The full-day Elaphiti Islands boat trip from Dubrovnik gives you all three islands — Koločep, Lopud and Šipan — plus the two things the half-day can’t: a long konoba lunch and the second swim you’ll actually want. Eight hours, one private boat, no timetable.

Insider: Šipan’s olive oil has been pressed by the same families for generations — ask the skipper about a bottle.

“Three islands and we never felt rushed. A long lunch on Šipan, two proper swims, and the skipper picked coves the day-trippers never reach.”

The questions guests ask most before booking.

See all FAQs
How many islands do you visit on a full-day Elaphiti tour?
All three — Koločep, Lopud and Šipan — at an unhurried pace, with real time ashore on each rather than a quick pass.
Where do you have lunch on the Elaphiti Islands?
At a family konoba on Šipan or Lopud. We call ahead to hold a table; you settle with the kitchen directly, so you eat exactly what you fancy.
What is the difference between the half-day and full-day Elaphiti tour?
The half-day Elaphiti tour (4h) is one loop with a single long swim, back by early afternoon. The full day (8h) adds a proper konoba lunch, a second swim you’ll actually want, and time to walk each island.
What’s included?
Skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer and white wine, towels, SUP, snorkelling equipment, insurance and final cleaning. Free hotel transfer is included; lunch ashore is settled directly with the konoba.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes. Šunj on Lopud is shallow, sandy and safe for small swimmers, and the day runs at a relaxed pace. We can stock kid-friendly snacks if you let us know.
