Escape Dubrovnik’s walls for a private full-day cruise through the Elaphiti Islands. Swim, snorkel and explore secluded bays aboard a Quicksilver Activ 675 with a local skipper and included snorkeling gear.
You step aboard the Quicksilver Activ 675 as the old city walls of Dubrovnik recede behind you, their ochre stone shrinking against the open Adriatic. The sea pulls you toward a scatter of green islands — pines leaning to the wind, limestone cliffs scoring the horizon, and small coves that exist only by boat.

You step aboard the Quicksilver Activ 675 as the old city walls of Dubrovnik recede behind you, their ochre stone shrinking against the open Adriatic. The sea pulls you toward a scatter of green islands — pines leaning to the wind, limestone cliffs scoring the horizon, and small coves that exist only by boat.
The Elaphiti Islands (Elafiti) have served as crofts, olive terraces and summer retreats since the days of the Republic of Ragusa; their karst geology and thin soils concentrate fragrant Mediterranean shrubs and shield tiny sandy bays like Šunj on Lopud. Local villages still keep a quiet rhythm of fishing and small-scale agriculture, and the islands’ sheltered bays have long been a refuge for boaters.
This private, full-day cruise covers several of those coves: stop for snorkeling in clear, blue water (equipment provided), swim off secluded beaches, or simply lie back while a skipper navigates hidden caves and coastal highlights. The trip runs about eight hours and is tailored to your pace — longer at a favorite bay, shorter at others — but comes with a mandatory fuel supplement paid onboard (approximately €100).
Practical notes: bring reef-safe sunscreen, water shoes for rocky landings, and a light windbreaker for open-water breezes. Basic swimming ability is required for snorkel stops. Aim for a morning departure to catch calmer seas and clearer water, and keep an eye out for dolphins riding the bow wake. The experience blends relaxed cruising with active snorkeling and offers an accessible way to reach beaches and coves that are otherwise unreachable.
Tours typically depart from the main Dubrovnik harbor near the Old Town. It's walkable from most central hotels; public buses and taxis also serve the port.
Yes — snorkeling gear is included in the tour price, so you only need personal items like masks if you prefer your own fit.
Fuel is charged separately on the boat and is generally around €100 per full-day private tour; confirm the exact amount when booking.
The tour is suitable for families and all fitness levels, but non‑swimmers should remain on board during swim stops; children should be supervised and wear life jackets when required.
