About this experience
Our tour is offering you a chance to experience the islands on a different way! Experience the beauty of the Elaphite Islands, snorkel in a magical Blue Cave and taste local gastronomy in our unique homemade lunch in Captain’s house. After departure from Dubrovnik, first stop is Blue Cave. Snorkelling, swimming, jumping from the boat. As long as you want. Next stop is island Lopud. Few hours of free time is enough for you to explore the island and visit the sandy beach “Sunj” and get yourself ready for the next stop and highlight of our trip. Taste of local gastronomy in our homemade lunch served in Captain’s house on Island Sipan. Home made bread and home made olive oil. Following with the soup, main course that is grilled just in front of you and desert. During the whole lunch, homemade wine is unlimited :) On your way back captain will surprise you with one more swimming break! We are waiting for you!

Absolute Highlight of Our Trip to Dubrovnik!
If you are visiting Dubrovnik, you must book this boat trip. We did the 3 Islands and Blue Cave tour, and it was hands-down one of the best experiences of our lives! Here is why this trip is worth every single penny: Marino, the absolute best guide: A massive shoutout to Marino! He was incredibly friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a blast. He really made the day special with his great energy and local knowledge. Excellent job, Marino! The food & drinks: They were incredibly generous with the drinks—our cups were never empty! To top it off, the food was absolutely delicious and freshly prepared. Far exceeded our expectations for boat food. Stunning itinerary: Visiting the 3 islands and swimming in the breathtaking Blue Cave was pure magic. This tour is worth all the money and more. Do yourself a favor and book it—and if you get Marino as your guide, you know you're in for an unforgettable day!

Best day of our trip, absolutely recommend
We took the 3 island tour by recommendation of our Hotel (Lanterna villa in Stikovica) they collected us directly from the bay just under the hotel. It was definitely the best day of our trip, highly recommend. The boat crew are so friendly and the home made lunch was delicious, I don’t normally eat fish but I thought do as the locals and so glad I did, amazing food. Plenty of drinks on offer (soft and alcohol). Swimming off the boat and then time spent at the different islands, we had a fantastic day. If you don’t like swimming that’s fine, not everyone got off at the Blue cave, they also had buoyancy aids if required for confidence boost in the water.

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Elaphite Islands Cruise with Local Gastronomy at Captain's House: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.
How much does Elaphite Islands Cruise with Local Gastronomy at Captain's House cost?
+
Prices start at $10 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 Elaphite Islands Cruise with Local Gastronomy at Captain's House take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Elaphite Islands Cruise with Local Gastronomy at Captain's House worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 73 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 Elaphite Islands Cruise with Local Gastronomy at Captain's House?
+
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 Elaphite Islands Cruise with Local Gastronomy at Captain's House suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Elaphite Islands Cruise with Local Gastronomy at Captain's House?
+
Around 26 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Elaphite Islands Cruise with Local Gastronomy at Captain's House 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.
