A wonderful experience and great value. One of the highlights of our trip - Such a fantastic trip. The boat was amazing and really good value. Indira was a great tour guide. Such beautiful islands and lovely to get away from the business of the old town. Definitely do the optional wine tasting tour on Sipan. Would highly recommend.

Island Insides and beautiful Beach Sunje - Very nice trip. Fulfilled all expectations. And the team, including Indira, provided us with a lot of information. The tour with tasting is highly recommended to get an impression of current island life.

Wonderful! - Unbelievably great experience! Indira was incredible, the islands were all beautiful & I learned so much. The ship was pretty great, too! I highly recommend this tour. Excellent value, for your money. Def do the wine tasting & the hike with Indira as well. I almost skipped it to wander off on my own & that would have been a mistake. Both are a huge part of the overall experience.

Wonderful experience! - Danijela was our tour guide for our sailing trip. She was clear and thorough to ensure everyone on board was on-board (pun) with the ground rules, and she took great care of us. Her and the rest of the crew were a group of jolly people who answered every question with a smile and ensured our experience on and off the boat were equally safe and amazing. 100% recommend you try any of the Karaka boat tours.

ohe sailor - departure at 8am from the port of Cruz Dubrovnik, for a day at sea with stopover in 3 Elaphites islands , where we will walk in peace, the sea is calm and the sun accompanies us, it is easy to imagine sailor frips in this big galleon , to look away from the sea and watch for possible pirates, because the cargo holds are full of goods, stop let's go back to earth,!

With Karaka, Dubrovnik - Amazing views and helpful, friendly staff took us to these 3 Islands. Guide Indira gave inspirational stories and great tips what to do on islands. The first Island Kolosep was my personal favorite and we had a tour on a local farm with tastiers and opprtunity to bay the products like olive oil, sundried tomatoes, liquer,grappa, honey, natural sweets.. the day went fast an atmosphere was enjouable, wrather not too Hot. End of October in Croatia is beautiful and sunny +20-23 c.
