Review of Dubrovnik’s Elaphite Islands cruise, with Lopud, Sipan, Kolocep, lunch, drinks, swimming, pickup details, and value advice.

“Amazing experience! Sat on the top deck with my family (group of 6) & had the best time with Emily as our guide! Started the morning off with some traditional shots & made our way through the beautiful islands. The open bar (white wine & local liquor) was just enough to keep the party going & the lunch was more than enough food! We had an amazing time & will recommend to all my friends & family visiting Dubrovnik!”

Review of Dubrovnik’s Elaphiti Islands cruise, with lunch, wine, hotel pickup, island stops, costs, timing, and practical booking advice.

“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…”

“Pick up was on time and for the most part, the cruise was lovely. The highlight was Lopud and I could easily have spent more time there instead a rushed visit to the other two rather boring islands. On the downside, the captain was a grump and some of us did not get the requested lunch as they ran out.”
