Blue Cave Small-Group Boat Tour from Dubrovnik

1.Blue Cave Small-Group Boat Tour from Dubrovnik

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9,360 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $84Our pick

Set out from Dubrovnik with a skipper and up to 11 other passengers for a half-day boat trip to the Blue Cave, Koločep’s three sea caves, and a beach stop on Lopud. You must swim to enter the caves. Snorkeling gear and one drink at each stop are included; captains such as Anthony, James, and Roko have been praised for making the trip fun and well organized.

“Blue caves were amazing, got to the beach early to grab a great spot and the green caves totally topped off a great day James was a great skipper and ran everything like clockwork Would take a camera that can be used in the water to make the memories even better and make sure you use the snorkelling gear on offer - water is so clear through the masks”

“Overall it was fine, the gap between islands is about 15 minutes so you don’t actually go that far. The islands were beautiful and the trip was pretty good value for money. The skipper was a bit rude to me when I asked to come onto the boat about 10 minutes early, he asked why, and would t let me come on which I never experienced before. You can t jump off the boat and there is no swimming from the boat it all done when you reach the islands. Food was good and drinks plentiful, although there is only about 15-20 minutes in between each island so you don’t…”

8.3 Islands Boat Tour with Lunch & drinks(FR, ES, EN)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,074 reviews · 9 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $72

TRITON leaves Dubrovnik for a full day among the Elaphiti Islands, with a long stop on Lopud and shorter visits to Šipan and Koločep. Fish, meat or vegetarian lunch, soda, bottled water, WiFi and music are included. Expect swimming time and a sociable boat, not a quiet sightseeing cruise. Pickup may be available, depending on where you are staying.

“Pick up was on time and for the most part, the cruise was lovely. The highlight was Lopud and I could easily have spent more time there instead a rushed visit to the other two rather boring islands. On the downside, the captain was a grump and some of us did not get the requested lunch as they ran out.”

You’ll have time for a village or farm visit, optional honey, olive oil and wine tastings, and a long Lopud stop for swimming or exploring. Guides have included Daniela, Andreja, Indira and Darko.

“This is an incredible boat excursion to see some Adriatric islands, learn some history, and get a real taste of Croatia. Can highly recommend the “olive oil” tasting on the first island— not only did we taste olive oil, but also home-baked bread, honeys, bee pollen, figs, 3 kinds of rakia, sugared orange and grapefruit rinds, and candied almonds— all for 5 Euro—well worth it. The wine tasting on Shipan was equally impressive in terms of abundant delicious appetizers, good wine and the charming owner. Finally, we enjoyed a wonderful walk ( no need to take a motorized cart) and a dip in the Adriatic on the final island (take…”

Our guide was fantastic - she was thoughtful, took time to speak to us personally and give us suggestions throughout the trip, had excellent knowledge and practical tips on how to spend our time at each island given the gloomy weather etc. The staff on the ship were also helpful.
