About this tour
A 4-hour morning boat tour from Dubrovnik exploring the Elafiti Islands' Blue and Green Caves, with snorkelling in clear waters and time at Šunj Beach. You'll see the Blue Cave's distinctive light-refracted colour, swim in three Green Caves, and finish at a quiet sandy beach with a bar. The early 8:30 AM start keeps groups smaller than afternoon runs. Drinks (beer, white wine, water) included for adults; snorkelling gear provided.
Highlights
- Blue Cave on Kolocep Island, famous for luminous blue water from light refraction
- Three Green Caves with pristine snorkelling in crystalline Adriatic water
- Included beer and white wine served on board during sailing
- Šunj Beach on Lopud Island — sandy, quiet, with beachside bar
- Early morning departure reduces crowds compared to later tours
- Snorkelling gear and bottled water included
- Suitable for all fitness levels
What to expect
You'll board at 8:30 AM and head out by boat to Kolocep Island to see the Blue Cave first, where you can observe the distinctive blue colouring created by sunlight reflecting off the sand below. After that, you'll move to the three Green Caves for snorkelling in the clear water — bring your underwater camera if you want photos. Throughout the sailing, you can enjoy complimentary drinks at the bar on board.
The final stop is Šunj Beach on Lopud Island, a sandy beach with a bar nestled in the woods where you can rest, swim again if you like, and relax for the remaining time. The tour wraps up in the early afternoon, allowing plenty of daylight for the return journey.

Good to know
This tour suits snorkellers, swimmers, and anyone wanting to see the famous Blue Cave without fighting afternoon crowds. The early start is deliberate — you'll have quieter caves and less congested waters. Bear in mind: lunch is not included, so eat beforehand or plan to grab something at the beach bar. Alcoholic drinks are for ages 18+ only; under-18s get water. The tour runs June through mid-September; outside those dates it may not operate. Service animals are welcome. All fitness levels can join, though you'll be swimming and snorkelling, so basic comfort in water helps. Group size isn't specified, but the early timing keeps numbers manageable.
