Go for it!

We had a wonderful day and tour! It was a bit cool in the morning so we stopped at two islands and explored. Then when it warmed up we went out and explored the caves. They were amazing and we'll work the plunge into the cool water. Would go again!

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time for writing this review. We are glad the weather was on your side 😀 and had a chance to explore islands and caves. You are more then welcome to visit us again.

Amazing day on the water!

We had an amazing experience with Skipper Ivan Dugandzic. Ivan was absolutely wonderful. He took us to his favorite swimming hole, showed us the beautiful coast and was very educated on the area and people of Croatia. We will recommend Skipper Ivan and Explore Dubrovnik to friends that will be heading that way this summer. 10/10 experience!

Operator response

Dear Jennifer, thank you so much for taking you time for this review and for such a great words. Ivan will be very happy to hear this. We will be waiting for your friends, to take them on tour. Explore Dubrovnik team

Great boat tour around Dubrovnik hosted by Ivan!

My fiancee and I did a 4 hour boat tour with Ivan during our stay in Dubrovnik and have talked about it being the highlight of our trip! Ivan knew great spots to take us to explore with some areas being private without any other boats or people. We enjoyed snorkeling, exploring caves and Lopud Island during our adventure. Ivan was a great host and conversationalist throughout our time together, we truly loved our trip! Memories we’ll have forever.

Honeymoon boat cruise!

Amazing! My wife and I chose Explore Dubrovnik to visit many of the islands around Dubrovnik and they did not disappoint. Matija picked us up from the old town (and dropped us off after) and made the day go very smoothly. Tom the skipper was wonderful and catered to our every request, making a good plan for us throughout the day and recommending great food and activities on the islands. We would love to come back! Highly recommend.
