About this experience

Upgrade your Blue Cave adventure to a luxurious experience with our catamaran tour!

Unlike crowded speedboats, our spacious catamaran offers plenty of room to move around, stretch out on cushioned seating, and soak in the views in total comfort. With shaded areas to escape the sun — something most basic speedboat tours don’t offer — you can fully enjoy the journey, not just the destination.

Sail smoothly across the Adriatic aboard a catamaran known for its stability, offering a far more relaxing and less bumpy ride compared to smaller boats. The atmosphere on board is calm and laid-back, perfect for travelers seeking a more premium and comfortable experience.

And unlike speedboats, we have a bathroom on board — a small detail that makes a big difference during a full-day tour.

Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Koločep Island awaits with its crown jewel — the Blue Cave. As we approach, prepare to be amazed by the natural light show. Sunlight filters through an opening in the cave, casting an ethereal blue glow on the water. Put on your snorkeling gear (provided) and dive into this cool, refreshing oasis. Swim beneath the shimmering surface and marvel at the vibrant underwater world. You’ll also have the chance to discover other hidden caves, like the Green Cave, and explore the beautiful beaches around Koločep Island. Take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters or simply relax on the pristine shores.

Bask in the Beauty of Šunj Beach on Your Blue Cave Tour
While the Blue Cave is the undeniable star of your Koločep Island adventure, no tour is complete without a visit to the stunning Šunj Beach on Lopud, another gem of the Elaphite archipelago.

Picture this: After being amazed by the otherworldly Blue Cave, your boat heads toward Lopud Island. As you approach the shore, the turquoise waters gently lap against a vast stretch of fine, soft sand. Welcome to Šunj Beach — a true paradise for sun lovers and beach enthusiasts.

Stretch Out and Soak Up the Sun
Šunj Beach is the longest sandy beach in the Elaphiti Islands. Unlike the typical pebbly beaches found elsewhere in Croatia, Šunj offers an expansive stretch of soft sand, perfect for sinking your toes into and enjoying the gentle pressure with every step. Relax on a beach towel and soak up the warm Dubrovnik sunshine.
