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”

The day includes lunch with meat, fish, or vegetarian choices, plus water, soft drinks, white wine, and brandy. Pickup is available in Dubrovnik if selected. Crew members such as Emily and Darko have hosted some departures, but staff can vary.

“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…”

11.Mostar and Kravice Waterfalls Tour from Dubrovnik (Semi-Private)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,125 reviews · 10 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $134

This 10.5-hour trip from Dubrovnik visits Kravice Waterfalls and Mostar in a group of up to eight. Your driver-guide handles the route and border crossing, shares local context, and gives you free time for a swim, lunch, and a walk through Mostar’s old town. Bring your passport, cash, sturdy shoes, and a towel if you plan to swim.

“Definitely worth doing in a small group. Our driver guide - Disco! - gave us lots of information about the history of former Yugoslavia. The waterfalls are at a beautiful location. It's a steep downhill walk to get to them. You have the option of a quick dip (if you've packed a swimsuit!), or a refreshment once there. I was a little underwhelmed by Mostar itself. Our guide recommended a lunch spot, which was really nice with a lovely view from the terrace - but the touristy centre is pretty much one, narrow, cobbled street with tourist tat shops on either side. Once you've walked the length of it and…”

14.3 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.”
