The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly The Good The speedboat was clean and comfortable Bruno, the Skipper, had a nice disposition, wanted to please, and easy on the eyes The Bad No Coke Zero on board. We don’t drink sugar drinks. A 60 euro cash fuel charge is a scam. Why not add it to price of tour? I’m thinking it’s a way to put cash in the skipper’s pocket on the spot. I made a horrible decision to opt for lunch on a four hour tour. Not enough time if you want to explore the islands. Don’t take the time for lunch if you book a half day The Ugly The Skipper suggested a seafood restaurant on Lopud - La Villa. He said we needed to phone in a reservation. OMG. HUGE mistake. Totally overpriced, terrible slow service, and the $130 snapper was bland and undercooked. The lunch cost $225US. Outrageous. Bruno meets his Skipper buddies and they eat a meal for free. Laughing all the way. I told Bruno it was his responsibility to let me know how expensive the restaurant was and the amount of time it would take. I had no way of knowing. We wasted 1.5 hours and $225. A very bad tour for us.

A must do for a Dubrovnik Trip
Absolutely great experience! We booked the private tour with 4 friends and had the best time. Beautiful islands, bays, great food recommendations and amazing views from a different perspective. Drinks were included, and Kudos to our skipper Bruno, he was an absolute class act. We will book again!

Excellent Experience
This was an excellent experience for my family and I. We particularly liked the fact that we were picked up at Zaton pier, which was near where we were staying, rather than us having to go into Dubrovnik. Bruno was a fantastic and thoughtful skipper. The boat was very comfortable. Drinks were supplied. We sailed around several islands and Bruno took us into caves. Loved swimming from the boat. I can highly recommend this company.

Best boat tour ever!
We had the most amazing time with our skipper Bruno on the boat. He showed us the most beautiful places around the islands. I would recommend this tour to anyone because we really had the best day ever! A memory that will last forever.

Best day ever
Best day ever! This was an amazing experience and so worth the extra money to have a private tour over a group tour! Bruno was amazing and tailored our experience entirely on what we wanted to do. It was great and one of the highlights of our trip, swimming in the clear waters and seeing the coast/islands by boat. Couldn’t speak highly enough of Bruno and very much recommend this tour.

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Speedboat Tour over Elaphiti Islands and Hidden Caves: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.
How much does Private Speedboat Tour over Elaphiti Islands and Hidden Caves cost?
+
Prices start at $378 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 Private Speedboat Tour over Elaphiti Islands and Hidden Caves 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 Private Speedboat Tour over Elaphiti Islands and Hidden Caves worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 70 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 Private Speedboat Tour over Elaphiti Islands and Hidden Caves?
+
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 Private Speedboat Tour over Elaphiti Islands and Hidden Caves 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 Private Speedboat Tour over Elaphiti Islands and Hidden Caves?
+
Around 25 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 Private Speedboat Tour over Elaphiti Islands and Hidden Caves 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.
