★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9,360 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $84Our pick

Half-day small-group boat tour from Dubrovnik to the Blue Cave, Sunj Beach, Lopud, and Kolocep caves with snorkeling and drinks.

“We had an absolutely unforgettable experience on our Blue Cave tour in Dubrovnik! The stunning scenery, crystal-clear water, and breathtaking caves were magical, but what truly made the day special was our captain and guide, Eric. He was friendly, professional, and full of great local knowledge that brought each stop to life. Eric went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt safe, comfortable, and had plenty of time to enjoy swimming, snorkeling, and exploring. His easygoing personality and great sense of humor made the whole trip even more fun. This was hands down one of the highlights of our time in Croatia, and I can’t recommend this tour (and…”

“I recommend this tour as the tour is relaxing and beautiful, not to mention, service is amazing. I would definitely opt for the option with food. If you opt for a pick up, there was a slight hicupp, where the driver's van was full upon pick up. Also the link I was provided did not match the location, where the driver ended up. Despite this, I was able to call the tour operator based on the phone number provided. They responded and picked us up. We just made it on the boat. Glad we made it aboard as the crew were hilarious and very caring. If your a wine lover,…”

“The tour was very good. The crew were friendly and took very good care of us, especially when it came to prepping and serving a wonderful lunch for us. The first two islands were charming with not much to do but walk in a very peaceful environment. The third island had a beautiful sandy beach with clear warm water and places to eat AND the water was warm enough to swim in. Weather was perfect. They also picked us up at our hotel. Terrific fun day and our money was well spent. The boat itself was reasonably comfortable and had two decks to choose from.”

“The boat was spotless and the toilets were the cleanest I’ve seen on a boat. The boat was lovely. I had expected it to be somewhat tacky but it was quite authentic. Coffee on board was very reasonably priced and tasted good. The staff were helpful. The stops were relaxing although we chose not to do any of the optional activities. The trip was lovely and I would recommend it. One small problem was we were sat at the front of the boat so when the guide was speaking we could not hear her due to the noise of the waves on the bow of the boat. We didn’t even…”
