Elaphiti Islands Cruise from Dubrovnik

Boat trip

Overview

The Elaphiti Islands lie just north-west of Dubrovnik, and three of them make a perfect day at sea: Koločep, Šipan and Lopud. There are no cars on Koločep and Lopud and only a few on Šipan, so the pace is slow, the water is clear and the villages are quiet.

The boat leaves Gruž harbour at 10:00. First stop is Koločep, with time for a swim or a walk through the pines. Lunch is served on board as you sail on to Šipan, the largest of the islands, with its old stone houses and harbour villages. The afternoon is spent on Lopud, where you can walk over the island to the sandy bay of Šunj or stay on the waterfront promenade. You're back in Gruž at about 17:45.

It's an easy, relaxed day that suits all ages. Bring swimwear, a towel and sun cream.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a guide?

The crew runs the day and times, but there is no guided tour on the islands. You explore at your own pace at each stop.

Can children join?

Yes. Children up to 6 usually travel free; from 6 they pay the full rate.

What if the weather is bad?

The route can change, or the trip can be cancelled, if the sea is rough. We will rebook or refund.
