Dubrovnik Boat Mixed Fun Tour: Fishing, Snorkeling & Island Stops
Spend a full day on the Adriatic exploring the Elaphiti Islands by private boat—fish in morning hush, snorkel in a blue cave, lounge on Šunj’s sandy shore, and pause for a village lunch on Šipan. Small groups and local knowledge make this a flexible, activity-packed day at sea.
The Experience
Before You Go
Sun protection is essential
Bring high-SPF, reef-safe sunscreen, a hat and polarized sunglasses—sun reflects strongly off the water even on overcast days.
Bring motion-sickness remedies
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication or use acupressure bands before departure; afternoon chop can be stronger.
Respect local dining times
If you plan to eat in Suđurađ, arrive before typical kitchen slowdowns (early afternoon); small island restaurants close earlier than city venues.
Hydrate and pack a towel
Even with bottled water provided, carry a personal bottle and a quick-dry towel for multiple swims and changing temperatures.
