Koločep, Lopud and Šipan make the easiest good day on the water, and most cruises cover all three. Below are the best Elaphiti island cruises: which include a cooked lunch aboard, which give you longest ashore, and how the traditional wooden boats compare on price and crowd size.
Dubrovnik Elaphite Islands cruise with lunch and drinks. Sail to Lopud, Sipan, and Kolocep for swimming, views, and easy island time.
“Excellent day out a must do. You also get to go on speed boat to caves for extra 20 euros well worth it and for fun.”
Full-day Elaphiti Islands cruise from Dubrovnik with lunch, free local wine and rakija, plus Koločep, Šipan, and Lopud.
“This tour is a wonderful way to see three islands in a day. The boat is clean and the staff are attentive. The vegetarian lunch was minimal and I was glad I had brought a sandwich. The tour allows one hour to explore the first island, 40 minutes for the second island, and two hours for the third island. I was fortunate to take this trip on a sunny 70° day with not a cloud in the sky and a light breeze. I imagine it would not be so nice on a cloudy or rainy day. Both decks on the boat are shaded, which was very comfortable.”
Cruise Dubrovnik’s coastline to the Elaphite Islands of Lopud, Šipan, and Koločep with included drinks and optional lunch plus swim time.
“Great day trip to see more islands. Loved that we spent the most time on Lopud, make sure to visit the sandy beach on the other side of the island. Enjoyed the lunch (grilled fish) as well.”
Small-group speedboat from Dubrovnik to Blue and Green Caves and Šunj Beach on Lopud, with snorkel gear and drinks included.
“This tour operator uses subcontractors as well. I’m fairly sure that if you actually go with the original tour operator it is a quality excursion, however, when we went we got on the second boat with the subcontractor. They ignored one of our party that requested a life jacket, took off in rough/bad weather, the captain was smoking and driving the boat with his knees and going so fast that he was slamming into 14’+ swells. One woman in our group flew up in the air and then landed on her back on the floor in the centre of the boat. The captain wouldn’t even slow down to allow her…”

Dubrovnik Elafiti Islands cruise with hotel pickup, lunch and unlimited drinks. Visit Koločep, Lopud and Šipan plus Suđurađ.
“Wonderful boat trip to visit 3 islands . Only reason I didn’t give it 5* was I felt the timings were out. Would have liked to have spent longer at the first island Donjecelo and not so long in lopud. No toilets in lopud, restaurants ridiculously expensive 138 euros for a fish meal ! Also would have liked to have had the opportunity to jump off the boat at some point - but do appreciate seas were a little rough. Crew and captain very friendly, knowledgeable and let my grand daughters steer the boat 😊. Unlimited drinks and good fish meal , chicken meal or vegitarian meal.”

Sail the Elaphiti Islands on a replica pirate-style ship from Dubrovnik, with guide-led stops, optional tastings, and swimming time.
“This was a last-minute decision on our part as we had one more day in Dubrovnik and felt like we wanted to see some of the surrounding islands. It was very much worth it and was one of our favorite experiences on our trip. Our guide was fantastic - she was thoughtful, took time to speak to us personally and give us suggestions throughout the trip, had excellent knowledge and practical tips on how to spend our time at each island given the gloomy weather etc. The staff on the ship were also helpful. We found this to be one of the most relaxing parts of our trip - even…”

“Such a great day out , beautiful islands I wouldn’t have seen without the tour”
A private speedboat from Dubrovnik to Kolocep and Lopud, with drinks and snorkeling, plus optional Šipan on a full day.
“Marin, our Skipper, was delightful, very knowledgeable, understood (and spoke) English very well and accommodated our desire to see a few more caves and spend less time swimming at every cave or beach which allowed us time to have a light lunch with beer and wine in a beautiful little village over looking the sea and then drop us in OLD TOWN Dubrovnik instead of back at Cruise Port. It made for a PERFECT 4 hour tour and then we spent 2.5 hours strolling OLD Dubrovnik and caught taxi back to Cruise Port (7-8 minute drive) for only 12.00 Euro.”
