Kolocep, Lopud and Sipan sit an hour offshore and two of the three have no cars on them. The 15 cruises below are compared on how long you get on each island, whether lunch is cooked aboard, what the drinks really cost, and which boats are small enough to tie up at the quiet quays.

Cruise the Elafiti Islands from Dubrovnik with hotel pickup, a simple onboard lunch, unlimited drinks, and free time on Koločep, Lopud, and Šipan.
“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.”
Half-day catamaran from Dubrovnik to the Blue Cave and Elaphiti Islands, with snorkeling gear and Šunj Beach sand time.
“This was a horrible experience. Every other boat offered people life jackets or floaties to get to the blue cave. Mine didn’t say anything. There were so many boats so many swells. I almost drowned. Another boat saved me. Then when I transferred to my boat, the captain told me I couldn’t swim so I should’ve known to ask for a life jacket. I can swim. This is not like swimming in a pool or even the regular ocean.”
Elaphite Islands day trip from Dubrovnik with hotel pickup, boat cruise, lunch onboard, and swim time on Kolocep, Sipan, and Lopud.
“Chose this trip based on recommendation from a friend and had a fantastic time. The crew were friendly and attentive, keeping us on schedule and helping us enjoy our day. Easy transport from a hotel near us to and from the port. Delicious chicken lunch, wine wasn't the best ever but it didn't take away from the trip. Visited beaches at each island and the views were absolutely gorgeous. Would definitely recommend as a way to spend the day and see the beautiful islands near Dubrovnik.”

Boris, was very helpful and great giving us suggestions and the islands and what to do on them. The captain even let me steer the boat which was fun. Boris told me they always have 20-25 people max which makes it fun adn more personal ( We saw another boat that was double-decker style and looled like everyone was crammed lile sardines.
