Island cruise

Great experience. Free drinks all day with a very good lunch at the second island! Super friendly and happy tour guide.
Pleasant voyage and genial host.

The host captain ensures that everyone's needs are being met. He makes personal contact with everyone onboard, unlike a similar Viator operation in Split! Although it is an economy lunch, it is treated as a significant dining event. Everyone appeared to enjoy the quiet social time for lunch. The staff efforts were appreciated. Problems, such as not being picked in the morning, late departure, and general confusion over the boarding location were quickly forgotten once the trip was underway. They really need a staff member, with a placard, on location at least 15 minutes prior to departure. Our trip did not include the blue cave, due to wind and waves. The excursion was still close to 9 hours in duration.
Pleasant Cruising Experience

The Elaphite Islands are stunning, unfortunately the water was a tad cold for the Blue Cave snorkeling Tour.
The captain was very amenable and ensured the passengers were adequately catered for.
The beer and wine on board was unlimited, not of the highest quality but perfectly drinkable.
All the islands were beautiful, scenic and perfect for a pleasant stroll and a quick swim if wanted.
The included meal at the captain's house was tasty, being either local fish or chicken.
Overall, a pleasant experience had by all.

Beautiful islands but rude staff and difficult getting on and off boat.

We booked this cruise through our hotel, it was a good price and offered unlimited soft drinks, beer and wine. Sounded perfect.
We got picked up, very punctual and dropped off at the port.
The boat was smaller than expected but we found a table and once again loved all the beautiful surroundings.
On board, we were offered grappa, more like paint stripper but good to try local drinks.
Then a cup of water, nothing else.
We had a little while at the blue caves, I wasn’t brave enough to swim out but did swim near the boat, the water was a good temperature.
My friends asked if they could smoke, they had a massive lecture and then was told they could go to the front.
First island was lovely, not much on there but you could walk 30 minutes or pay for a golf buggy to the other side. It would be nicer to have less time here and more at the captains house.
The drop to get on and off the boat was huge, and so unsafe. We were told to be back at 1.15, as we walked back to the boat on time, we got shouted at and told to hurry up.
Next was the lunch at the captains house, a short trip but still no drinks offered.
Lunch was the highlight, we had another shot of grappa, clear this time instead of the first yellow shot (told my friends it was tequila)
Lots of wine, the white wine was more like fermented apple juice so stuck to red.
Soup, fish and doughnuts and great company, but it was a rush in the end.
My friends mashed potato had a dead fly in it, one of the other guests swapped with her.
The boat was a long way from the edge, I had to do the spilts.
One of the guests we spoke to brought some wine round for us on the way to the final island.
We didn’t have long on here and nervous about getting shouted at again we kept an eye on the time. We had a quick drink here (my friend asked for Pinot…. No, Chardonnay?… no, just local wine)
Also here, a guest said we had to help ourselves to drinks, after I had said about it not being unlimited. No one else had bothered to tell us that!
Nice and early back on the boat (after more spilts getting on and off) I found the box within the drink. I was shouted at again, what do you want? I asked for 2 wines and a beer, the beer wasn’t good. We did manage to finally have a couple of wines on the way back to Dubrovnik and spoke to the rest of the guests.
I did really enjoy this, mainly the scenery, lunch and guests. Just found the staff rude and like we were getting told off.
