Amazing experience!

We had a wonderful private boat tour in Dubrovnik! We visited some of the most scenic islands and all the ports of call were amazing. The guides were very knowledgeable and made the day special. If you are visiting Dubrovnik, we highly recommend it!

Paulo is the best!

My girlfriend and I signed up for a private boat tour with Paulo to Mljet island. Paulo, our skipper, is a local, and he recommended based on very windy weather that we change our itinerary. As a result, we skipped a very rough sea day and had a blast with his alternative recommendation. The boat was comfortable and fast, and Paulo was very knowledgeable about the area. Brought us fresh hand-picked fruits and his wine was incredible. He also had a very high-quality drone and got some unexpected photos of us on paddleboards. He had great recommendations when we weren’t sure what to do next. Highlight of our trip!

My favorite experience in Dubrovnik

This boat tour was so much fun!! It was the perfect mix of relaxing and sightseeing. We went to each one of the Elafiti Islands, and every island was cute, quiet, and unique in its own way. Palo was such a great guide and told us so much about Dubrovnik, which was especially helpful since we had just landed. We stopped for lunch at a lovely spot, at one of the islands and the risotto was amazing. Palo gave us as much time as we wanted at each stop and was incredibly personable throughout the day. He also took some amazing drone shots for us! 11/10 recommendation for anyone looking for a private tour in Dubrovnik.

Beautiful trip

My friends and I took an excursion with ToDo Dubrovnik around the islands near Dubrovnik. We had a wonderful time and since the skipper was from one of the islands himself, it was a very unique experience. The islands had simple charm and the water was clear and brilliant. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who wants to get out of the city and experience the surrounding islands.

Operator response

Daer Kristina, Thank you for choosing ToDo Dubrovnik to be your host in exploring Dubrovnik and near by islands. It was a pleasure to have you on board and looking forward to meet you again in the near future. Kind regards Antonija

We started in a little town with a small hike and then we visited two caves on the boat and cliff jumped!

Honestly could not think of a better way to spend a day in Croatia! The skippers were amazing and the views ever better. Definitely a 10/10 experience!!

Dear Olivia, Thank you for your beautiful words. We are delighted you had great experience on board and that we were able to make Croatia worth of visit. Kind regards Antonija

Perfect private day trip to the Elaphiti Islands - charming places, great host, excellent!

I have travelled to Dubrovnik many times, as I work on small cruise ships. However, we would tend to do the 'regular' Dubrovnik city tours (Rector's Palace, City Walls, etc). For my birthday I wanted to do something different, and I was put in touch with Paulo. He also works on small cruise ships for some of the year, and he was the perfect host. Offered interesting information when it was appropriate, but never too much. Excellent balance. We worked out what would be the best order to do things in, taking account of the weather, and it worked a treat. Great communication beforehand and during the tour. Visited caves with the boat, and via swimming into them. Drinks, towels, snorkelling equipment all provided. Boat had good shade. He judged very quickly what our interests would be and tailored the day trip perfectly. At the end, he even offered to drop us off in the old town as it was closer to our accommodation. Nothing was too much trouble and it really was a perfect day.
