5.00We booked this boat tour specifically because we wanted a small group tour and it had the visit to Lokrum Island first on the itenierary, we didn't want to be damp from swimming when visiting the island and potentially sitting down to have lunch. So this was perfect. Two hours at Lokrum was just enough time to visit all the main points of interest and sit for a quick light lunch at one of the 3/4 places on the island but you could very easily spend a half day there alone if you booked a longer tour. After we visited St Jabob's beach for a dip, it has a bar and some toilets, but do heed warnings and take some beach/swim shoes, trying to get in and out of the sea on the rocks is no ways task without! Then we got to have a quick swim at Bettina Cave which was fun jumping off the boat and dodging the kayakers. The crew Nela and Tobias were lovely and welcoming, and offered to take photos for anyone that wanted them. Nela offered information about the different sites and they helped people on and off the boat. Would recommend! It's listed as a glass bottom boat but it isn't, that didn't bother us but just something to be aware! Also remember your €30pp for your fee to enter Lokrum Island.
Lovely

5.00Booked this tour as we were walking the wall in town and decided we wanted to try to fit in some time swimming and being on the water during our day in Dubrovnik. Its a new tour, hence the limited reviews. Think of it as a taxi between destinations. You have a good amount of time on the island, and two more shorter stops to take a swim. Helpful tip: bring water shoes as the pebble beaches hurt walking barefoot. Know there is an additional fee to go on the island that you pay for once you are on the boat. Overall good tour for what I was looking for. Liked that there was a midday tour so I could spend the morning in town and afternoon on the water and still make it back to my cruise ship in time.
Nice, half-day boat tour

4.00It is a nice half-day boat tour with three stops, at Lokrum Island, St Jacob Beach and Bettina Cave Beach. It is more like a hop on-hop off boat experience and our capatins were both nice and professional. Don't forget to take your swimming suit with you to this tour!
Good value for money

4.00This was a great ferry ride that included a lot of sights for not too expensive. Our captain was great too! I really enjoyed the 2-hour stop on Lokrum Island, there were a lot of coves and places to swim, you can even swim in the Dead Sea! I wish there was a bit more time spent at Jacob’s beach for tanning, and the waves were super high at Betina Cave the day I went so we didn’t swim much there either (unless you’re an insanely strong swimmer). I was also the only solo traveler, I was hoping there would’ve been a few more in their late 20s! Overall great value and I had a really great time!
Beautiful landscape with unpleasant guide

5.00Highly recommended for anyone interested in exploring Lokrum Island. It was a wonderful experience to sunbathe on the nudist beach. A great catch-up before the sunset at St. Jacobs Beach.

4.00We went on a small boat, with about 8 other people. The boat ride itself was great - it was absolutely beautiful and fun to hit a couple different beaches and the charming little Lokrum island (botanical gardens, chapel, and peacocks roaming freely). It would have been nice if the driver of the boat were engaging, but all in all, a very worthwhile trip.
Could have been more flexible

3.00The price on the surface was a little misleading because the price to enter. The island was nearly the price of the the tour. It would’ve been nice if they gave you multiple time options to return to the boat. Each excursion felt slightly rushed, and I would’ve liked to have spent more time there. The same tour could’ve been achieved by simply walking to the cave and the beach ourselves and taking a water taxi to the island and it would’ve been much more relaxing on our time.
