From one of the kiosks selling tours at the harbour, we decided to go to these islands -- chartered by Adrian tour boat. (Though you don't see that on their signs.) It seemed a little bit unplanned, and they ran late and got us to the first island by speedboat, which we weren't told and the itinerary was different than... More

Well worth the trip - three little islands each with their own character and time to sunbathe/swim at the end. We took the boat trip and had the fish picnic which was excellent. Like most of this area the beaches are pebbles not sand so take footwear you can paddle in! Some tour operators were offering a discount if you... More

The 3 islands have a totally different feel from Dubro. The views of the island and the mainland from a boat are worth the time and price. Lopud has Sunj beach which is very quiet, a nice walk across the island, and small eateries. I took a tour (250 kuna ) from the old town harbour. Sale staff quite good,... More

These islands are beautiful but I wouldn't recommend making the trip in inclement weather. We travelled to Kolicep to a specific restaurant only to discover that places were closed due to the weather. Whilst it poured with rain, being from the UK didn't stop us from admiring the views and the lovely little harbour. As the ferries run to a... More

We did the Elafiti Islands boat tour and as long as you approach it as a fun experience and don't want to see too much of the islands themselves, it's a good time. The stops are far too short to do anything than find a bathroom and take a few photos, but the sailing in the Adriatic is beyond gorgeous. More

Only cost £25 each for the day and the grilled fish at lunch was delicious. But unfortunately all the islands were just a bit boring. Not enough time to really explore and so little to see. More

At the marina you will see several stalls selling boat trips. We opted for a cruise of the Eliphite islands,Kolocep,Sipan and Lopud (3 Islands). We had seen an old boat pass the hotel the day before it looked a little more authentic than the others although not a Karraca. We booked with Niro (great patter) 'coal to Newcastle' rings a... More

Joined a good boat trip which was excellent value - lunch included - but unless you want a sore head then avoid too much of the local wine which you may be offered on board! Islands interesting and you can swim. Good to get out of Dubrovnik in heat of the day, epsecially if cruise liners coming in to disgorge... More
