- J1643PFtylerh00Snorkeling in DubrovnikThe crew was on time and very friendly and informative. The boat was nice and I felt everyone did all they could to insure that we had a good time.
- Casey D00Great time in Dubrovnik.Excellent trip worth every penny!!! Emily was a great hostess. Awesome music that was very enjoyable. We’ll be back for another cruise.
- joey_g200300Floor staff make the tripIt's a good trip, worth more than the money given how expensive Dubrovnik seems to be. Food was nice the islands are worth visiting. Had a lot of fun
- Cruiser1559602180800Island Tour.Great friendly staff. super accommodating. Emily was great. Highly recommend this tour. just be wary of weather...the sea can get rough.
- janicedR2910BK00JaniceThis was one of the best boat trips we have been on RENATA and her staff looked after all the passengers so well the boat was so clean , the food was lovely, drinks alcohol and none alcohol available the whole trip . Renata was very informative on all the 3 island we stopped at the best 55 euros each we spent on a boat trip highly recommend this company as there is so many to choose from 10 out of 10
- Suzanne A00Extraordinary sea guideLuca and team created a uniquely wonderous experience for all onboard! We ended up having a privately curated tour visiting uniquely exciting locations off the usual tourist paths. Thank you, Luca, for taking care of everyone like family. We had the best of times today! Many thanks! Did I mention seeing sea urchins? 😎
- Otilija B00Highly recommendAmazing trip! Crew was nice, food was delicious, views were breathtaking. Special thanks to Emily and Natasha, who made sure that we aren’t lacking anything and everything is great. Thank you!
- Sharonyeh0300Top day out!We hired a small boat and it was a fantastic day on the water. Well organised picked and dropped without any issues. We were staying in Lapad and the drive to Zaton was so beautiful. Boat briefing was great the guys who run it are thoughtful, funny and just great people to deal with. Easy access to the islands and stopped off a few times in remote coves for some amazing snorkeling. On our way back stopped for a beer at a beach bar on Kolocep what better way to the end a brilliant day on the sea. Definitely recommend Dubrovnik island tours.
- VinayC17800Good experienceThe hosts were good , food was fantastic .. just wished for some more time at the beaches and also a bigger boat would have been perfect
- Kmcrabtree73300Yay for Mario! And trip was great overall.The trip overall was great! However, what I’ve learned from experiences in the past is that the “guide” (in this case the “skipper”) can make or break an experience. Our guide was Mario and he was fantastic! He was great at describing each spot and explaining what to do. But even more important, he was fun 😃 He “read his audience” really well and took our trip/experience from great to amazing! I would definitely request him again if I were to come back.
- mlc201800Amazing day out on the waterGreat day out on the water . Captain Marco made sure we were safe and enjoyed every minute of the day. Beautiful surroundings
- M3544TAkatieg00Amazing experienceThe best time! It was great. Snorkeling many times. Fun trip. Free alcohol. Caves. Yeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
- melissagB2213QM00Amazing experience!Amazing experience! Two snorkeling excursions & a long experience at an amazing beach. 8€ large beers each at beach! Loved having Luca as our guide.
- 620briarr00Great ExperienceThe whole trip was amazing. The caves were absolutely incredible and our guide Marco was great! He was very helpful and super informative. Thanks for a lovely day!
- J3147ECemilyb00NOT the actual “blue caves!”Luca was our guide. Don’t be fooled, this is not a real blue cave tour. You need to find the blue cave tour that drives the boat through the cave. This one takes you to multiple caves you can swim in but is definitely not the “actual” blue caves. It was a fun day but definitely not what we thought we were paying for.

Lots of great reviews of this trip, which is why we chose it, but we found it more of a mixed bag.
Pickup and drop off close to your accommodations was great. Right on time!
We enjoyed the boat and visiting the different islands. The first island is probably the best. There’s a very nice beach right next to the drop off point—a beautiful pebble beach that is part of a hotel. Just ask the staff at the hotel if you can take a dip! Much better than going to the other beaches on the island. Second island was pretty boring ;). Third was a good place to go 🤿 but be careful of the sea urchins! Not a lot of fish either.
The meal was ok (does anyone really get a great meal on a boat cruise?? ;) for the price they charge they could just hand out sandwiches and drinks and their customers would be better served.
Overall, great value here. I really don’t know how they make money off doing it so cheaply.
For those very concerned about covid19, people were pretty cozy on this trip, so if you’re a bit worried about being close to people either don’t book this trip or make sure you wear a mask. They do sanitize your hands every time you board the ship and the hostess (who was very kind!) wears a mask.
One downside was that the music on the boat was too loud. A few passengers asked for the volume to be turned down, which they did for a period of time, only to turn it up again later. Their reasoning was that they wanted to create a “lively atmosphere” on the boat. Well, there’s Nothing wrong with having some music but when you have to yell to have a conversation with someone it’s a bit of a drag. Plus, there’s a lot of older people on the boat and couples with young families—Not good on the ears. A happy medium would have worked well for everyone! I’m not sure that the people that run this operation realize that most people that go on this cruise are not boaters and actually enjoy listening to the ocean and other sounds instead of music we can listen to anytime! 😌
Overall, a good experience and worth doing, but could’ve been better.

