★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 8,823 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $78Our pick

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…”
