Wow, what an amazing 10/10 experience with Paulo. Paulo arranged for a private pickup from our Airbnb and immediately made the six of us feel welcome and comfortable on our boat tour. We had a cloudy day, but that did not stop us! Paulo showed us to different islands, arranged for a local lovely lunch for our group, and shared history and knowledge of Dubrovnik and the local islands. If you come to Dubrovnik, a boat tour with Paulo is a must do, it was the highlight of our trip!
Brilliant communication before our trip, and very smooth logistics. Paulo was a perfect balance of fun, suggestions and it transpires, had a deep knowledge of the history of Croatia - if you ask! Our group of four had a stunning trip. The boat was in great condition; there were towels, drinks, facemasks for swimming and a go-pro camera we could use. Paulo recommended a wonderful restaurant on Lopud. The boat trip was the highlight of our holiday - thank you!
Dear Sophie, Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed the experience, and we'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Paulo and the team. Kind regards Antonija
We had a great captain, Ivan. He explained everything very clear. The boot and and the sup were great. The places he took us were beautifull. Nice swimming and lunch on a beach. We really enjoyed the relaxing day.
Daer Lukas, Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear you had a relaxing day with Ivan and enjoyed the boat, SUP, beautiful spots, and beach lunch. Hope to welcome you again in the future. Kind regards Antonija
This was the highlight of our stay in Dubrovnik. Ante was a very knowledgeable and friendly skipper, and the company was very easy to work with when we had to reschedule because of weather. Would highly recommend and both our kids had an amazing day!
Dear Matt, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that Ante and the team made your Dubrovnik trip a highlight, and that your kids had an amazing day. We really appreciate your recommendation. Kind regards Antonija

Dear Jennifer, Thank you for choosing ToDo Dubrovnik for your daily trip. We’re delighted you had a fantastic experience and enjoyed the local skipper’s knowledge and friendliness. Kind regards Antonija
Paulo was an incredible host and guide. We were able to see all of the islands, snorkel in the blue cave and have a delicious meal of fresh fish on the island where he grew up. The activities were customizable and at each stop Paulo shared interesting history. Paulo’s boat comfortably accommodated our family of 5. We highly recommend!
The trip was amazing, we saw caves and riffs on the islands, snorkeled, had very funny experience driving the speed boat and learned a lot from our skipper about the history and culture of Dubrovnik. We definitely would do it again and recommend it to everybody.
We had the most amazing day with Paolo. After booking, they communicated with us about optional add ons and pick up place/time. The boat is comfortable and perfect size for a cruising small group or couple! We were picked up promptly for a 9am start and even though it was a bit cloudy, Paolo made sure to personalize the tour to our wishes. We stopped at all three inhabited Elephiti islands. The first which had a small path to the other side with amazing views and cliffs into the ocean; the second which had sandy beaches, a monastery, and an arboretum, and charming town. We swam at the beach there, and then continued to the third island where Paolo grew up! We had an incredible lunch of fresh red snapper grilled and homemade EVOO, fresh veggies, their homemade spirit (akin to grappa) and house wine. We then walked around a bit, tried more of the local flavors, and finished at the blue cave. It was unfortunately too cloudy for us to get the full blue cave experience, but the water was warm and felt amazing. They provided snorkels for us. We also had some water and beers while on the boat. Paolo was amazing. He provided so much information about both Croatia at large and Dubrovnik and the islands culture, as well as a great perspective on modern life and everyday issues facing the community now. We would 100% do this again and it was one of our favorite activities for our two week stay in Croatia.
My family and I had an amazing experience with Paulo. He is an amazing person and an amazing tour guide, who gave us so much flexibility in making the tour completely customizable for what we wanted to do. We never imagined that we would have been able to see and do so much during the day - from swimming in the Blue Cave to seeing 3 different islands! Paulo wanted us to enjoy our time to the fullest and let us take as much time as we wanted at each stop, he told us not to worry about the time :). We also were able to learn so much about the history of this beautiful country. We highly recommend that you take this tour and will personally be recommending Paulo to all of our friends who are visiting Croatia.
Dear, Thank you for choosing ToDo Dubrovnik for your boat excursion. Our main goal is to offer our guest unforgetable sea day. Hope to see you again. Kind regards Antonija
