A don’t miss experience! - We had the most amazing day with Paolo. After booking, they communicated with us about optional add ons and pick up place/time. The boat is comfortable and perfect size for a cruising small group or couple! We were picked up promptly for a 9am start and even though it was a bit cloudy, Paolo made sure to personalize the tour to our wishes. We stopped at all three inhabited Elephiti islands. The first which had a small path to the other side with amazing views and cliffs into the ocean; the second which had sandy beaches, a monastery, and an arboretum, and charming town. We swam at the beach there, and then continued to the third island where Paolo grew up! We had an incredible lunch of fresh red snapper grilled and homemade EVOO, fresh veggies, their homemade spirit (akin to grappa) and house wine. We then walked around a bit, tried more of the local flavors, and finished at the blue cave. It was unfortunately too cloudy for us to get the full blue cave experience, but the water was warm and felt amazing. They provided snorkels for us. We also had some water and beers while on the boat. Paolo was amazing. He provided so much information about both Croatia at large and Dubrovnik and the islands culture, as well as a great perspective on modern life and everyday issues facing the community now. We would 100% do this again and it was one of our favorite activities for our two week stay in Croatia.

Amazing Experience with Paulo! Highly highly highly recommend! - My family and I had an amazing experience with Paulo. He is an amazing person and an amazing tour guide, who gave us so much flexibility in making the tour completely customizable for what we wanted to do. We never imagined that we would have been able to see and do so much during the day - from swimming in the Blue Cave to seeing 3 different islands! Paulo wanted us to enjoy our time to the fullest and let us take as much time as we wanted at each stop, he told us not to worry about the time :). We also were able to learn so much about the history of this beautiful country. We highly recommend that you take this tour and will personally be recommending Paulo to all of our friends who are visiting Croatia.

Unbelievable experience - Unbelievable experience, our skipper/tour guide/barman/driver Paulo was incredible and definitely made the experience, views and caves were also amazing! Paulo took us to amazing spots without people or a lot of boats as we requested. And to a fabulous place to have lunch. We had at our disposal snorkel equipment and a GoPro to film our experience. Many thanks for the wonderful afternoon Paulo!

An amazing morning out on the boat - We had a fantastic morning out on the boat trip with Paulo. Everything was arranged so easily with what’s app messages. We were picked up from a local pier so only a few steps from our villa. Paulo was very knowledgeable and passionate about the area, and couldn’t have been more helpful and fun. He made us feel very relaxed, especially me with my bottle of fizz! Thanks so much for a great morning, we will definitely be in touch when we come back to gorgeous Dubrovnik. We would highly recommend a tour with these guys, especially the boat trip

Neka se To Do Dubrovnik nađe na vašoj To Do listi. - ▶️ Apsolutna preporuka! Kad želiš doživjeti nešto novo i interesantno To Do Dubrovnik je fantastična opcija. Ugodan i pristupačan vodič rado je, vozeći nas u svom urednom i prostranom gliseru, odgovarao na upite vezano za Elafite, upoznao nas sa poviješću istih, te nam ponudio par odličnih mjesta za odmoriti i okupati se, daleko od svih. Špilje su nas ostavile bez teksta, kao i mirni pitoreskni otok Šipan. Neka To Do Dubrovnik bude i vaša opcija. ▶️ Absolute recommendation! When you want to experience something new and interesting, To Do Dubrovnik is a fantastic option. A pleasant and approachable guide was happy to drive us in his tidy and spacious speedboat, answer questions about the Elaphites, introduce us to their history, and offer us a couple of excellent places to rest and bathe, far away from everyone. The caves left us speechless, as did the peaceful picturesque island of Šipan. Let To Do Dubrovnik be your option as well.

Amazing Private Boat Trip - The boat trip was amazing, the highlight of our trip to Dubrovnik. We visited many islands and our driver Paolo explained so much history and interesting details of the area. The boat was immaculate and ideal for a private trip for 5. Paolo is an incredibly good driver taking us in and out of caves to see coral and fish and lending his go pro to photograph in the water. The blue cave was great for a swim but a little busy, so it was wonderful to leave the bigger boats behind to go to secluded coves for swimming & snokelling. Plus Paolo called to get us the last table for lunch at the best harbour side restaurant on his home island of Sipan. There was a choice of freshly caught fish cooked to perfection in the most idyllic setting.

Had the best private boat experience with Paolo! - THE BEST PART OF OUR TRIP TO DUBROVNIK. Made a new best friend with our skipper Paolo! He was so kind and funny and taught us so much about Dubrovnik. He based the tour off of our needs and took us to see and do things we requested and more! Secret beaches and blue caves! But most of all he was so nice and accommodating. We wish we had more time to do a full day tour with him. Overall it was the best experience we had in Croatia and if we ever came back we would definitely do it again!
