What you'll see and do
Port Gruz
Embark on a captivating journey through the enchanting Elafiti Islands with our hop-on-hop-off tour departing from the Port of Gruz. We want to highlight the flexibility that we offer with ''hop on - hop off'' option! In high season, we have multiple departures from Dubrovnik towards islands Koločep and Lopud. On Island of Koločep we stop at two locations ''Gornje Čelo'' and ''Donje Čelo'' and then we continue to the Island of Lopud. You can choose where to disembark first (on Kolocep or on Lopud) and you have few options when to go from Lopud to Kolocep and vice versa. We will provide schedule on board to make everything clear! It's up to you how you choose to organize your island visit and we will make sure to give you as much flexibility as possible. *Please note that until May 15 (in low season months) we offer one departure from Dubrovnik. We then proceed to visit two islands (first Lopud, then Kolocep) and return back to Dubrovnik at 5:00 PM from Kolocep.

via Tripadvisor
Great day
Great trip and well looked after on the boat with water, juice, nice (optional) lunch and a sweet treat for after. Great hospitality. Lopud the stand-out island - absolutely stunning.
via Tripadvisor
Waste of Time!
They take you to two islands. They take you to Lopud where you spend three hours with nothing to do. If you do swim, there’s no place to shower and you end up salty and sticky for the rest of the trip. The beaches are crowded and there’s no place sit. Then the next island is even worse. One restaurant and one supermarket. You have to eat at the restaurant to stay in the shade. There should be a half a day tour with one hour spent at each island or even less than one hour at the second island.

Refreshing trip
Lovely trip. Lapad being the best Island. Don’t bother taking the taxi to the beach at the other side of the island as it’s only a small and crowded one.
via Tripadvisor
None
They excluded Eliphiti island. The boat was late then apartment they missed to include one island on the list

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Elaphiti Islands Hop-On Hop-Off Boat Tour from Dubrovnik: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.
How much does Elaphiti Islands Hop-On Hop-Off Boat Tour from Dubrovnik cost?
+
Prices start at $34 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 Elaphiti Islands Hop-On Hop-Off Boat Tour from Dubrovnik 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 Elaphiti Islands Hop-On Hop-Off Boat Tour from Dubrovnik worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 51 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 Elaphiti Islands Hop-On Hop-Off Boat Tour from Dubrovnik?
+
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 Elaphiti Islands Hop-On Hop-Off Boat Tour from Dubrovnik 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 Elaphiti Islands Hop-On Hop-Off Boat Tour from Dubrovnik?
+
Around 18 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 Elaphiti Islands Hop-On Hop-Off Boat Tour from Dubrovnik 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.

Not included: Lunch; Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Guided walking tours on the islands. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Elaphiti Islands Hop-On Hop-Off Boat Tour from Dubrovnik?
+
Please look for the wooden boat in navy blue called ''Europa Line'' or ''Arupinum'' - we have 2 boats that operate on this tour. Our boat is located exactly across road from Urban & Veggie Restaurant. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
