Dubrovnik · NATIONAL PARKS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 4 national park trips worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Mljet National Park and 3 islands by fast RIB from Dubrovnik. Snorkel Odysseus Cave, bike the lakes, and swim in blue caves.
“An action packed day on the fast boat touring through numerous beautiful islands. The boat captains were very kind and attentive.”
Speedboat day from Dubrovnik to Mljet National Park for lake views, St Mary monastery, snorkeling gear, and island stops at Prapratno and Lopud.
“The island itself is beautiful and worth seeing. The tour itself is somewhat advertised falsely as an E-bike tour when the bikes themselves are not included in the tour price (35 EUR per person). The boat that takes you out to the island is a large banana boat with uncomfortable seats and the ride takes close to 2 hours one way. The tour also says it includes drinks but we weren’t offered a drink at any time. So the tour price basically paid for an uncomfortable boat ride.”
Yacht trip from Korčula to Mljet National Park with entry fees, snorkeling and SUP, a 3-course lunch, and easy hotel pickup.
“Zoran treated us to a beautiful day exploring Mjet - through the national park and then into a private cove for a wonderful lunch. Highly recommend!”
Private Mercedes trip from Dubrovnik to Krka National Park with hotel pickup, Bacina lakes stop, park guide, and optional Ston seafood.
“It is a 3 1/2 hour drive from Dubrovnik to Krka National Park, through Bosnia and Herzegovina. Once there, you ride a boat across the waterway into the park area, debark and then walk the trails to see myriades of waterfalls. We were there during a massive heat wave and, since it had not rained in a very long time, the decrease in the water levels was quite evident, but still spectacular. I recommend bringing a bathing suit because you can swim in many parts of the park where the waterfalls are. It was very crowded June, July and August are always that way, they told us, with thousands of…”
Every kind of Dubrovnik day, and the pick of each.
