★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9,360 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $84Our pick

Spend about four hours on a shared speedboat from Dubrovnik, visiting the Blue Cave, Koločep’s three sea caves, and Sunj Beach on Lopud. You swim into the caves rather than taking the boat inside. The group is limited to 12, with snorkeling gear and one drink at each stop. Captains such as Anthony, Roko, Dino, and James are praised for keeping the trip friendly and safe.

“Such a great experience! Dominic was a great captain and guide. He was fun, friendly, and we had a blast. The caves and mountains are beautiful. Strongly recommend if you have any free time. Thank you!”

“Wow! What an amazing day. I was a solo person on a full speedboat trip with Lucy as our guide and 'Z' as our skipper. The places we visited were stunning, especially Vis and Hvar. Personally a bit disappointed with the Blue Lagoon but that's due to me not wanting to snorkel and the beach bar not being open - I think because it's not high season yet. And that was a minor issue which definitely did not detract from the whole trip. The most exciting part for me was the speedboat ride itself. 'Z' was an accomplished skipper who knew how to give his passengers a fun time. A…”

The Paxos island where you spend 2hours it's magnifique! The stop for swiming at Antipaxos ... not so much. There are a lot of boats coming almost in the same time and it's like swiming in a basin:)) It would be great if they could manage the cruises so the boats wont meet there.
