About this tour
An 8-hour sailing tour departing Dubrovnik that takes you to three Elafiti Islands—Koločep, Lopud, and Šipan—with swimming and snorkelling stops. You'll explore each island's character: Koločep's quiet village and clear waters, Lopud's Sunj Beach, and Šipan's Skočibuha Castle, vineyards, and olive groves. Snorkelling gear is provided, and you can eat lunch at a local restaurant (at your own cost). Most of the day is spent under sail rather than docked.

What to expect
You'll board a sailboat in Dubrovnik early morning and spend most of the day sailing to and between the three islands. The boat carries snorkelling equipment and has basic facilities—a toilet and outdoor shower. At each island, you have time to explore on foot, swim, or snorkel in designated spots. On Lopud, Sunj Beach is a main draw. On Šipan, you can walk to Skočibuha Castle and see the island's agricultural landscape. A lunch stop at one of the islands' restaurants gives you a chance to eat and drink (you pay separately), then you sail back to Dubrovnik. The schedule balances sailing time with island exploration.
