Half-Day Elafiti Islands Private Speed Boat Tour by Quicksilver 675
Overview
From the main port of Gruž, it only takes about 20 min to get to the Elaphiti Archipelago, so a Half Day Tour is great for those looking for a bit of adventure and some beautiful nature close to town. Of the three main (inhabited) islands, you can easily visit one or two in a half day. Some of our guests make it to all three islands in the four hour time slot, but if you want to spend time in the sea, this will probably feel rushed.
Islands are ideal if you like swimming and snorkeling. Our skippers know all of the best spots. If you want to visit some of the islands’ historical villages instead, you might consider the old Monastery and Rector’s Palace on Lopud.
Since this is a private tour, you get to decide on your own itinerary and you are free to change it throughout the day. Your skipper can advise you about the area and help you make the most of your time. It’s 100% flexible, and it’s 100% up to you.

The whole Explore Dubrovnik private boat tour was excellent. Firstly communication from booking the boat they were very helpful. When I had to postpone as my daughter was I’ll they were very accommodating with calls and WhatsApp. On the day Damir our skipper was very welcoming and knowledgeable about all of the islands and caves, history and wildlife, he tailored the trip for us and made the whole experience a lot of fun. Definitely recommend for an unforgettable experience, everything was as described.kramsta

We chose to treat ourselves on the last day of our holiday, with a stunning half day speed boat tour for my wife and 5 year old son. Damir, our skipper, was excellent. Very knowledgeable on all the points of interest, safety conscious and hospitable on his amazing Quicksilver speed boat. By having a private tour we could decide where and how long we would stay in any location and were able to use the entire boat including: sun deck, rear seats and cabin to change from wet clothes after swimming etc. Highlights of the tour were the blue cave that we swam to and the sunset at the end of the tour when we dropped anchor, played some tunes and enjoyed a couple of complimentary alcoholic drinks. I’d certainly recommend this tour over larger vessel bookings as you really get the VIP treatment, with collection and return at our hotel marina. Great work Damir, keep it up and we hope to see you again next time!RachelCAllen

Yesterday, we had the most amazing boat trip, with our skipper Damir. He was the most fantastic host and tour guide! We sailed along the coastline to two islands, we went swimming in caves, saw a sunset, all in all it was wonderful and we would most definitely recommend this trip and Damir personally! Damir was also very knowledgable about Croatian history and was able to show us interesting places including, historical buildings, ports, caves, walks and churches. We will most certainly take a tour with you again. The most memorable day and we will never forget it! Thank you.malvina g

Damir was the best guide for our 6 hour speed boat tour of the islands. My fiancé and I had the best time exploring caves, swimming in magical secret spots, and Damir even provided a great lunch recommendation. Don’t look any further, this is the best company ( they communicate via WhatsApp and are super fast to respond). This experience was the highlight of our Dubrovnik trip.
