    Amazing Island Excursion

    My family and I had an amazing time on this excursion to Mljet and the Elafiti islands. Our skipper, Paulo, was friendly, talkative, and very knowledgeable about the region. The day was unique and one to remember. I highly recommend!

    Great islands tour

    We found the tour through instagram and it was the best choice. Paulo gave a us great tour on his 6 person speed boat with top level hospitality. Paulo is knows the spots for amazing views, crystal clear hidden beaches and the magical island of Mlijet. We really got great value for what we paid. I really recommend booking the tour for an unforgettable experience for couples or a group of friends.

    Response from the operator: Dear Paula, Thank you for your feedback. It make us happy we were able to provide the hospitality & professionalism which is one of our bussines goals. If you come to Dubrovnik again we will be happy to be your host on another adventure. Kind regards Antonija

    South Mljet & west Elafiti islands private boat tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.

    How much does South Mljet & west Elafiti islands private boat tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $314 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 South Mljet & west Elafiti islands private boat tour 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 South Mljet & west Elafiti islands private boat tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 South Mljet & west Elafiti islands private boat tour?

    +

    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 South Mljet & west Elafiti islands private boat tour 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 South Mljet & west Elafiti islands private boat tour?

    +

    Around 1 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 South Mljet & west Elafiti islands private boat tour 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.

    What is included in South Mljet & west Elafiti islands private boat tour?

    +

    Included: Floaties; Towels; Use of snorkeling equipment; Drinks on board (water, beer, wine, soft drinks,..); and Skipper. Not included: Surcharges on fuel; Lunch; Bottle of sparkling wine (optional =20€); and Fruit cup (optional = 5 €). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is South Mljet & west Elafiti islands private boat tour offered in?

    +
