Highlight of our holiday

5.00Brilliant communication before our trip, and very smooth logistics. Paulo was a perfect balance of fun, suggestions and it transpires, had a deep knowledge of the history of Croatia - if you ask! Our group of four had a stunning trip. The boat was in great condition; there were towels, drinks, facemasks for swimming and a go-pro camera we could use. Paulo recommended a wonderful restaurant on Lopud. The boat trip was the highlight of our holiday - thank you!
Super relaxt

5.00Paulo was an incredible host and guide. We were able to see all of the islands, snorkel in the blue cave and have a delicious meal of fresh fish on the island where he grew up. The activities were customizable and at each stop Paulo shared interesting history. Paulo’s boat comfortably accommodated our family of 5. We highly recommend!

5.00The trip was amazing, we saw caves and riffs on the islands, snorkeled, had very funny experience driving the speed boat and learned a lot from our skipper about the history and culture of Dubrovnik. We definitely would do it again and recommend it to everybody.
A don’t miss experience!

5.00We had the most amazing day with Paolo. After booking, they communicated with us about optional add ons and pick up place/time. The boat is comfortable and perfect size for a cruising small group or couple! We were picked up promptly for a 9am start and even though it was a bit cloudy, Paolo made sure to personalize the tour to our wishes. We stopped at all three inhabited Elephiti islands. The first which had a small path to the other side with amazing views and cliffs into the ocean; the second which had sandy beaches, a monastery, and an arboretum, and charming town. We swam at the beach there, and then continued to the third island where Paolo grew up! We had an incredible lunch of fresh red snapper grilled and homemade EVOO, fresh veggies, their homemade spirit (akin to grappa) and house wine. We then walked around a bit, tried more of the local flavors, and finished at the blue cave. It was unfortunately too cloudy for us to get the full blue cave experience, but the water was warm and felt amazing. They provided snorkels for us. We also had some water and beers while on the boat. Paolo was amazing. He provided so much information about both Croatia at large and Dubrovnik and the islands culture, as well as a great perspective on modern life and everyday issues facing the community now. We would 100% do this again and it was one of our favorite activities for our two week stay in Croatia.
Amazing Experience with Paulo! Highly highly highly recommend!

5.00My family and I had an amazing experience with Paulo. He is an amazing person and an amazing tour guide, who gave us so much flexibility in making the tour completely customizable for what we wanted to do. We never imagined that we would have been able to see and do so much during the day - from swimming in the Blue Cave to seeing 3 different islands! Paulo wanted us to enjoy our time to the fullest and let us take as much time as we wanted at each stop, he told us not to worry about the time :). We also were able to learn so much about the history of this beautiful country. We highly recommend that you take this tour and will personally be recommending Paulo to all of our friends who are visiting Croatia.
Unbelievable experience

5.00Unbelievable experience, our skipper/tour guide/barman/driver Paulo was incredible and definitely made the experience, views and caves were also amazing! Paulo took us to amazing spots without people or a lot of boats as we requested. And to a fabulous place to have lunch. We had at our disposal snorkel equipment and a GoPro to film our experience. Many thanks for the wonderful afternoon Paulo!
