Itinerary
At 10 am private skipper will be waiting for you to embark on the speedboat and start this full-day adventure on the sea! First, you'll be riding through the stunning Elaphiti Channel and in about 40 minutes, you'll reach sandy beach Šunj on the island of Lopud. Šunj is one of the rare sandy beaches on our coast, so this is an opportunity to enjoy a bit different views than the ones you've seen so far. You'll spend about an hour on Šunj where you can swim, have drinks or just sunbathe in the beautiful environment.
Your next destination will be the island of Šipan (the biggest one of Elaphiti islands). On your way to Šipan, the skipper will make a short stop in a hidden bay for snorkelling, swimming, or just taking photos as the views are splendid. You can jump off the speedboat into the crystal clear sea or just enjoy the surroundings from the boat. It's up to your preference. After this short but sweet stop, you'll reach 'Luka Šipanska' which is one out of two inhabited places on the whole island. Here you'll have free time for lunch or drinks in a local beach bar! It's beautiful to walk around and discover the island. Enjoy local life for a while, little bays and traditional boats in the port. There are only about 200 people living on the entire island, so this truly is a unique experience.
From Šipan you will continue towards smaller island of Koločep. On your way to Koločep you will stop in Sikirica Bay for swimming. It's hard to locate this bay on the map and that's why it's even more special. You can snorkel there or even use sea scooter! Sikirica has turquoise color of the sea and it makes it even more special to visit! After the break on Sikirica, you'll continue towards Koločep which is nature's oasis, untouched and clean. Less than 150 people live there and during the winter time it's almost empty. Beaches are rocky or pebbly and the color of the sea is incomparable to anything else. On Koločep, you'll visit Blue Cave where you can take some photos as the background is perfect. Here you'll have another opportunity for swimming, sunbathing or snorkeling before your return to Dubrovnik.
Besides Elaphiti Islands, there are a few hidden bays where the skipper also suggests stopping because these bays are definitely worth visiting. They are not easily found on the map which makes it even better. Get ready for a day full of surprisingly beautiful locations on your way to the main location! *Please note that fuel is not included in the price and it is paid at the end of tour. Fuel surcharge is approx. between 150 and 200 euro depending on the boat you choose.*

We had a spectacular day with Nick on our 8 hour tour of the Elaphiti Islands. Nick made our day so memorable, he was a fabulous guide as well as skipper, giving us lots of very informative information. Nick made sure my father - who cannot swim, did not miss out, ensuring he felt safe, comfortable and even guided him into the sea (something we have never been able to achieve) and patiently took him into the cave and all over the beautiful islands on the paddle board. The was immaculate, maintained with a lot of pride. We were made to feel extremely comfortable and constantly offered refreshments. We hope to return to Croatia soon and will not hesitate to rebook this amazing experience. Thank you so much, Nick. We won’t forget you or our wonderful day with you!
Dear Jaya, Thank you for your kind words, we are so glad you enjoyed your trip with us and captain Nick. We would be happy to welcome you abord next year.
This is the second year we have had multiple adventures with Ivan and Blue Mile. Ivan is an exceptionally nice, experienced, thoughtful, considerate skipper who has spoiled us once again. Absolutely amazing with young children and brought us to the most exquisite places. I can’t recommend him and Blue Mile enough
Dear Fiona, Thank you for your kind words, we are so glad to her you enjoyed your trips with us and we hope to welcome you again next year. Best regards, Blue Mile Team
Picked up at 10am from the Sun Gardens Hotel harbour and immediately felt at home - We were given so many choices to try and Ivan out skipper did everything to make the day a success. From visiting several beautiful islands and allowing plenty time in each to get coffees / explore as we wished - sea swimming when we wanted to cool off throughout the day - lunch at an amazing family bbq seafood restaurant and visit to several caves along the way. On board plenty fresh towels - also a well stocked fridge with much welcomed water, beer and soft drinks. We returned to our pick up point just around 6pm. We set the itinerary throughout the day as we wished and our skipper was brilliant A must do if you visit this area.
Dear Geo, Thank you for your review, we are happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Ivan. Best regards, Blue Mile Team
Had an amazing day trip to Ston, with stops at some great places for a swim and a perfect lunch. Also had a half day trip, but full day was.best. Made a perfect end to an already great vacation!
Dear Guest, Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your trips with us. Best regards, Blue Mile Team
It was an amazing experience. It was our second time in Dubrovnik so we thought let's do a boat tour this time to explore more of coastal islands. We had the best time yet in Dubrovnik. The recommendations Luka gave us for sightseeing and places he took us to swim were memories we'll cherish forever. Thank you for this memorable experience!
Dear guest, Thank you for your review and kind words. We are glad you enjoyed your boat trip with Luka. Best regards, Blue Mile Team
An unbeatable day full of fantastic memories. Our skipper, Ivan, was superb. His experience and knowledge of the area took us off the beaten track to secluded snorkeling spots. A great lunch at Dubrovnik on Lopud and we had the Blue Cave to ourselves. Our boys thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, as did we. Thank you so much Ivan! The Clark Family x
Dear Clark family, Thank you for your review and nice words, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed your day with us. Best regards, Blu Mile Team
Ivan the Skipper couldnt have been a better host. We stopped at numerous spectacular spots, including remote ones with no one else but us in the water. Lunch, drinks and dinner all on different islands too. Just couldn't have been a better day out and well worth every penny.
Dear Guest, Thank you for your review and kind words! Best regards, Blue Mile Team
We spent a wonderful day with Niko touring the Elphati Islands with our very chilled host. Niko was an absolute pleasure, friendly and relaxed with lots of interesting stories about the locality. Our four children aged 12, 11, 9 and 8 said it was the best day of the holiday and we would have to agree with them. Not everyone is so welcoming of of 4 kids but Niko was totally at ease with them. He booked us in to a very low key local restaurant on one of the islands. On his recommendation we enjoyed local Scorpion fish cooked over a wood-fired grill washed down with some delicious local white wine. Niko was in no rush to bring us back to Dubrovnik and we saw all the beautiful sights in the islands despite an unscheduled summer thunderstorm. Thank you so much Niko. If you ever visit Ireland the Farrelly Family will welcome you.
We were blown away with this experience. Our Captain and host Ivan was superb. Really friendly and helpful. He was quick to help us with making a lunch reservation at great restaurant in Lopud which was one of our stops today. This helped us get the most out of our day and ensured we weren’t starving after all the swimming! He took us to so many beautiful locations and dropped anchor allowing us to stay as long as we wanted before suggesting a new spot. We had one teen who was happiest sunbathing and listening to music on board and one who couldn’t get enough of snorkelling and diving in. We enjoyed both and found it really relaxing with time for reading and just enyoing the scenery. The restaurant recommendation was excellent and we enjoyed fresh grilled fish, veg and meat options too. Ivan was on hand to drop us and return us to the boat as soon as we were ready. Towards the end of the day he took us to a series of caves that we could swim in to. He kindly jumped in and guided us in with snorkels to the blue cave which looked a little daunting. Having him with us gave us confidence and it was really enjoyable. Lots of drinks from the cool box, shaded areas under the canopy and great sunbathing area on board. 100% recommend this trip with Blue Mile. Awesome experience with great Captain, beautiful boat and stunning locations.
Dear Ian, Thank you so much for your kind words! It was our pleasure having you here. Hope we will be able to welcome you again! Best regards from whole Blue Mile Team!
