A relaxed private escape to Dubrovnik’s most beautiful islands
If you’re visiting Dubrovnik and looking for the perfect escape from the city, a private boat tour to the Elaphiti Islands is one of the best experiences you can choose.
Located just northwest of Dubrovnik, the Elaphiti Islands offer a stunning mix of crystal-clear waters, hidden caves, sandy beaches and charming local villages — all best explored by boat.
While there are many group tours available, a private boat tour gives you complete flexibility.
* travel at your own pace
* avoid crowded boats
* stop wherever you like
* tailor the day to your preferences
Whether you’re looking for a relaxed day in the sun or a more active experience with swimming and exploring, a private boat tour adapts to you.
One of the most common questions is whether to choose a half-day or full-day experience.
* have limited time in Dubrovnik
* want a quick escape from the city
* prefer a shorter, more dynamic experience
* Koločep Island (famous for its caves and turquoise water)
* a few hidden swimming spots
* scenic coastal areas
It’s a great option for couples or guests who want a taste of the Adriatic without committing a full day.
An 8-hour tour offers a much more relaxed and complete experience.
* Koločep (caves and swimming)
* Lopud Island (home to the famous sandy beach Šunj)
* Šipan Island (quiet villages and optional lunch stops)
* swim at multiple locations
* enjoy a longer lunch break
* discover hidden bays
* truly unwind without rushing
For most guests, this becomes the highlight of their stay in Dubrovnik
Perfect for a fast and active day, with easy access to caves and smaller bays.

Unlike the busy Old Town, the Elaphiti Islands offer a peaceful and natural environment.

It’s a completely different side of Dubrovnik — and one that many visitors miss.
Whether you choose a 4-hour or 8-hour tour, a private boat trip to the Elaphiti Islands is one of the most memorable experiences you can have in Dubrovnik.
