We take a short break of 45 minutes in small port -Suđurađ. You can relax and have a coffee in old fisherman’s port, or you can do some quick sightseeing for that time! The Island is the biggest island, and it is in the Guinness book of the records by biggest number of olive trees on one island. It is historically very interesting. During the 15th century it was a chic summer getaway for the very best Dubrovnik’s families, many of whom built villas on the island. There’s late-Gothic Rector’s Palace and ruins of archbishop’s palaces. In Suđurađ, you will find many fisherman’s families who stayed on the island and kept their tradition for all those years. The reason for that is that island is furthest from town so tourism didn’t commercialize it. You will see how people are truly living on the island. Many small and big fishing boats, old stone houses and children selling seashells in the port. Šipan is known to be called “the Mediterranean as it used to be“.

Fabulous and interesting experience discovering Croation life on the islands.

Fabulous experience visiting the 3 Islands. We were picked up from our hotel straight to the boat in Dubrovnik. We were also taken back to our hotel on the return journey. The crew were fantastic, very informative and fun. Everything went so smoothly with them. We had a delicious fish meal on board the ship as part of the package, which I think is great value gor money. We had a good time on the islands and it was interesting to see life on Sipan without the use of cars. Lopad was pretty with a nice beach accessed by golf carts.

Don't be afraid, you can do it! Best day!!!

A fantastic and relaxed full day tour visiting local islands. Island of Lopud was the highlight, worth paying the €3 each golf buggy taxi to take you to Sunj beach. Water shallow, crystal clear and sandy beach. The lunch on the boat was delish and wine glass was never empty! Natasha and Arco were fantastic, they looked after us very well. I would highly recommend doing this boat tour as part of your holiday to Dubrovnik. Best ride of the holiday 😆😉
