About this activity
Explore the stunning Blue Cave and hidden grottoes of the Elaphiti Islands on an intimate small-group boat tour from Dubrovnik. This 4-hour adventure combines swimming at pristine Lopud Beach with exploration of three sea caves, designed to minimize crowds while maximizing personal attention and safety.
This is a unique way to experience the magical ambient of Blue cave.
We go only with small groups, so we can approach each guest individually. Our route is carefully planned to avoid crowd and too many visitors.
In this tour you will spend time on sandy Lopud beach Sunj where you will have time to swim before we go to explore caves. Afther that we will take you to visit Three caves on Koločep Island where you can spend time exploring the untouched nature of Elaphiti islands.
The third and most important stop is the magnificent Blue Cave.
Our skipper will briefly describe how to enter the caves and provide all safety advices and help if needed. Your boat is always moored close to you, and you will be supervised by our experienced skipper at every moment.
Entering inside the caves by swimming is most amazing act of this tour. All shades of blue mixed with sun rays, will beat up all your expectations.
This is something you will talk about.
Don’t forget your swim suit!

Insider tips

- ★Bring a waterproof phone case or go without electronics—the cave's reflections are worth experiencing firsthand rather than through a screen
- ★Ask your skipper about tidal conditions; water entry into caves varies by tide, affecting the experience
- ★The boat remains anchored close by throughout—ideal for less confident swimmers who want to explore at their own pace
Good to know
