Highlights
  • Kolocep Island - Embark on our Dubrovnik Private Speedboat Tour to the enchanting Elaphite Islands. Elaphiti islands are the group of the islands, where our first stop is Koločep, or Kalamota how locals call it. Come and explore the Caves however you like with a special trip guided by a local skipper. The sea is warm, clear and very blue. One of the coolest parts is visiting the famous Blue Cave. The Blue Cave is a small swim from the boat and there are a few rocks along the side to stop if needed. Pretty, once you are inside. We will provide you with a snorkeling mask to see beneath the water. You’ll have drinks like beer, wine, soft drinks, and water provided. Plus, you can use snorkeling gear if you want to.
  • Sunj Beach - Ater the Caves, we are going to chill out on Šunj beach in Lopud Island. The beach is sandy and shallow, so great for kids, and there’s plenty of space. The bay is sheltered so the sea is calm. You will see many locals in the beach shoal playing a sport with a small ball. We call it “Picigin”. A very interesting and funny game which is played with a small ball on the sandy beach, in the shallows. Many tourists also love this sport, and we believe that you would also love it! Who could resist this game, in the beautiful sea shallows, when the weather is great? Experience the fun on this way and believe that you will not regret it! And don’t you worry, we will bring the small ball. We got you covered :)
  • Lopud Island - After exploring the stunning beach at Šunj, we’ll head to the other side of the island where a delightful culinary experience awaits you. Savor a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, featuring the freshest catch of the day for seafood enthusiasts.

After lunch, immerse yourself in the island’s rich history with a visit to the Franciscan monastery, founded in 1483, the oldest part of Lopud. Stroll through the serene and picturesque botanical garden, a hidden gem free of charge. This experience combines natural beauty, history, and local flavors, making it the perfect way to discover the charm of Lopud.

  • Sudurad - During the 15th and 16th century many summer residences were built on Šipan by the noble families from Dubrovnik. Šipanska Luka and Suđurađ are the two main towns of the Šipan island. In Suđurađ you can see the remains of the renaissance castle of the family Stjepović – Skočibuha. Also worth visiting is the beautiful Pakljena tower, which dates back to 1563. If you would like to escape urban life for a while and soak up the relaxing vibe and peaceful atmosphere, to have a fully authentic experience, visit the scenic palatial former residence of the Skoćibuha family, located in Suđurađ. Find out how the typical Dalmatian village looks like by visiting Šipanska Luka, where locals still live by old customs traditions handed down by their ancestors. Learn about the myths and legends of Šipan on a guided tour around many of the islands’ historical, natural, and cultural attractions. The whimsical fisherman village of Suđurađ, on the island’s east coast, is worth exploring.
  • Osmoliš - Following our visit to the island of Šipan, the waves will guide us along the stunning coastline, eventually bringing us to the turquoise beach of Osmoliš. Here the locals reveal hidden gems and picturesque spots, perfect for capturing unforgettable memories. Our excursion concludes with a swim at this breathtaking beach. While it marks the end of our full-day adventure, we are happy to extend our stay, allowing you to savor the rhythmic waves and enjoy another glass of local wine.

Dubrovnik Escapade 2024 - This was a great day organized by Hello Dubrovnik by Boat Company. We had everything we needed, water, wine, beer, floats, diving equipment and a great captain who made our day. I recommend a full-day adventure with this speedboat to everyone. Ana is a wonderful person who is an excellent host. it was easy to book via the barcode of the hand fan used for refreshment. Hand fans are everywhere around Dubrovnik. Thank you for lovely day & see you again!

So good we went again! - We liked our last boat tour so much we went and booked a second one! This time we did the full day so we could see even more beautiful places. If I could give this a higher rating I definitely would!!! We went to some beautiful islands and swimming spots where we could see a lot of cute fishies and we even saw an octopus!! 🐙✨(honestly one of the coolest experiences of my life). Ana is also the sweetest person ever and thinks with you about your interests and itinerary. 20/10 would recommend 💖
