“Great communication after booking, easy to find, beautiful and quiet location to set off from, much better than the busy ones in the centre of the town. went out to two stunning small islands at a speed that suited everyone. had some food on the second one, very good tuna salad, pizza and a few beers then a nice leisurely kayak back to the beech. equipment all in great condition and guide could give as much or as little info as you wanted, but also had a very good local knowledge. have done a few of these over the years but this was by far the best and most scenic.”

Review of a 9-hour Elaphite Islands cruise from Dubrovnik with Blue Cave snorkeling, homemade lunch, drinks, and practical tips.

“L'île de Lopud est jolie. En revanche, j'ai été déçue par le déjeuner sur L'île de sipan qui a été expéditif et nous n'avons même pas visiter cette île. Quand à la grotte bleue, elle devrait plutôt s'appeler la grotte noire car c'est tout sombre. Le matériel de snorkelling qu'on nous prête est inutile car il n'y a rien à voir.
