What you'll see and do
Lopud Island
Elaphite Islands are islands in the Dubrovnik Archipelago, famous for its natural beauty. The most popular island is Lopud. That is our first stop where you can spend as much time as you like depending on the lenght of your tour (4 or 8 h). This oasis of peace and beauty is so attractive and popular because of the numerous sandy beaches, rocky paths through the mysterious old forests, olive groves and vineyards. We always encourage guests to visit one of the oldest botanical gardens in Europe, and spend some time on famous beach Šunj, where, according to a local legend, if you bathe with your loved one, you’ll never part.

Sipan
The second island you must visit is the island Šipan. We can spend there as much time as you prefer depending on the duration of your tour (4 or 8 h). Historically, a very interesting and powerful island. During the 15th century it was a chic summer getaway for the very best of Dubrovnik's families, many of whom built villas on the island. Šipan is known to be called "the Mediterranean as it used to be".

Kolocep Island
On our way back, we will stop at island Koločep, time spent depends on your preferences and duration of tour. You've probably heard about the famous blue cave and the wild island with high cliffs called Koločep. Rich in hidden caves and high cliffs, it is perfect for exploring. You will be given a unique opportunity to explore the underwater of Koločep and a relax on sandy beach. Koločep has as much as 250 sunny days per year, which together with the divine, clear sea and rich vegetation of pines and olives, makes it a heavenly island.

Explore Elaphiti Islands in this unique tour at your own pace for 4 or 8 hours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.
How much does Explore Elaphiti Islands in this unique tour at your own pace for 4 or 8 hours cost?
+
Prices start at $801 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 Explore Elaphiti Islands in this unique tour at your own pace for 4 or 8 hours take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Explore Elaphiti Islands in this unique tour at your own pace for 4 or 8 hours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 653 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 Explore Elaphiti Islands in this unique tour at your own pace for 4 or 8 hours?
+
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 Explore Elaphiti Islands in this unique tour at your own pace for 4 or 8 hours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Explore Elaphiti Islands in this unique tour at your own pace for 4 or 8 hours?
+
Around 229 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Explore Elaphiti Islands in this unique tour at your own pace for 4 or 8 hours 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.
