The first one is big and easy, just swim inside and warm up for the next ones. The second cave is more interesting as it is darker and smaller. The third cave is a long and narrow channel which you can go through and exit on the other side and then come back swimming around

No Show.
The boat was a no show. I contacted them and they said they would send a boat in 45 mins. They didn’t. Uber money spent and wasted. Not impressed.

Best family day out ever!
We all greatly enjoyed what my three teenagers described as “our best family day ever” on a boat tour around the Elaphiti Islands with Kiko as our guide. It was absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend it. We left early and loved swimming in the Blue Caves and Green Caves before anyone else arrived, which was very special. Sunj Beach was a great stop and Lopud village the most stunning “must see” location. Kiko was excellent - highly knowledgeable about the area and full of excellent suggestions for the itinerary, while being perfectly happy to take us to secluded swimming spots and never making us feel rushed. A brilliant day out for the whole family - and that’s not always easy with teens! Thank you, Kiko.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your amazing review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the trip and that our team helped make it memorable. Sharing Croatia’s beauty and culture with our guests is our greatest pleasure. We hope to see you again next season!

Beautiful day island hopping
We had an amazing trip with Kristian! He took us to beautiful local spots around the islands, including Kolocep, Lopud, and more. The whole experience was seamless, with convenient pick-up and drop-off directly at our Airbnb. Kristian shared so many great local recommendations for food and sights, which made our time in the area even better. It was such a beautiful day on the water, and I would absolutely book this tour again. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: It was a pleasure having you on tour with us — we hope to welcome you back soon for another adventure! Hopefully see you again in Croatia!

Awesome day with kiko
We had the best all day private tour of the islands. Our skipper helped us plan the day and take us to all the amazing spots. Kiko let us play our own music on the boat. He had snorkeling gear & made us a reservation for a beautiful lunch. There was plenty of water & drinks on the boat. They were so helpful & accommodating. I would recommend this tour. It is truly amazing.This is best tour ever and next summer probably we’re going back with the same skipper and boat.i really recommend this boat and skipper. Keep it up.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the kind words and thoughtful recommendation. We are glad to hear you had a relaxing and enjoyable day exploring the islands, and that the lunch and beach time made it even better. Let us know if you ever return to Dubrovnik, we'd love to have you on board again.

Best tour ever
From our pickup to drop-off, we had the most fantastic and chill day! Kiko the captain was very informative, personable and obliging. He showed us the most beautiful areas, and waited patiently while we got off to visit some of the islands. He made the whole experience above and beyond ! Pasko picked us up and dropped us home, he was a total pleasure to deal with, very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re so happy you had a fantastic day exploring the islands and enjoying the hidden gems. It’s great to hear that the crew made you feel so comfortable and taken care of throughout the trip. We strive to provide an unforgettable experience, and your kind words mean a lot to us. THANK YOU very much Kiko

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dubrovnik: Private Boat Islands & Blue Cave Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.
How much does Dubrovnik: Private Boat Islands & Blue Cave Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $353 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: Private Boat Islands & Blue Cave Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 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: Private Boat Islands & Blue Cave Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dubrovnik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dubrovnik: Private Boat Islands & Blue Cave 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: Private Boat Islands & Blue Cave Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dubrovnik: Private Boat Islands & Blue Cave Tour?
+
Around 2 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dubrovnik: Private Boat Islands & Blue Cave 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, Panorama Zipline Experience in Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik: 7 Caves & Blue Cave Speedboat Tour (4h). 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.
