Because there are so many options for boating excursions around Dubrovnik, and because every group has unique interests, our company organizes only personalized, private tours. This means that you choose the length and time of your tour, as well as your destinations and type of activities.
You can choose from Half to Full-Day excursions to visit some of our local islands. Croatia has over 1200 Islands, each one more peaceful and beautiful than the last, so it would be a shame to spend your vacation in Dubrovnik without seeing at least a couple of them.

What To Expect
Kolocep Island

5.00Tom was great, he met what we wanted out of the expedition and took us to spots that fit that. He knew the area well, was accommodating, and was an expert at piloting the boat. He also provided refreshments & beer which was great. Highly recommend if you want to explore the water/islands of Dubrovnik!
The best afternoon!

5.00We had the most amazing time with Ivan!! My husband, 3-year-old daughter and I had such a perfect afternoon. Ivan was thoughtful, considerate, and allowed us to have the most perfect afternoon!! I never had to worry about a single thing on the trip and loved all of the island and swimming stops. Just go on this trip and enjoy it!!

5.00Ivan our captain was AMAZING! His skills and training made us feel safe and relaxed. He is local and knew exactly where to take us. We told him what we wanted to do and told him to “fill in the rest”. We cruised many islands, swam in bays, experienced caves and he recommended the most amazing restaurant on Lopud for lunch. I would not have changed anything about the day!
So beautiful and relaxing!

5.00We did the 8 hour trip and it was amazing! Our skipper, Josep, was so nice and brought us to all the beautiful but also less touristy places. He even brought a speaker on board for us. We have been traveling in Europe for two months and this is one of our favorite days yet! Would definitely recommend doing a full day trip because there is so much to see and it’s much more relaxing when you’re not rushed. We also had plenty of time for a nice lunch on one of the islands and afterwards, enjoyed some drinks included on the boat. 100% recommend booking, thanks Josep!

5.00This was such a fun experience for my friends and I. We loved our tour. It was just us and our Captain, Ivan. He took care of us and got us anything we needed or wanted. Let us swim and showed us around Dubrovnik as well as surrounding areas. It was such a fun day and I would 10000% do it again!
Away from the crowds to the max

5.00Without a doubt, worth it. Between exploring the Elaphiti islands, swimming in some amazing spots, and ending the day watching the sunset behind the islands, the 8 hours felt like only a few. Our skipper, Tom, made sure that we were well taken care of and was happy to share his insights and recommendations to make sure we got to experience all that we wanted. Thank you Explore Dubrovnik, we were very glad to have met you and have a fantastic day
A 100% MUST experience when visiting Dubrovnik

5.00We had high expectations from the boat tour but this by far exceeded our expectations. Our skipper Tom guided us to the must see places (blue cove), private coves where no other tourist were to explore with a go pro and booked us a table at a fantastic fish restaurant on one of the islands. No trip to Dubrovnik is complete without a tour with explore Dubrovnik - worth every penny.

5.00Booking was super easy! Picked up by Dominik at the Gruz Market right one time and we were off. Our tour was tailored so we got to choose what we did. That being said Dominik was an excellent guide by suggesting what we might like to do. It was perfect. Secluded swimming holes, island history, amazing lunch recommendations, and even things to do for the remainder of our stay in Dubrovnik. It exceeded our expectations in every way!
