      A great tour
      The whole family enjoyed the half day tour. We read the previous reviews and were convinced by the excellent reviews of the company. The trip was even better than we expected and our skipper Ivan was fantastic. He is full of local knowledge and we really enjoyed his company! Overall, it was a tour to be remembered. I would highly recommend the tour and Ivan as the skipper!

      Amazing views!
      Amazing experience from start to finish. Our transportation from our accommodations was set up right away after booking. We meet our skipper Ivan at the marina after getting dropped off my Matt. Ivan was our amazing skipper, super friendly, knowledgeable and had some great conversations with him. Our 6 hour ride was breath taking, Ivan took us to amazing swimming locations, went to the nearby islands to explore and the views spectacular. Ivan set us up with a nice lunch spot on the island, right near the water. A must do experience when visiting Dubrovnik, and make sure to do it with explore Dubrovnik.

      Amazing trip with Ivan
      We had an amazing day. My kids said it was the best trip ever been on. The boat was brilliant, great for 5 people with a little sundeck upfront. As part of our package, we got a paddleboard too, which was a great addition. We stopped a loads of places for a swim and despite doing lots we never felt rushed and had time to chill on the boat too. Ivan, our skipper for the day, was fantastic. A really nice person, who wanted to ensure our day was perfect. He was great with the kids and even let them pretend to drive the boat at point. 100% worth doing this for the extra money rather than a standard tour. This will love the in memory of my kids forever! Thanks Ivan!

      Amazing tour experience of islands, coves, and caves
      We had an amazing tour experience with Ivan as our skipper. He was a very nice guy and very knowledgeable. The views were amazing and he showed us around some coves and caves as well. He even provided beverages and snorkeling equipment!

      Amazing island tour with a personal touch‼️
      Fantastic day-trip with a friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating tour guide! Zoran was the absolute best. His timing was impeccable, getting our party of four in/out of unique locations throughout the Dalmatian coast. Would absolutely recommend and use him again.

      Best way to spend day in Dubrovnik
      Just finished up for one of the most amazing boat trips we’ve ever done. Zoran picked us up at 10 AM at the dock. We spent the day swimming at the most incredible coves, in caves and at a beautiful Sandy Beach. Had a delicious lunch on one of the islands and explored the little shops. Was a fantastic, super relaxing, fun day. Highly recommend spending the day with him on the water to see Dubrovnik. Great value!!!!

      Great personalized day trip to the islands!
      Excellent excursion with “Explore Dubrovnik” and our skipper Branko. Pick up and drop off from hotel, 8 hours total visiting all the islands and grottos. Book the private tour and you can decide where you want to linger longer and go next! Includes local beer, wine, and other beverages. Highly recommend!

      My family and I had the absolute pleasure of joining Ivan for a magical boat ride, and it was hands down the highlight of our entire trip! From the moment we stepped on board, Ivan's warm and welcoming personality made us feel right at home. He expertly guided us through breathtaking scenery, sharing fascinating stories and local insights along the way. Ivan's attention to detail, his passion for the area, and his genuine kindness made this experience unforgettable. If you're looking for a special and memorable adventure, Ivan is the one to book with. We can't recommend him highly enough!

    We have spent an amazing day on the boat visiting hidden caves and bays. Our skipper Damir was fabulous taking care that we enjoy our time at the best possible way. Tour is organized on the very professional level from booking to the very end. Messaging during the booking was incredibly fast and helpful. We would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to spend amazing day visiting elaphiti islands

    My girlfriend and I were in Dubrovnik for only three days. Neither of us had been there, and we were having trouble finding out the best way to utilize our short time to get the best experience. Going on this tour was hands down the best choice we made! Our tour guide, Ivan, gave us one of the best tours that I have experienced while traveling. He helped us decide what spots to see based on what we wanted : swimming, wine tour, island exploring, and a sunset view. He more than delivered on all of these, and really made our day special. He took us to excellent snorkel spots that were not crowded, which is hard to imagine in Dubrovnik. There were multiple spots where it was just my girlfriend and I, and this was so cool to experience. He also took us to a great spot where we bought local wine and olive oil. We finished off with a sunset and some phenomenal views. I will be booking with Ivan and the team any time I am back here!

