Croatia · CRUISES & BOAT TOURS
Speedboat, catamaran or wooden gulet: the hull decides the day. These 15 trips are compared on how far out they get, how many stops they fit in and how long you sit in the sun, with prices from every major harbour.
Krka Waterfalls from Split with a Skradin boat cruise, guided Skradinski Buk, and Primošten beach time. Great value at $31.
“Needs to have a bit more time at the beach. Other than the really great trip”
Small-group boat tour from Dubrovnik for Blue Cave swimming, secret Kolocep caves, and Lopud’s Sunj Beach, with included drinks.
“Anthony was both fun and professional. I would highly recommend this tour to others. The group was fantastic too!”
Cruise the Elaphite Islands from Dubrovnik with included lunch and drinks, plus swim time at Lopud, Sipan, and Kolocep.
“This was a great day trip! It was very well organised with easy pick up and drop off. Everything ran on time, the food was delicious (I’m vegetarian), and the lady looking after us (Emily) was very kind and had great energy. I am travelling solo and made friends with a group of fellow travellers on the boat who I shared the day with. Even if I didn’t have the luck of meeting this group it would have been a relaxed day visiting some beautiful islands.”
Cruise the Elaphiti Islands from Dubrovnik on the Regina Maris, with lunch, local wine, and hotel pickup. Kolocep, Sipan, Lopud.
“The tour was very well organized and well described in the offering - we got exactly what was offered. The boat is really comfortable, esp. as we were maybe at 60% of capacity, so we had plenty of room to move around. Lunch was indeed very good - as I had read in the reviews; the fish was fresh, and it came with a shared bottle (or 2) of good wine. The crew was very up and polite, happy to take care of us. And finally, the 3 islands are real gems, pretty, laid back, good beaches - loved them! Beware: they stay on time; if they say "we leave…”
Cruise from Split to Ciovo, Blue Lagoon, and Maslinica with swims, snorkel stops, and a lunch plus wine on board.
“Maybe it could be better with better weather. We were not lucky. They boarded too many people, it felt too congested”
A 6-hour Split party boat with Blue Lagoon swim, live DJs, welcome shot, free photos, onboard card payments, and priority club entry.
“This was the best day ever!!! The welcome shot was delicious and the dj played great tunes all day long. Swim stop was refreshing and there was a floatie too! Loved the free shots and the staff were the best. Would recommend to everyone!”
Cruise to Lopud, Šipan, and Koločep from Dubrovnik. Croatian wine, beach time, and optional onboard lunch on the RITA boat.
“Friendly attentive crew. Looked after us well. Great trip to lovely islands. Would recommend. Very good value for money.”
Air-conditioned Split bus to Krka’s biggest falls, a scenic boat cruise, and free time to swim and explore Skradin.
“Ivana was the perfect guide.: friendly, knowledgeable, fun. The falls ages incredible. Try the Stradin cake!”
A long, scenic Montenegro day trip from Dubrovnik, with a boat cruise through Kotor Bay, plus guided Kotor and Perast.
“It was good plus the weather was sunny. However, there was a wedding going on so we cannot go inside the church. Plus there is only a likited time. But anyways, its all good :)”
Split to Krka National Park by air-conditioned bus, then waterfalls, Jaruga power plant, boat to Skradin, and beach swimming.
“We had Ella as our guide for our trip to Krka. She was a fantastic guide throughout the whole day. Gave clear instructions on meeting points and times via the WhatsApp group, with suggestions on where to go ect.Any questions we had she was happy to answer. We had a brilliant day out as a family. Thank you very much Ella”
Spend a full day driving from Dubrovnik into Montenegro, with stops in Perast and Kotor, plus optional Our Lady of the Rocks by boat.
“Negative part: I booked option including Perast, Kotor and Budva, but driver/guide only took us 6 people to Perast, Kotor, without visiting Budva (shows 2hours in itinerary). The driver/guide said that he was told only including two places, no Budva, so clearly something within organizing went wrong. It was disappointing. Positive part: visited in January, not crowded, very peaceful, both Perast and Kotor are beautiful. Kotor has 3 hours, if weather and fitness allow, you can climb up Kotor fortress for nice views, normally with entry fee 15 Euro, but during my visit in January, no fee applied. Pick up was arranged in advance via WhatsApp, good communication.”
Party on a Split boat with DJs, a Blue Lagoon swim, and wristband perks that can get you into Olife Beach Club and a top club.
“Come with 35 of my friends and had an absolute blast. The staff are so personable. With beautiful views and a slide in the blue lagoon! Must do 10/10”
Small-group speedboat from Dubrovnik to Blue and Green Caves and Šunj Beach on Lopud, with snorkel gear and drinks. About 4 hours.
“Great tour, small group/boat, included drinks, snorkelling gear and pool noodles, would recommend to anyone”
Split to the Blue Lagoon by boat with three swimming stops, lunch and drinks included, plus time to explore Šolta and Maslinica.
“The day was really well organized by Nana and the crew. We were told what was happening and when at regular updates, as well as good music and vibes for the whole trip. We were given breakfast (doughnut type things) lunch (choice of burgers) and drinks (including free wine!) throughout. The locations were amazing - the most beautiful sea waters we've ever seen and the shipwreck is stunning. A really unique opportunity to be able to see it so closely. It was so fun to see all the fish and wildlife too. There were googles, floating rings and paddle boards to borrow which was great for relaxing. There was enough…”
Speedboat swim stops in Dubrovnik’s Elaphiti Islands, with Three Green Caves, Blue Cave, Šunj Beach, and included drinks.
“Anthony as an incredible skipper and took great care of us! The Blue Caves are incredible and loves exploring them. Only caution I would give is if the seas are rough make sure to sit in the back of the boat.”
Boats, waterfalls, walls and wine — and the best of each.
