Choose a private Elaphiti Islands (also called the Elaphites) full-day boat tour (8 hours) to soak in even more sun, sea, and adventure. Your trip begins with a pick-up at your preferred location. Enjoy speeding along the coastline in one of our 23-foot speed boats, or ask for a more relaxed pace as you head toward your island destination. Experience the treasures of this unmatched archipelago your way!
Your friendly skipper will adjust the cruising speed of your Elaphiti Islands boat tour according to your preferences and adjust your itinerary however you’d like.
Let’s explore this stunning archipelago just off the coast of Dubrovnik — a favourite getaway for locals! With pristine waters perfect for snorkelling and centuries of history worth exploring, the Elaphiti Islands are an idyllic day trip on a Dubrovnik holiday.
During your tour, we will visit three of these islands. The full-day itinerary gives you more time to explore and relax than some of our shorter Dubrovnik boat tours, such as the Elaphiti Islands Half-day Tour by Boat with Blue Cave Visit. You might also love our Dubrovnik sunset boat tour! Spend the waning hours of the day on your own private boat, cruising along the Adriatic, sipping local wine, and basking in the beauty of the golden hour.
Of course, all our tours are private and fully customizable, so please contact us with any special requests!
Lokrum Island in Croatia is a truly enchanting destination that should be on every traveler’s bucket list. With its rich history, lush botanical gardens, stunning natural beauty, and breathtaking views, it is a perfect blend of culture, history, and nature that promises to create an unforgettable experience. This wonderful island is the first we encounter on our Elaphiti Islands full-day boat tour.
Fisherman’s Cave is situated in the eastern part of Lokrum Island. It will be the first stop on our visit. The cave is shallow, but the rocks surrounding it are over 20 meters high. We will enter this unique cave by boat. The most exciting part about this cave is that you can see layers of the earth being formed – an extraordinary sight.
After exploring the cave, you can enjoy thrilling cliff jumping at the cave entrance, where the water is deep enough!
The second stop on this Elaphiti Islands tour takes us to the island of Koločep.
This charming and enchanting destination promises to leave a lasting impression on all who visit. With its crystal-clear waters, pristine sandy beaches, and traditional architecture, it offers a tranquil escape from the fast-paced world and a chance to soak up the relaxed atmosphere of the Adriatic coast.
Whether you’re looking to lounge on the beach, snorkel in the turquoise waters, or explore the island’s unique history and culture, our tour of Koločep promises to be a truly memorable experience.
On this Dubrovnik snorkeling tour, we will visit one of Koločep’s landmarks; the famous ‘Blue Cave’. This breathtaking cave can only be accessed by swimming — we offer complimentary snorkeling equipment disinfected before and after every tour.
After time spent in the wondrous Blue Cave, we will visit the beautiful caves known as the Three Sisters or the Three Green Caves.
Here you can dive under the rocks, discover a hidden room in between, and take underwater pictures with a GoPro. Fun and adventure are guaranteed!
The Island of Authentic Summer Feel
Our next destination is Lopud, an island famous for having one of the best sandy beaches in the Dubrovnik area, called Šunj. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to fully experience a hot, idle summer day on the Adriatic Sea. You can choose to stay on the speedboat and get a tan, enjoy complimentary drinks like a variety of local wines, beers, and sodas, or go ashore and explore the island at your leisure.
During our Elaphiti Islands tour, you can freely explore the island. We can also enjoy a fun visit to the village to see even more! You can visit the Dominican and Franciscan monasteries, Đorđić-Mayneri Park, remarkable small churches, and much more. Or, enjoy more time in the water, snorkeling, and swimming!
If you wish, we can also arrange a light lunch at one of the restaurants on the islands.
The island’s motto is “No cars, and no rush” – something you’ll understand after stepping on this idyllic island!
The Island of Fertile Fields
The last island we’ll visit on our private Elaphiti Islands tour is Šipan, the largest and most densely populated of the Elaphites. With its untouched nature, turquoise blue sea, green olive and pine trees, and birds chirping…it is truly a place of serenity.
In a small seaside location called Suđurađ, two Renaissance palaces are owned by the famous ship-owning Skočibuha family. Locals are dedicated to producing homemade and home-grown goods, including wine, olive oil, marmalade, fruits, vegetables, and more. If you wish, we can organize wine and olive oil tasting. Just add it as an add-on on the last part of the booking flow
The Perfect Dubrovnik Snorkeling Trip…
On our way back, we will make a short stop to swim and snorkel around the pebble beaches of the small islet called Sikirica.
By the end of our day together, we hope you’ll make countless beautiful memories and have plenty of stories to take home with you! We want you to rewind and replay these moments for years to come…always fondly remember your experience with us in Dubrovnik.