    We were booked for the 2pm afternoon alot with Tom, there were four of us and it was a private tour. Matthias picked us up just before outside of Old Town by Pile Gate and was very kind and funny. Then dropped us off at Tom by the Marina by Gruz Market. Tom then took us around all the special spots including for swimming, cave snorkeling, cliff jumping, and finished at Lopud Island town. Lopud Island had some restaurants and you can walk around but we just stayed for an extra drink. Tom had a cooler full of beers that we made a mission to take care of (we also brought extra beers ourselves). Tom was phenomenal with the jokes and was very accommodating when we wanted to extend our trip by an extra hour (to drink more beer and go swimming more). Great experience and highly recommend. Petra was very helpful in communicating details too! Thank you all!

    My husband and I recently celebrated our honeymoon in Croatia this past June (it was incredible). While planning our trip I read on an instagram bloggers page I follow that she highly recommended Explore Dubrovnik's private boat tour to the Elafiti Islands. We are soooo happy we listened and booked the tour with this company. Our skipper Tom was awesome and so easy-going! He conveniently arranged transportation for us via uber to and from the hotel/boat, such a plus so we didn't have any difficulty finding the dock. Tom was very professional, accommodating and considerate-constantly checking-in to see where we would like to go next and making great recommendations along the way. We never felt rushed, it was so relaxing and Tom made sure we had enough time to explore each little village/island/swimming spot. The highlight of our day was we initially booked the tour for 4hrs, but really wanted to do 6hrs so that we could have time for lunch. Tom made it happen and we had an absolutely fantastic and memorable lunch at the luxurious and exclusive Bowa. It was unique and the the views were incredible, such an unbelievable experience, and one of our favorite days of the entire honeymoon. We want to come back, thank you so much!

    Can not recommend this private tour enough! We had an absolutely amazing day and our skipper Damir was so friendly and took us to some beautiful caves, islands, beaches and a restaurant ( even organised for them to sing happy birthday to me). Damir tailored the trip to what we wanted to do and was amazing. Thankyou to explore Dubrovnik and Damir for an fab trip. We will definitely be going on another tour when we return to Dubrovnik!

    This boat tour was unforgettable and Ivan was the best captain. Ivan had cold drinks on hand to help celebrate a birthday. He took us to beautiful swimming holes away from crowds to snorkel, paddle board and swim. Ivan let us play music and even supplied his own awesome playlist when we asked for it.

    If you want to take a tour to see Dubrovnik like a local and have an amazing tour guide like Ivan, I highly recommend!

    We had a wonderful six hour experience with Nika as our skipper! She took us to a cave where we were able to swim, a small island town where we could walk around and go to the beach, a fun beach where we could snorkel, and then to a fabulous lunch restaurant where we had some of the best fish I’ve ever eaten in my life. We are on our honeymoon, so decided to splurge on this day and are so happy that we did so the islands are beautiful and Nika was incredibly kind, welcoming, and informative. This is a must if you can do it! Absolutely loved our experience!

    We did a private boat tour - Mario was our skipper. He showed us nice places and was a very calm and professional skipper. We felt at ease and relaxed. We are not good swimmers, but he created a good atmosphere for us to reach the blue cave by swimming. The procedure was very smooth too - everyone kept their appointment and was on time. Mati, who arranged our booking, was friendly and responded quickly to all our questions. Reliable!

    Very much advised. We will surely visit Dubrovnik again - and check out some more boat tours with them. Hvala!

    It took just three minutes at 8pm to get our trip booked with Matija. I sent a mail to Explore Dubrovnik after our dinner and Mat was able to arrange a boat for 4 of us at 12 the next day for 2 hours. He was spot on time to pick us up at our hotel and bring us to the boat where we met Damir.

    Damir took us to the blue cave where we got to do some swimming. He explained about the local area and history as we cruised between islands. We had a great time chatting with him during the trip and he even taught us some Croatian phrases. Now we know the "proper" way to say "cheese" for our photos.

    This is one of the best value trips in Dubronik. When we come back, we'll be booking a much longer trip with Mat and Damir. They provided everything you could want and are complete gentlemen!
