Why you’ll love this…

Sit back and enjoy the views on this Catamaran cruise
Visit two of the Elaphite islands in a day from Dubrovnik
Stop at pretty Šipan, the largest island in the archipelago
Take time to explore Lopud, a peaceful, car-free island
Cool down with included drinks from the onboard bar

What to expect

Just offshore from the bustle and buzz of Dubrovnik lie the Elaphite islands, a tranquil contrast to the city. This idyllic sailing getaway takes you to discover two different Islands in the archipelago, Šipan and Lopud. Lucija, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘There are less than 1000 permanent inhabitants living in the Elaphite islands, giving you an idea of just how peaceful and rustic they are. Some of the islands are car-free, so you'll really feel you're in a different world if you arrive straight from busy Dubrovnik'

As soon as you're settled on board, you'll set sail towards Šipan, the largest island in the archipelago. Steeped in history, it's dotted with numerous old churches and noblemen's villas. Enjoy free time to explore and swim with the island as your backdrop. If you are feeling energetic, take a hike up to the Holy Trinity church, sitting on a hilltop just behind the port. The trail weaves through classic Mediterranean vegetation en route to the top, from where the views are fabulous.

Next, your captain will cruise towards Lopud to the south. It's much smaller and car-free, too, so you can expect complete serenity as you meander around on its footpaths. Lopud is known for its pretty beaches, making it a perfect place for a dip and a spot of sunbathing. The scenery unfurling as you weave through the islands on this cruise is all part of the appeal, as well as drinks on tap from the onboard bar.

Really good to have free drinks and we didn’t realise lunch was included, great crew. Downside the rep biased her talk in French (there were only around 8 English) we did not hear as much regarding the history. She talked on the boat and gathered us on the harbour for a twenty minute talk when we only had an hour.

Very wary that no safety briefings at start of tour on catamaran. For the swimmers, snorkellers, no info provided on the best locations in a specific area to go. No info provided that there were sea urchins in the swimming area. Lunch and drinks very good. History of islands was also good. Excellent crew.

The swim stop was fabulous but not very long, it was a short stop. Whereas the time at Lodun, the second island was far too long. A better balance would have improved this. My score for safety and security reflects that whilst we could see there was life jackets there was no safety talk/ explanation by the crew at any point. This is unusual as all other boat trips I have been on includes some sort of safety briefing.

Konavle Valley Wine-tasting Tour with Scenic Train

Konavle valley's distinctive culture and cuisine are revealed in all their glory during this half-day tour. You'll sample locally grown wines at family-run vineyards, ride a train from village to village and tuck into some traditional food, all in the scenic surroundings of the Konavle valley. Antun, one of our local guides, says, ‘Dubrovačka Malvasija is the renowned grape variety unique to this region. Local winemakers managed to save the species, even though there were only three healthy vines remaining in the post-war period.'Located near the border with Montenegro, between mountains and the Adriatic Sea, the valley is a sun-drenched countryside escape from Dubrovnik. You'll arrive in the village of Zastolje to visit the historic Brajković winery, then it's all aboard to ride to Ljuta by train. Here, you'll see how the 500-year-old Đivanović water mill had dual purposes – since medieval times it was used to produce flour and process wool into fabric.After this visit, we'll continue to a different vineyard and wine cellar for more tasting. You'll sample some local culture when you try a typical ploughman's lunch, just as the farmers would eat during a hard day in the fields. The final stop is a third winery. Antun says, ‘You'll relish a cold glass of Konavle rosé alongside a slice of typical pandišpanj sponge cake at this vineyard. Pandišpanj is traditionally made for special occasions, like this tour, when we welcome our guests to our beautiful Konavle valley.'

Der er en stærk håndværkstradition i området, og byerne er anerkendt for deres fine arkitektur".Efter en køretur langs den dalmatiske kyst stiger du ombord på din båd og sætter kursen mod det smalle Verige-sund, hvor hele bugten åbner sig. Du vil se, hvorfor Kotorbugten er Montenegros mest berømte destination.

