Blue Cave Small-Group Boat Tour from Dubrovnik

1.Blue Cave Small-Group Boat Tour from Dubrovnik

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

Spend four hours on a shared boat with up to 12 people, swimming into Dubrovnik’s Blue Cave and Koločep’s three sea caves, then relaxing at Sunj Beach on Lopud. Guides such as Anthony, James, Dominic, and Roko are praised for safe, friendly boat handling. Drinks and snorkel gear are included.

“Initially this was listed as a catamaran small group tour. Even the photo was of a catamaran. That’s what I paid for. It definitely was not a a catamaran but only a small speed boat. There were many small boats in the area so it was crowded. Our guide, Anthony was great. It doesn’t change the fact that we didn’t get what we paid for.”

She was friendly and talked to all of the guests throughout the tour. The wine tasting stop was so good!! It was a fantastic day that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this tour.”

“This tour was extremely disappointing. More than half of the promised stops listed in the itinerary were skipped, and the operators chose to drive the boat through dangerously rough waves on the return. When I requested a full refund for the services not provided, it was denied. Overall, this was an unsafe and untrustworthy experience, and I would not recommend this company to other travelers.”

Boat ride seemed smooth with some expected wake bumps and/but very well handled. Music on boat was nice- a bit too loud for conversation with others which might have been nice. Memorable excursion.”
