★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 360 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $163Our pick

Set out from Dubrovnik at 7:30 a.m. with an English-speaking Sea Breeze skipper such as Marko, Ante, George, Suzy, Toni, or Carlo. Ride a speedy RIB to Lopud, Odysseus Cave, Mljet National Park, Šipan, and Koločep, with swimming, snorkeling, and free time ashore.

“We probably didn’t have ideal conditions for this trip, but the conditions weren’t the worst either; a bit of wind is all. But that is no excuse for the poor maintenance of the boat. I was with my wife, 3 adult children, and my son’s spouse, so I felt responsible for their safety, having booked this experience. Shortly after departing, the Bimini top experienced a failure; the back zipper broke, And after a short run to the first island, the crew (Carlo and George) had to drop the Bimini top.

3.Mljet National Park trip – Pure Nature & Island Escape

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 33 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $156Best value

Travel by speedboat from Dubrovnik to Mljet National Park, cycle beside two saltwater lakes, and visit St Mary’s island. The day also includes Prapratno Beach and a coffee stop on Lopud. Guide Dorian is among the helpful guides, but e-bikes, park tickets, lunch, towels, and wind jackets cost extra.

“The island itself is beautiful and worth seeing. The tour itself is somewhat advertised falsely as an E-bike tour when the bikes themselves are not included in the tour price (35 EUR per person). The boat that takes you out to the island is a large banana boat with uncomfortable seats and the ride takes close to 2 hours one way. The tour also says it includes drinks but we weren’t offered a drink at any time. So the tour price basically paid for an uncomfortable boat ride.”

Set out from Dubrovnik at 10:00 with a local skipper such as Marin for an eight-hour private boat day. See the Old Town from the water, visit Kolocep, Lopud, Sipan, and south Mljet, then choose your own swimming, snorkeling, beach, port, and lunch stops.

“What a wonderful day! Our skipper, Marin, was so kind! Thus was our last day in Croatia and it was perfect! He took us to quiet places where we could enjoy being together before heading home!! Would highly recommend for a chill day on the water!”
