Where do we cruise to, where are the stops and what dowe visit?
In a half a day, 4-hour cruise, we first stop at the Blue Cave on Kolocep island. This stop is long enough to explore the cave inside. The next stop is the Green Cave and Dark Cave for swimming and relaxing, and the final stop is on the island of Lopud where we visit the stunning Sunj beach, the only sandy beach in the region.
For a full day private boat cruise, you are free to make your own itinerary, visit three islands and make your own plans. View our map here.
How far in advance to book?

How do I reserve? What is the deposit?
The deposits vary from 30%-50% EUR of the total. The deposit goes towards food, alcohol, and staff preparations prior to your tour. The remaining balance is collected upon boarding.

We have the best refund policy at the marina!
100% refundable if the weather does not permit boating.
What if there's bad weather on the day of the tour?