Blue Cave by night

As you cruise around the wild green island of Kolocep in the Adriatic Sea, you'll catch a glimpse of traditional Croatian life, with its peaceful fishing villages, sprawling Mediterranean landscapes and mesmerising caves. You'll gather at the dock for a quick safety briefing before setting sail on an evening adventure that takes you to the island's famous caves that have been carefully carved by the sea over thousands of years. Local guide, Mia, says "I love asking guests which cave is their favourite because they're so different. The Green Caves feel rejuvenating and full of life, while the Blue Cave has a more mysterious feel."After a cruise across the calm waters of the Adriatic, you'll approach the lesser-known but utterly magical Three Green Caves, affectionately known as the ‘Three Sisters'. The captain will drop anchor, giving you around half an hour to swim around and explore. To see the emerald-green reflections that give them their name, head to the largest green cave. And, if you're feeling adventurous, swim through the narrow passage of the Canyon Cave to see the light and shadows dance on the cliff walls. Hop back onboard, where there's plenty of soft drinks, beer and wine, and head to the south of the island and the famous Blue Cave. Mia adds “in the evening light, the tunnels and caverns take on a whole new level of beauty.” You'll have time to take in the peaceful atmosphere and vivid blues for yourself as you moor up for around 30 minutes here. Then, it's back on the boat for a few drinks and some music as you return to the dock with a new appreciation for nature's masterpieces.

Half-day boat tour to the Elaphite Islands with Blue Cave visit

Cast off from Lapadskaa Obala for a half-day island escape around the Elaphite Islands. You'll be cruising on a leut, a traditional wooden fishing boat, with your captain, a true local who knows every hidden cove and secret spot in these waters like the back of his hand. He says “the Elaphite Islands are full of hidden treasures, and I know every nook and cranny.” As you glide over the Adriatic Sea, you can sit back with a glass of wine, a cold beer, or a soft drink, sailing towards your first stop – the bay of Kolocep. There's time to cool off with a dip in the sea before heading to Sunj Beach, famous for its soft golden sand and calm shallow waters – perfect for a bit of sunbathing, or another swim if you're feeling keen. Along the way, you'll uncover tucked-away coves and secret spots only locals know about. Your final stop is the Blue Cave, a natural wonder carved into the limestone cliffs of Kolcep Island. Formed over thousands of years by the crashing of the waves, the entrance is low and narrow. But, once you're inside, it opens up into a glowing chamber of blue light. Sunlight filters through an underwater opening, reflecting off the white seabed and bathing the cave in an otherworldly glow – a surreal swimming spot to round off the day.

Kayaking trip through Croatia’s Neretva Valley with lunch

Sprawling across Bosnia and Herzegovina, before pouring into the Adriatic Sea from Croatia, the Neretva Delta makes for a peaceful place to pick up a paddle. On this kayaking trip, you'll spend the day navigating the maze of canals and lagoons that peel off from the Neretva River.Your guide will set a leisurely pace along the protected waterways, allowing you to fully embrace this quiet slice of Croatia's great outdoors, with stops for swimming, too. There's plenty of wildlife to look out for, with herons, kingfishers and eagles making the waterways their home and hunting ground. Plus, being in a kayak gives you a stealthy advantage over noisier boats for capturing the best photos of the local birdlife.It's not just what's above the water that's of interest, though. You'll paddle to Kuti Lake, where local legends suggest that the ancient city of Troy lies beneath– your guide will fill you in on the full story surrounding this mysterious myth. As lunchtime approaches, you'll hang up your paddles and head to Lopoc for a hearty Croatian meal. There are plenty of options on the menu and, depending on how adventurous you're feeling, you could even try local delicacies like frogs or eels.

Neretva-floden på bådtur med frokost

Kanalerne og søerne i Neretva-dalen er dagens højdepunkter på denne heldagstur. Du sejler ned ad Neretva-floden på en trupica - en traditionel kroatisk flodbåd - og kan betragte det vilde dyreliv på vej mod Kuti-søen. Nika, en af vores lokale guider, siger: "Kuti-søen er et paradis for dyreliv - der er fugle som kongeørne, musvåger og vandrefalke samt krybdyr som det grønne øgle, typisk for Balkan. Det er en grøn oase midt i regionens karstlandskaber".Neretva-floden, hjemsted for en lang række forskellige dyr og planter, løber kun gennem 20 km af Kroatien. Men, som man siger, gode ting kommer i små mængder her, og når du sætter dig båden i flodens vandløb og kanaler, vil du se præcis hvorfor. Ombord på en typisk flodbåd af træ kommer du helt tæt på naturlige omgivelser, og der er masser af fotomuligheder undervejs. Du skal se efter oddere, skildpadder, fugle og hjorte, der har hjemme på flodbredden, samt mange fiskearter.Og når du er blevet sulten, lægger vi til ved "Neretva House"-taverna, som kun er tilgængelig med båd, for at spise frokost. Du vil blive budt på et måltid med traditionelle dalmatiske retter, der følges af lokal vin og frisk vand. Efter at at have spist op tager vi så af sted ud på returrejsen langs floden. Tilbage på land afslutter du turen med et kort stop på et hemmeligt - med garanti for ekstraordinære muligheder for at tage fremragende billeder.
