Due to the geomorphology of the Adriatic coast, caves located on the sea surface are easily accessible to visitors with a boat, and therefore world-famous. On this tour, we will take you to the exploration of the seven Dubrovnik caves. Being born and raised here, on the sea, our skippers know them like the back of their hand. And yet, they never cease to admire their magnificence and the feeling of serenity you get once you enter that surreal natural empire.
1 hr - First, we will visit several smaller caves on island Koločep. Not all of them are accessible or big enough to enter, however, you will surely enjoy the sights and your skipper’s stories about them. They are truly the secluded sea temples. Then, we will proceed to the Blue cave. As we go inside you will grasp the origin of its name. The reflection of the sun rays gives the sea an extraordinary blue color. People are magically drawn to it, it makes them want to jump into the sea right away.Next, we will visit the three Green caves. You will notice right away how the hues of turquoise and green beautifully blend as the waves ripple on the surface.These are also excellent spots for swimming and snorkeling, and of course, for taking pictures with complimentary GoPro camera.
1 hr - The next island we will visit is Lopud. It used to house two monasteries, thirty churches and several noble palaces, although only remnants of this magnificent past are visible today. If you wish, we can make a reservation for lunch in one of the best local restaurants serving freshly caught fish. Lopud is a car-free island with two large sandy beaches. One is in the main village, and on the south side of the island, there is a stunning large sandy beach Šunj located in a beautiful bay, surrounded by trees. If you are a GoT series fan, you are lucky because we can take you to some of the filming locations.
1 hr - As we sail back towards the Old Town, we will stop by the Betina cave settled in close proximity. You can reach it only by sea. Inside the cave, there is a nice pebbly beach, and since it is facing southeast it is much cooler in the afternoon hours when it is entirely in the shade. We are going to moore in front and then you can swim, snorkel, take photos or even jump off the cliffs if you are brave enough. Just across Betina cave, on the island Lokrum, we will visit the biggest of Dubrovnik caves, called the Pidgeon’s cave. Secluded, on the outer side of the island, its entrance is surrounded by steep rocks and Mediterranean greenery protruding from the rocks. You can imagine its genesis, how the huge and strong waves hitting the rocks for thousands of years have shaped this natural wonder. We hope you will be richer for many great memories and new experiences after this tour. Walking on the island Lokrum is not included in this tour.

Great experience! Highly recommend this private tour to see the caves and spots around the islands. Luke was excellent - he brought us to a lot of good spots, left plenty of time for swimming, and recommended/reserved a place for lunch. We highly recommend this tour!
Gorgeous water, fun swimming, cool caves, and Luca was a fabulous guide and captain. Highly recommend and our best day in Croatia, yet! Thank you Luca.
With our private skipper, Luka, we had a amazing time. He was thoughtful and attentive. The blue caves were awesome! An overall wonderful experience. I would recommend this trip to everybody.
My daughter and I booked this private experience and we are so glad we did! We were able to customize our tour the way we wanted and see so much. Marko was our skipper and he was attentive to all of our needs. Drinks were provided as well. This was one of the highlights of our trip!
We loved our afternoon with Luka. Cave swimming and cliff jumping were highlights but so was a last swim at a nearly private site before heading back to Dubrovnik. Very accommodating for children ages 9 and 12. Great to have a real local as your guide!
