A fabulous fun family day, boating, the gorgeous islands near Dubrovnik
A great fun family day. Large boat with plenty of room, high speed, friendly, helpful, joyful staff. Would take us anywhere we wanted, but since we didn’t know where to go, Vinny took us to his favorite spots, which were great. snorkeling at the blue cave was fine as where the charming islands.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words. We are thrilled to hear your family had such a great time on board - from zipping across the waves to exploring Vinny’s favorite island gems! He really does have a knack for picking the perfect spots, especially when guests are happy to go with the flow and enjoy the day as it unfolds. We’d love to welcome you all back anytime for another round of island hopping and new memories. Until then, big greetings from the whole crew! 💙

Gorgeous views, just enough adventure , would do it again but a little different.
The overall experience was amazing. Ill start with the cons first and the reason for me not rating this 5/5. Unfortunately our whole private tour was delayed almost 1 hour and that really sucked. We didn't get any sun on the nice beach part because we went in the afternoon and ended up starting at 4pm. The travel agent we dealt with ,Angela ,was amazing, and super sweet. Everyone apologized profusely, though that late start definitely minuses 1 star for me. I didn't like waiting in the heat for an hour but they did their best with the circumstances to get us a new boat as soon as possible because the boat gas station was backed up that day. The "unlimited" drinks from a North American understanding was grossly underestimated. There was a cooler with some pop and beer and a ( not so good) bottle of white wine. Id say I expected a little more from this description. Maybe at least 2 wines to choose from in little bottles.. and unfortunately cups were missing. Had we all wanted to drink beer there would not have been enough. I would suggest anyone who purchases this private package let the agent know what kind of drinks you'd like to drink so at least there's enough for everyone in the party. Pros ! We had a great skipper, joško, he was very easy going and shared some stories and history of the area. He led us on a beautiful scenic route through jutting out rocks and close to the cliff, places we couldn't go with a bigger boat ( like inside a cave) . You could tell he is passionate and enjoys his job and he handled the boat ( from my extreme lack of knowledge in this department :p ) very good. We could choose when we wanted to leave each of the spots, had there been a bit more sun we would have stayed at the gorgeous sandy beach but I feel that 1 hour delay took that part a bit away from us. Our skipper made up for that though by driving us to a local restaurant on another island, for drinks and food while the sun went down. We loved being able to snorkel/ swim around with the masks, we enjoyed the views , overall it was a beautiful , relaxing time. I myself am not much of a boat person and I think this was a great experience to re define my feelings on boats, cave swimming and more. All in all I would not suggest leaving in the afternoon. It's a 4 hour package so if you do leave in the afternoon . Between 1 and 3 pm would be better. We had ours originally scheduled for 3 and I think our sun and beach experience ( had we left on time) would have only been like half an hour or 45 min max. We paid 340 euros for this package, between the 3 of us it was worth it since the other tour would have been 75-80 bucks per person with 15 to 20 other people and a strict time schedule. 30 euros more per person was definitely worth the privacy, sunbathing while we drove and flexibility.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your detailed feedback! We're really glad to hear that you had a great experience overall, despite some setbacks. We apologize again for the delayed start, as we understand that can be frustrating, especially in the heat. We're grateful for your understanding as we worked to get a new boat ready. We truly appreciate your input regarding the drinks – we always strive to improve and will definitely consider offering a better selection moving forward, and ensuring there’s enough for everyone. It's wonderful to hear that despite the delay, you enjoyed the scenic route with Paško and the chance to explore caves and swim. We’re so glad you found the experience relaxing and that it gave you a new appreciation for boats and cave swimming! We’ll keep your timing suggestion in mind, as we want our guests to have the best possible experience. Thanks again for your thoughtful review, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private speedboat tour to Elaphiti Islands: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.
How much does Private speedboat tour to Elaphiti Islands cost?
+
Prices start at $720 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 to Elaphiti Islands take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 to Elaphiti Islands worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 12 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 to Elaphiti Islands?
+
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 to Elaphiti Islands suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private speedboat tour to Elaphiti Islands?
+
Around 4 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private speedboat tour to Elaphiti Islands 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.