Dear Jubbs,
We are happy that you had a great time with us, Im sorry that the music bothered you, this is a tour on which people usually sing along, we understand that you want more privacy and taking it easy listening for waves.
The perfect choice for you would be a private tour on which we can take you, it will provide you with peace and satisfy all your preferences
Since we are in this business for over a decade we got to know our type of guests and the preferences on group tours, we much appreciate your review since it helps us to improve on certain aspects of the tour.
We hope to see you again on a private tour which most definitely you would enjoy more
Best of luck :)

Cannot fault the value for money on this trip. You would definitely end up spending more on food, drink and ferry tickets if travelling to the islands individually. The food was really good and we were offered multiple free drinks.
However, at lunch at the port of Lopud, we were a bit confused. The boat says capacity of 64 but doesn’t tell you this is actually split into 2 boats. We were on the smaller boat that was initially attached to the main boat ‘zrinka’ that we were instructed to board. Naturally, we assumed it would still be linked onto zrinka when we were finding it at Lopud. When we went to zrinka, a guide on it said that there had been a change and it wouldn’t leave for another half hour, so we started waiting however luckily we recognised some people on our boat that was nearby and joined. This quite comprehendible misunderstanding only made us 10 minutes late, and when we tried to explain to the captain he had no time for it and was very angry towards us. The captains on the side boat should make it more clear to not go to find the main boat ‘zrinka’ when re boarding the boat, as at Lopud there was a very similar looking boat that was attached to it.
We were further disappointed with the crew when they shouted ‘you again’, and were clearly about to set off without us when we got on literally 30 seconds late at the last port, when they had been perfectly friendly to others who had got on 5 minutes late and sîpan. It was only me and my boyfriend who are obviously young (only 19) and they showed no friendliness or sympathy towards us, and we just felt awkward after being shouted at in front of the ship. As a young traveller I felt very offended/singled out and felt the need to complain, especially as they were friendly to most other (older) people.
Besides from that I would recommend, just be prepared to be potentially put on a smaller side boat (where the crew might not be so good) and don’t make the same mistake as us at Lopud!

One of the highlights of our holiday in Dubrovnik. We were picked up perfectly on time from our hotel and driven straight to the pier to board the boat. Although we were supposed to be a bigger boat, we were moved to a smaller one just before boarding, however this was fine as we got a seat at the very top of the boat with an excellent view. All you had to do was ask and they refilled your drink, with the option of wine beer water or Pepsi.
For lunch we were brought to the tour operators house on the gorgeous island of Sipan for a sit down meal with local food and drink. This was even better than having lunch on the boat as we got to chat to everyone on the tour properly and have the craic. One of the tour operators played the accordion at the end of dinner.
The islands were all stunning and the tour operators stopped off in the blue caves and provided us with snorkels which we weren’t expecting but was a great surprise
Overall, brilliant tour, brilliant value for money and would 100% recommend.

We took this tour at the end of August 2020 and loved it! First of all, they followed Covid regulations, everything was sparkling clean and disinfected, the staff wore masks and everyone had to disinfect their hands every time we got on board. The staff was incredibly nice, and Sonja is a great tour guide. She told us about each of the islands we visited, and took care of us during the cruise.
The first stop was Lopud island, where we went to Sonj beach. We took some golf carts to get there which cost 15 kn per person (one way). The beach is really nice, it’s super wide, sandy and there are waves. We had 3 hours on the island. After that, we had lunch on the boat while we sailed to the next stop, Sipan island. We chose the fish and it was really good. There’s also unlimited water, fizzy juices and wine on board. We also tasted grapa, a local grape beverage that’s pretty strong (40% alcohol). Sonja was super nice and encouraged us to taste it, as well as regularly checking whether we want to drink anything.
On the second island, Sipan, we had 45 minutes. The beach is 5km away from the port, so we spent the time exploring the nearby area. The island is famous for its olive oil, and we bought some from the locals in the port.
On the third island, Kalamata, we had 1 hour. There’s a nice sandy beach, as well as a rocky one, right in the port, so we spend all the time swimming there. You can also buy local goodies, such as different kinds of jam, olive oil, local sweets and others, from a small stand in the port. There’s an ATM nearby in case you don’t have cash with you.
Overall, we really enjoyed the cruise. The islands are beautiful, the boat is well looked after, the atmosphere is great (we had both local and international music), the staff is very friendly and the food is tasty. We highly recommend it!

