Koločep, Lopud and Šipan by private boat, with a swim stop the ferries can't reach.
Our half-day Elaphiti Islands boat tour runs from Dubrovnik to Koločep, Lopud and Šipan in four hours, and twenty minutes out of the harbour, the coast goes quiet. Nobody on these islands owns a car, the ferry calls twice a day, and the best beaches face away from the mainland.
Insider: Morning slot gets the glassier water; the afternoon gets the light. Pick your priority.
