Elaphiti Islands On The Luxury Pirate Ship Karaka Dubrovnik - Koločep: pine woods, a fishing village, and farm flavors

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,082 reviews · 6 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $67Our pick

Review of Dubrovnik’s Karaka pirate ship cruise to Koločep, Šipan, and Lopud, with swimming, tastings, transport tips, and honest value advice.

“Thoroughly enjoyed the trip on board the Karaka recently. The crew are excellent and our guide brought us up to date with the history of the islands. We took the trip to taste the local wine on one of the islands. This only involved a short hike into the countryside where we sat in the back garden of our host (under shade) and for a few Euros each sampled the local fare. A very pleasant way to escape the heat of the sun! All in all, a very relaxing day, and on our way back a highlight to see the Karaka's sails blowing in the wind! Give it a go,…”

Review of SeaYou’s luxury Blue Cave, Vis and Hvar boat tour from Split or Brač, with itinerary details, costs, tips, and honest pros and cons.

“Although the weather did not pan out as planned, to no fault of our wonderful tour guides, we would highly recommend SeaYou tours. While the sea was rough and we were unable to do many on the usual stops on the tour, I very much appreciated the care and consideration of our captain for making the right (and best) call for the safety of the group throughout the day. I wish we didn’t spend as much time seated in the boat on the choppy waters, but this is a risk you take while traveling. Again, our guide Kate and captain were wonderful, making the day as pleasurable as they could…”

“Don’t miss out - Book this tour and ask for Dino! He made this tour so much fun. This tour company , Speed Line tours, was efficient from start to finish- well organized with 3 of their boats leaving and riding out to the blue cave together . ( This was reassuring to me , the mom. ) So much FUN and so much beauty surrounding us the entire tour. Our family (boat owners ourselves ) felt safe the entire time with Dino . The boat was in great shape and comfortable too. The blue cave was breathtaking, and it was easy to get photos and video’s from the smaller…”

Review of Split’s Blue Cave and island speedboat tour, with Hvar, swimming stops, costs, comfort tips, and honest advice.

“The speed boat trip was quite an experience but it should be better disclosed so one can have a better idea of what to expect. First - the trip to the Blue Cave is very long and we ended up there completely wet since we were sited on the last raw of the boat. We thought that that was bad so we requested to change sits and we were move up front - WORSE choice ever as the water impact is worse sitting up front that in the back, so on the next stop we moved back and fortunately we didn't get more wet than we were already. Because the…”
