The Elaphiti archipelago has no cars and no industry — just villages, olive groves, sandy coves and fifteen centuries of history scattered along the water. These islands were the summer home of Dubrovnik's sea captains, and this cruise is the classic way to meet all three of the inhabited ones in a single day.
Between islands there's lunch on board, unlimited drinks, and the bow of the boat — our party deck — where the crew will put your Spotify on the big speakers. Karaoke has been known to happen.
Depending on sea conditions, the captain may adjust the route for your safety and comfort.
The route
First stop
Lopud
Thirty tiny churches, Europe's oldest botanical garden, and Šunj — a rare true sandy beach. Legend says couples who swim there together never part.
Stop 2
Šipan
The largest island, and the least touristy: Gothic summer villas of Dubrovnik's nobles, a working fishing harbour, and a world record for olive trees.
Final stop
Koločep
The smallest and greenest. Two villages joined by a footpath through pines — swim, cliff-jump, or just find a rock in the sun.

Good questions
What's the lunch like?
A simple meal prepared and served on board, with unlimited wine, soft drinks and water throughout the day. Tell us in advance about dietary requirements and we'll do our best.
How much time do we get on each island?
Enough to actually walk around — this is a full day, not a drive-by. The exact rhythm flexes with the group and the weather.
Should I bring snorkelling gear?
On this cruise, yes — snorkelling equipment isn't provided on the full-day boat, so bring your own if you want it. Towels too.
What if the weather is bad?
Safety decides. If conditions aren't right we'll offer you a new date or a full refund — whichever suits you.
Cancellation, plainly
Free cancellation up to 48 hours before your tour. If the weather turns, we reschedule you or refund you in full — your choice.