Great trip to the islands we were collected from our hotel at 9am and dropped back at 6pm
Boat leaves from Dubrovnik port and drinks available, soft drinks, wine and local brandy
First stop is lopud island fir aprox 2 and half hours. It’s aprox 30 mins walk to sunj beach which is on the opposite side of the islands but there are golf buggy taxis available for 20k pp which I would recommend rather then walking, beach is fabulous on lopud and food and drink available along with sun beds for hire.
Returned to the boat for lunch which was very nice, fish with salad and more drinks
Next stop was sipan for aprox 45 mins, few cafes and local produce available here then on to kolocep for aprox 90 mins, another decent beach here and couple of cafes
Back to the boat for more drinks and back to the harbor where we were driven back to our hotel
Overall a great day out for €37 pp
Highly recommend

Wow what a perfect day. We were picked up from our apartment then dropped back off again. The host Sanya was just lovely, so friendly, giving plenty knowledge of the local area and ensuring everyone was topped up with drinks throughout the day.
The first stop off at Lopud island was beautiful. Worth getting the beach buggy for around £2.50 to a lovely small and pretty beach with clear blue sea and golden sand.
We then had a lovely lunch on board with as much wine as you could drink. We chose the chicken which very tasty and was served with salad and crusty bread.
We then went onto Sipan which was an old fisherman’s port and stayed for approx 45 minutes. It was very pretty and relaxing. Then the final stop was Kolocep island which had a sandy beach where we swam and chilled out for an hour.
Everyone on board seemed to have a great time too as we were all chatting and laughing with each other.
The experience totally outweighed our expectations for the price we paid. We paid around £67 for 2 of us. Sanya went above and beyond her duty. She was amazing at her job and put everyone at ease with her friendly manner and kindness.
This was probably the best day of our holiday so far and can not recommend this trip enough.
Book it, you won’t be disappointed.

Overall it was a lovely your with a friendly crew, all well-timed and organised.
What I missed was the educational element; it was far too few and far between. Our host, Toni, was lovely and was chatting everyone up; he even tolerated condescending remarks made by older Brits. Bottomless drinks is an understatement, and I would advise coming with at least one more bottle of water. The lunch included was decent, it's not a Michelin star restaurant, but it was good and tasted like home.
I would recommend this tour but adjust your expectations, and you'll have a great time.
Now, the reason why four and not five stars were because of COVID precautions, as I felt there could have been done more to distance people. Tour was packed, and having six people per table, having four could be more sensible.

My wife and I spent the day on the boat Emili with ~100+ other people, but the boat never felt overcrowded. On what was a very hot day, a cruise around 3 islands seemed an excellent idea. For less than £50 we were onboard from 9am to after 5:30pm being fed, watered and taken to 3 lovely islands. Soft drinks/water and an excellent lunch (grilled chicken or fish) were all included and on each of the islands there was ample time for a cafe or ice cream break and a refreshing sea swim. The crew are amazing, keeping you hydrated and always looking after you. Boat feels very safe and well maintained and the captain takes great care when approach any small swells or wakes of other boats. It’s a highly recommended day out if you have the time while in Dubrovnik. Thank you to Emily and the rest of the crew.

Overall was a fantastic tour. The staff and captain were all great. The provided lunch was excellent and the hosts did a great job of ensuring everyone got enough to drink throughout the day. There is not much to do at each of the islands besides the wonderful beaches, so I would be prepared to swim/sunbathe/snorkel all day. There are some cafe bars and restaurants, but they only accept cash so I would bring some with you if that is something you’d like to do. Highly recommend this trip, but if you get seasick I would recommend bringing medicine for it 👍🏻

The host Emily was so wonderful! Very friendly and welcoming! And Informative 😊 we were provided with ample amounts of drinks.
The trip was brilliant, the first island had a beautiful beach at the opposite side of the islands with golf boogies to take you there for 20kuna each passenger. Once we explored the island and enjoyed the scenery we went back to the boat where we were served lunch, which was very tasty 😋
The second island had a quant cafe on the marina front to relax at for the hour then finally on to the last island for snorkeling (watch out for the sea urchins, there's a lot of them!)

If we are on a virgin voyages cruise June 14th and VV says docks 9am, is there time to do this excursion? Says begins at 9am.
And do you get picked up at cruise port dock?
Thanks!

Since the weather in Dubrovnik is cloudy or rainy lately, do they still operate at the moment? I'm travelling to Dubrovnik today.

Hi we went October and it was lovely so I cannot see why April would be any different if they run there excursions then it must be ok I think you may just need a cardigan as might be a bit windy on the boat but I would imagine the scenery is still nice when ever you go
