        Boat tour to multiple caves and island
        Had amazing time, very beautiful caves and the island was so fun! Our tour guide Frank was so helpful and made sure everyone had a great experience. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quick way to explore Croatia, but make sure to bring a jacket and a towel if you want to swim.

        Golden Choice
        This trip was something me and my newlywed wife did not plan initially when we came to Croatia (in the offseason of November). However, at the last minute, we decided to do this tour and it was the best decision we made. Our guide, Franco, was an absolutely amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming. He showed us the most amazing spots to visit and we highly recommend having him as your tour guide and this tour as your choice in Dubrovnik.

        Frank was awesome! He was a super steady skipper and made sure to tell us all about the history of where we were. Definitely recommend going on this tour (no matter what your weather app says).

        A must if you're round Dubrovnik
        This tour of the islands was recommended by our hotel concierge. We were welcomed on board by Emili who was our hostess for the day. Her English was excellent. We visited 3 islands and she gave a commentary on each before we arrived. There was time to visit each and the jewel in the crown was the third one with a beautiful beach where we spent a wonderful few hours. Throughout the trip a choice of drinks were served and these were complimentary. The lunch (included in price) was served on the boat and was delicious. I have done trips like this in other countries before but the boats are often larger and cater for more people. This makes it more impersonal and a lot if delays and queues can form. The fact that this trip catered for around 30-40 people meant that the boat could dock and department easily at each stop. They attentive dedicated crew made it all the more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this trip if you're in Dubrovnik.

        Best thing to do in Dubrovnik!
        Frank was amazing! We booked the tour last minute and it was the best decision we made! He took us around to the stunning caves on the islands of Croatia and took us to a beautiful island. He made sure to stop and allow us to take sunset photos without even asking. We made the most of the November season and I absolutely would book again!

        Frank was the best ever! He took us to every spot and gave us recommendations, took our pictures, and turned the boat around so we could catch the sunset for longer. Definitely the best boat tour I’ve ever been on, highly recommend!

      I am always a little apprehensive about taking these types of excursions. I have had some stinkers in the past. Lateness, being taken to friends shops for the hard sell etc (granted never in Croatia).

      Well, let me tell you. Pick up from the hotel was on time to the minute. Awaiting us was a charming little boat - it was immaculate, super clean and, well, ship shape.

      Our hosts left promptly, and with in minutes was on the microphone for a safety briefing, and a little chat about the trip. Then straight on with the drinks - A range of soft or wine.

      We chugged at a pleasant pace across calm seas and observing the rugged coast dotted with residential properties and hotels. Roads traversed across the slopes leaving wondering where they wend there way.

      The first Island was charming - 150 full time residents so very peaceful. We only had an hour so quick walk and coffee and then away. There are no cars on the island. It is also home to a Tui hotel. If you ever need nothing to do - worth a thought.

      Second island was again another small, more agricultural industrial islands. There are bars, shops and a wine tasting place. Only an hour again so taste quickly.

      Lunch up - we had fish on the bone, potatoes and bread - simple food done very well. This was served with water and or wine.

      Final island - the biggest, by far - 3 hours. Variety of shops, restaurants and bars.
      A 3euro per person buggy will take you to the beach at the other side of the island if you don’t want to walk. Grab yourself a soft drink, beer or cocktail- none of which are cheap.

      We went at the very end of the season, so although it was quiet, some things had closed.

      3 hours zipped past and we were on our way home. Be aware that this operation runs like clockwork- if you’re late, you are swimming home or getting a ferry.

      I loved this trip. The hosts could not have done more, the boat (including the toilets) were squeaky clean……..and could I just say again the hosts were amazing……I took this trip with trepidation, but glad I did because it was ace.

      A very nice ride! We ⁇ it a lot. I recommend for those who want to escape a little from the city and know new places, went to know several paradisiacal islands. Very nice crew. Price of drinks on the boat was quite affordable and was provided a lunch that was great. Emile was a great guide and gave us a lot of tips on the tours

      Traveling solo the first week of October and saw this day trip - cost and activities seemed completely reasonable and booked it the day before. Everything was very on time the whole day, which I appreciated. The boat was pretty full; I had heard from a few people that they initially booked for Friday but due to forecasted bad weather the tour called them and offered to either rebook or refund. There were three stops, the first was for an hour. It was a very quiet island, had a beach with actual sand, and was just peaceful. Second island was also an hour and had a small beach, all rocks. Some people did buy wine and olive oil there. The final island was great, large swim areas, a beach with sand, more shops/cafes, a botanical garden, and a walk/cart ride to the other side beach (I didn't make it there). This was a 3 hour stop.

