Detailed itinerary

1

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.

After exploring the caves, it’s time to unwind at one of the most beautiful beaches in the area – Šunj Beach on Lopud Island. This spacious sandy beach with shallow, calm waters is perfect for families with kids, as well as anyone looking to relax and soak up the sun.

The bay is naturally sheltered, making the sea calm and ideal for swimming. Along the beach, you’ll find a few cozy cocktail bars serving delicious food, and one of them even has hammocks hanging between the trees – the ultimate chill-out spot to sip a drink, take a nap, or simply enjoy the peaceful island atmosphere.

If you love laid-back vibes, warm sun, and crystal-clear sea, Šunj Beach is the place to be. And of course, your friendly local skipper will be happy to share more insider tips and help tailor the experience to your wishes.

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.
