking this tour.

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 502 reviews · 4 - 5 hours · from $71

From Dubrovnik, Cavtat, Mlini, or Srebreno, take a four-to-five-hour shared speedboat tour to Koločep’s swim-in caves and Šunj Beach on Lopud. Snorkeling gear and drinks are included. Guides such as Ivan, Mario, and Rino have helped make the ride lively, but guide assignments vary. Expect cave swims, open-water crossings, and a long beach stop.

“This trip was wonderful! Whilst the first stop was a bit congested with boats and other people in the water, this was manageable and, I suppose to be expected in retrospect. It was entirely worth it when in the cave though! The beach stop at the end was superb. Busy enough for a fun feeling without being at all crowded. Ivan was the perfect guide, I cannot speak highly enough of him.”