      Lunch was great - I had the fish and it was a big portion, and the crew were constantly replenishing drinks on the voyage. Pulled back into port a little past 4:30 and was pleased with the very full day. Natasha was a wonderful host, amazing explanations of what we would expect on each island, which direction and how far to go, and was so effervescent it made the day wonderful. I would recommend this to anyone traveling here and looking for a day trip!

      6 of us went on this day trip starting with collection from our hotel, the driver was on time and we arrived at the boat in good time. The boat is well looked after and very clean which is great at the end of a 7 month season. The hosts were fun professional and well polished in everything they do, and after visiting the second island a lovely freshly prepared lunch awaited us with vegetarian dishes fish or chicken available. The onboard complimentary drinks offered a good choice as did the other alcoholic drinks available for a small charge. He journey back was fun with good music and some dancing at the end with a nice party vibe to the end of a lovely day.

      This tour was recommended by a guide of a walking tour we had been on.

      The boat was well laid out, we opted for upstairs and our lovely host Emily greeted us. She was quick to dish out the free drinks (sadly the included alcoholic drinks were not our cup of tea but we had a shot of the local brandy).

      At each stop Emily gave us a brief introduction to the area and some recommendations for what to do when docked which was really useful!

      Kolocep was our first stop and we went for a swim at the beach where we saw some fish! The next stop was sibenik, we had a bit of a wander and a drink looking at the sea.

      Lunch was included, we chose the fish which was nice and flavoursome, although did have bones in it.

      Lopud was our final stop, we went straight to the beach and opted to pay the few euros per person to ride to the beach as it was up and down a bit of a hill (and very warm weather). Then had a wander around the seafront and an ice cream.

      Overall we had a lovely time and would recommend the tour! Emily was a lovely, friendly, informative host :)

      The entire day was planned like clockwork and the itinerary was clearly communicated and stuck to.
      We visited Dubrovnik at the end of the busy tourist season. I had looked at the island tours online but hesitated in booking as I wanted to see the weather closer to our visit.

      I ended up booking the tour in person at one of the pop up tour kiosks.

      We were waited on with refreshments from the onset of the trip. We had a great time watching the coast go by and spend time as a family.

      The islands were beautiful and there was even an opportunity to do some wine tasting on the second island.

      The tour allows you to do as much or as little as you like during the allocated time in each island. I was wandering if 3 hours was too long on the third island but I felt I could have stayed longer or in hindsight not gone to the other side on the beach.

      Lunch was simple tasty food that was just delicious and filling to us.

      The boat is comfortable, exceptionally clean all over especially the toilets.

      The staff are friendly and attentive, our hostess most certainly added a lot to the trip and was amazing!!! She is a real asset to the company.

      Based on this tour I would gladly look at the other tours they offer with confidence

      Our group of four decided to do this tour to see some of the islands in Croatia. I’m so glad we did! The staff took wonderful care of us, the food was good, and the islands were beautiful! One tip that I wish we would’ve known in advance is that if you’d like to go snorkeling (which I would highly recommend), bring your own mask. You can buy them on the islands during the tour but they’re very expensive.

      The weather was not on our side because it rained when we took the excursion but I still recommend this excursion because the crew was great, took great care and set the mood (especially on the way back). The little problem: the comments in English from the guide, who spoke very quickly (I have very basic English, fortunately there were several of us to understand everything :)) and which deserve to be expanded a little for my taste (fortunately that we had the backpacker's guide). But it's just a small hiccup - otherwise it was a great excursion to discover the islands - hoping that the weather is nicer than for us :)

      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.

      Beautiful trip- went as family of 4. Such a perfect day, lunch was lovely and massive also!!! Drinks were free flowing all day. Islands were all idyllic- particularly enjoyed the last one lopud as was a little less rushed but was the one you would want to spend longer on- prob worth spending the €3 each to get the golf buggy to the beach on the far side of the island as it’s lovely and shallow but quite a trek in the heat and hilly. Def recommend doing this if you’re in Dubrovnik- great crew thanks guys especially Emilia (same name as the boat) who was the perfect hostess
