Luana and the fantastic crew gave us 8hrs of cruising around 3 stunning islands. Everything ran on time, the lunch was tasty (far exceeded our expectations) tastiest chicken with herbs ever! Good selection of drinks & plenty of grappa for those brave enough 🤣 honestly this crew worked so hard and gave us all a fantastic day. The boat it myself & toilets were very clean & well equipped. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting a great day out exploring the beautiful islands, fantastic value and super efficient pick up & transfer back service, very punctual. Greatest value for money trip

Excellent trip. The crew were friendly and Ivana gave clear information about what was on each island and the time to return to the boat. We particularly enjoyed Lopud island which was great for swimming. The included lunch was very good and plenty of it, simple but it hit the spot . We both had chicken & the other couple on our table chose the fish and were very complimentary about it. There was also a vegetarian option. At each stage of the journey we were offered soft drinks or wine, which were included. There was music playing but it wasn't too loud for conversation. I would say it was mainly family groups and couples on board so definitely not a party boat. We had pick up and drop off at our hotel too, and I would say it was great value for the price we paid (about £77 GBP for both of us, June 22) Would recommend!

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.

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!

Lovely day out! Collected from our hotel and taken to the harbour. Boat team were great and Emily looked after us all day. Wine and homemade Grappa flowed freely. First Island visit was 3 hours long and stunning.. you need some local cash (20kn pp each way) if you want don't want the 25 min walk across the island to enjoy the beach! On return, lunch was served on the boat - our fish was lovely! The 2nd and 3rd island visits both lasted c 45mins/ 1 hour and was perfect for a quick explore. Music played (with plenty of singing) and the wine/Grappa continued to flow all the way back to port to collect our return pickup to the hotel.
Overall a great day and super value for money - well worth booking!

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!)

We showed up to be picked up from the hotel about 30 minutes early as the confirmation stressed we MUST arrive on time; however, our van to pick us up was 15 minutes late as we were rushed to the harbor to board the boat. After our original booked boat became too full, we were shoved into a different, smaller, and still overbooked boat with no table for our party, despite the clear expectations from the photos from management that each party would have a table. Luckily, we had a back rest, while other participants had to sit on a center console somewhat like a wooden ottoman. Since our original boat was overbooked, we thought that the tour operators were moving us to another one of their boats; however, upon further inspection, we noticed our operators put us on a boat belonging to “Katrina Cruise Elafiti Island,” an entirely separate tour operator (you can look them up on Trip Advisor). Our assumption is these tour operators that operate these similar Island Hopping experiences work together to handle overbooked boats. It’s a shame though that our party was one of the few chosen to lose our spot to what is typically a wonderful experience (as evidenced by the 5 stars and 660 reviews for Dubrovnik Islands Tour).
Additionally, when offered beverages, we noticed the bottled water was refilled with tap water. We noticed the water bottle cap did not match the water bottle ring, and the cap did not crack upon opening.
Additionally, our tour operators did not give us the lunch as advertised. We expected lunch on the boat and on tables, instead they led us on a 10-15 minute hike to a random house on one of the islands and we had dinner family style on a long table amongst the 50 or so guests. The tour operator did play the accordion for us though which was a pleasant way to end our dinner, honestly.
The food was also different from advertised and had flies swarming around it constantly which wasn’t very palatable. There weren’t flies hovering around us on the boat, so I’m sure this problem could have been averted had we had our food served as advertised. We saw all the other boats that we were deferred from still had this experience. They had beautifully set tables and the crews were preparing their meals fresh in the harbor, using the grills attached to the ships. Instead, we went to a random home owned by the tour operator, far from the beautiful scenery our counterparts had on their boats.
After lunch, we departed to the last island. All in all, all of the islands were very beautiful and we did enjoy visiting them; however, as this is a common experience offered amongst Dubrovnik tour operators, I personally would not choose this operator if I had a do-over.

We went on a full day boat cruise to 3 different islands. There was the opportunity to swim at each island or go seightseeing . The boat and the crew is great, super friendly and nice. Good music is playing in the speakers and people are happy. The lunch was great, we had 3 options. Vegetarian, meat or fish. We choose the fish and it was super tasteful. There is free soft drinks and water, and after the first island visit we got lunch and then white wine and local alcohol came at the table. Everyone was punctual and we left the islands at time, all in all it was worth the money and a great trip. I would go again ;-)

Wonderful day island hopping! The hotel pickup was easy and they communicated the day before where and when we should be ready for the pickup via WhatsApp. Staff was always nice and outgoing. The boat was in very good condition and they played nice music throughout our journey. The islands themselves were great. We opted to walk to the beach on the first island instead of taking a golf cart for €, the walk took about 15 minutes and was easy enough for us in sandals and flip flops.
The lunch was generous and delicious. We tried the fish and chicken dish, both were excellent. The large bottle of wine with the meal was a very nice touch. They even allowed us to try a local drink as well which my boyfriend very much enjoyed haha.
You will never find yourself thirsty or uncomfortable. The staff is extremely attentive and creates a friendly atmosphere with drinks constantly flowing.
Tip: Bring water shoes. They may be ugly but you will have a much better time at the beaches and while swimming.
I would recommend this tour to friends & family in a heartbeat.

Very beautiful trip w excellent staff. However when we came to Lopud and visited the famous beach we had too little time plus we had to pay 150 Kuna for a sun bed and umbrella. Tjat should be included in the price. We only had time for one hour at the beach. Three hours would have been more sufficient.
The tour leader was very professional and funny😄☀️

The stop overs are off limited time but you could do snorkeling on the first stop. But to be honest the snorkeling is not that good. No where to hire equipment but it's cheap to buy
