Meet your English-speaking guide at Gruž Harbor for a ferry to Koločep, then walk about 8 kilometers through fragrant Mediterranean paths, rocky hills, and quiet swimming spots. Guides such as Zeljka, Jane, Maura, and Mare lead at an easy-to-moderate pace, with time for swimming and an optional local lunch.

“This was definitely the highlight of our entire trip! Kolocep island is absolutely gorgeous and we had a wonderful guide who showed us around the lesser known parts of the island. For the main part of the hike our small group encountered under five people and it was a very refreshing break from the very busy old town in Dubrovnik. Our guide brought us to this really lovely family run restaurant where we had one of the best meals on our trip. It was definitely a 10/10 experience for us!”
