Private speedboat tour to the islands
Description
Because there are so many options for boating excursions around Dubrovnik, and because every group has unique interests, our company organizes only personalized, private tours. This means that you choose the length and time of your tour, as well as your destinations and type of activities. You can choose from Half to Full-Day excursions to visit some of our local islands. Croatia has over 1200 Islands, each one more peaceful and beautiful than the last, so it would be a shame to spend your vacation in Dubrovnik without seeing at least a couple of them.

Itinerary
Island Kolocep is around 20 min sailing distance from Dubrovnik. Island is known for it's 2 villages -Gornje Celo and Donje Celo and famous for it's Blue Cave on the south side of the islands. Since the tour is private you can choose how much time we will spend here and what exact activities you wish to do. We suggest stopping at Blue Cave. We will anchor near the cave from where you can swim into the cave. Snorekling masks and go pro camera is provided on the tour. After the cave we will cruise along the beautiful cliffs.
Lopud Island is famous for its sandy beach Sunj. Here you will have the opportunity to enjoy an actual summer day, swim and sunbathe. We also have cold water, beer and soft drinks on the boat for your refreshment. You can choose to stay the whole time on a boat or go ashore and explore the beach. The bonus here is that after the sandy beach, we are heading for a village of Lopud. You can visit the Dominican and Franciscan monastery, Đorđić-Mayneri park, remarkable small churches, and much more.
The last island we’ll visit on our private Elaphite Islands tour is Šipan, the largest and most densely populated among the Elafiti islands. Distinguished by the untouched nature, turquoise blue sea, green olive, and pine trees, discreet birds chirping… Locals are dedicated to the production of home-made goods, such as wine, olive oil, marmalade, fruits, vegetables. Since the entire tour is fully private, stops along the way are tailored to your preferences. All 3 islands offer wonderful hidden bays, secluded beaches and beautiful views of Adriatic Coastline. Your skipper will tailor the tour to your preferences.

really worth going, got to see lots of different places along the islands
Thank you for your review, we are happy to hear you are satisfied with our tour.
Tom was great, he met what we wanted out of the expedition and took us to spots that fit that. He knew the area well, was accommodating, and was an expert at piloting the boat. He also provided refreshments & beer which was great. Highly recommend if you want to explore the water/islands of Dubrovnik!
Thank you for the recommendation of our Private speedboat tour to the islands! We are glad you had such a good time with us!
We had the most amazing time with Ivan!! My husband, 3-year-old daughter and I had such a perfect afternoon. Ivan was thoughtful, considerate, and allowed us to have the most perfect afternoon!! I never had to worry about a single thing on the trip and loved all of the island and swimming stops. Just go on this trip and enjoy it!!
Thank you for this great feedback on our Private speedboat tour to the islands! We are happy you and your family enjoyed our tour!
Would highly recommend this tour! Lovely boat and Tom was very knowledgeable on the history of Croatia and the islands we visited. Caves were amazing. Brilliant way of spending 4 hours touring on a boat.
Thank you for the recommendation of our Private speedboat tour to the islands! We are glad you had a good time with us!
Ivan our captain was AMAZING! His skills and training made us feel safe and relaxed. He is local and knew exactly where to take us. We told him what we wanted to do and told him to “fill in the rest”. We cruised many islands, swam in bays, experienced caves and he recommended the most amazing restaurant on Lopud for lunch. I would not have changed anything about the day!
Rhank you for the great feedback on our Private speedboat tour to the islands! We are glad you had such a nice time with us!
We did the 8 hour trip and it was amazing! Our skipper, Josep, was so nice and brought us to all the beautiful but also less touristy places. He even brought a speaker on board for us. We have been traveling in Europe for two months and this is one of our favorite days yet! Would definitely recommend doing a full day trip because there is so much to see and it’s much more relaxing when you’re not rushed. We also had plenty of time for a nice lunch on one of the islands and afterwards, enjoyed some drinks included on the boat. 100% recommend booking, thanks Josep!
Thank you from this great recommendation of our Private speedboat tour to the islands! Josep will be very happy to hear you had so much fun!
The views were amazing! The tour guide was also really great and made sure we were always having the best time! I would highly recommend!
Thank you for the nice words, happy you had a good time with us!
This was such a fun experience for my friends and I. We loved our tour. It was just us and our Captain, Ivan. He took care of us and got us anything we needed or wanted. Let us swim and showed us around Dubrovnik as well as surrounding areas. It was such a fun day and I would 10000% do it again!
Thank you very much for the great review! We 10000% hope to see you again maybe on some other tour:)
Without a doubt, worth it. Between exploring the Elaphiti islands, swimming in some amazing spots, and ending the day watching the sunset behind the islands, the 8 hours felt like only a few. Our skipper, Tom, made sure that we were well taken care of and was happy to share his insights and recommendations to make sure we got to experience all that we wanted. Thank you Explore Dubrovnik, we were very glad to have met you and have a fantastic day
Thank you for writing this great review. We all are doing our best so our guest can experience the most of the tour. Thank you for choosing us for your tour and hope to see you again.
We had high expectations from the boat tour but this by far exceeded our expectations. Our skipper Tom guided us to the must see places (blue cove), private coves where no other tourist were to explore with a go pro and booked us a table at a fantastic fish restaurant on one of the islands. No trip to Dubrovnik is complete without a tour with explore Dubrovnik - worth every penny.
Thank you for this great review. This means a world to all of us. It's nice when you put a great effort and you exceed all the expectations from guest. Review like yours are proof to us that we are doing a good job.
