    What you'll see and do

    1. Dubrovnik City Walls

      We will cruise past Dubrovnik’s majestic city walls and enjoy a stunning panorama of its ancient towers, including St. John, Bokar, Revelin, Lovrijenac, and Minčeta. The boat will move slowly along the coastline, allowing guests plenty of time to admire the view and capture beautiful photos of the historic city.

      Pass by without stopping

    2. We will stay approximately 45 minutes at the Blue Cave, famous for its glowing blue water created by the natural reflection of sunlight. Snorkeling equipment, including masks and breathing tubes, is provided for a complete underwater experience. Floaters such as “noodles” are also available on board if needed. The boat will anchor about 20 meters from the cave, which is accessible only by swimming, as the entrance is too small for boats to enter.

      45 minutes here

    3. Kolocep Island

      You’ll spend around 1½ hours exploring the peaceful island of Koločep, a car-free haven just off Dubrovnik. As you step ashore, you’ll have time to stroll between the two villages—Donje Čelo and Gornje Čelo—linked by shaded paths through pine groves and olive trees. For swimming and snorkeling, there’s no shortage of spots: beaches like Donje Čelo offer shallow sands and calm waters ideal for families, while hidden coves tempt more adventurous swimmers. For those who enjoy a slower pace, unwind at cozy seaside cafés where you can sip a cool drink or coctail. The island’s calm atmosphere, friendly locals, and unspoiled scenery make it an ideal place to rest, recharge, and enjoy authentic Mediterranean charm before returning to the boat. For a touch of history and culture, check out local pre-Romanesque churches like St. Nicholas or St. Sergius. On your way to next destination brunch will be served, cold platter with selection of cheese and local prsciuto with pickeled vegetables.

      90 minutes here

    4. Lopud

      You’ll spend around 2 hours on Lopud, a serene island known for its lush greenery and charming village streets. Take a leisurely stroll through the historic center, where boutique shops and local cafés invite you to browse and relax. Don’t miss the beautiful Franciscan Monastery with its peaceful courtyard, or the island’s botanical garden showcasing Mediterranean plants and flowers which were brought by sailors from Dubrovnik Republic from remote locations. For those who love the beach, Sunj Bay offers golden sands and calm waters, perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or simply unwinding. Paddle along the shallow shore or take a refreshing dip in the clear Adriatic. Enjoy a drink at a seaside bar or sample local specialties at a cozy restaurant. The island’s scenic walking paths, rich history, and relaxed atmosphere make Lopud a delightful stop to explore, shop, and soak in the Mediterranean charm before returning to the boat.

    Family Vacation

    We really enjoyed the cruise — everything was great! We visited the Blue Lagoon and then stopped at two islands, where we also had a really good time. Our guide, Lucy, was fantastic, and the captain, Greg, was great too. Lucy and Greg were both amazing and made the whole trip really enjoyable. Thank you!

    Dubrovnik: Cavtat Blue Cave and Elaphiti Islands Boat Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.

    How much does Dubrovnik: Cavtat Blue Cave and Elaphiti Islands Boat Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at €40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubrovnik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Dubrovnik: Cavtat Blue Cave and Elaphiti Islands Boat Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubrovnik is not rushed.

    Is Dubrovnik: Cavtat Blue Cave and Elaphiti Islands Boat Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 554 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Dubrovnik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Dubrovnik: Cavtat Blue Cave and Elaphiti Islands Boat Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Dubrovnik: Cavtat Blue Cave and Elaphiti Islands Boat Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Dubrovnik: Cavtat Blue Cave and Elaphiti Islands Boat Tour?

    +

    Around 194 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubrovnik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubrovnik and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Dubrovnik: Cavtat Blue Cave and Elaphiti Islands Boat Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubrovnik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Dubrovnik?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Dubrovnik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubrovnik: Game of Thrones Walking Tour, Dubrovnik: 7 Caves & Blue Cave Speedboat Tour (4h), Dubrovnik: Sunset Kayaking & Snorkeling with water &wine. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Dubrovnik?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Dubrovnik?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Dubrovnik: Cavtat Blue Cave and Elaphiti Islands Boat Tour?

    +

    Included: Carbonated beverages; Bottled water; Use of snorkeling equipment; Alcoholic beverages; and Brunch. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Dubrovnik: Cavtat Blue Cave and Elaphiti Islands Boat Tour?

    +

    Departure is at the end of main pier in Mlini harbour. Mlini departure time - 09:10 (9:10AM) Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Dubrovnik: Cavtat Blue Cave and Elaphiti Islands Boat Tour offered in?

    +

    +

    Is Dubrovnik: Cavtat Blue Cave and Elaphiti Islands Boat Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Dubrovnik: Cavtat Blue Cave and Elaphiti Islands Boat Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
