Multi-Activity Holiday Around The Coast of Dubrovnik and The Elafiti Archipelagos

Day 1 Arrival to Lopud Island
Your adventure begins in Gruz harbour with a group meeting at 4 pm. There are later options available, but arrival in Dubrovnik after 6 pm may mean missing the last boat to the island. Upon your arrival to the island, we will transfer you to Sipanska Luka and your accommodation. Once you’ve settled in, we’ll suggest some easy walks for your first day.
Feel free to shape your day—whether unwinding on the beach, enjoying a meal at one of the locally-owned restaurants, or immersing yourself in the local culture. You can discover the communal spirit through the game of bocce ball, a beloved pastime in this area. Witness or join locals gathering each evening for a friendly game, highlighting the warmth that defines Sipan.

Fun fact: Sipan is in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the most olive trees for its size. The island is quiet and has low traffic, so you will be able to peacefully cycle through its roads, exploring untouched nature, hidden churches and stop at the locals offering oil, wine and cake tasting.

Day 4 Visit Dubrovnik or Hike Kolocep
Visit Dubrovnik, the most beautiful of all Mediterranean towns, for sightseeing, shopping in ancient streets, and walking along city walls. Ice cream or coffee taste best in open air bistros along Stradun, Old Town’s main street and promenade. Take an optional boat ride to Lokrum, the “cursed island” near Dubrovnik with its Benedictine monastery, botanical garden, small lake popularly known as the “Dead Sea” and Fort Royal Castle.
For those planning to stay in Dubrovnik before or after the tour, we suggest visiting Kolocep island. Interesting for its dramatic scenery with rocky beaches, high cliffs, turquoise bays and colorful reefs, Kolocep offers a great getaway. There are no cars on this tiny island so the walk through the villages will be very enjoyable. On your walk across the island you will encounter many architectural remnants, witnesses of the turbulent history of the area: an old pre-Romantic chapel, ruins of a basilica, summer homes of Dubrovnik nobility, Napoelon’s fort, and more.

Today we will explore the nearby Lopud Island. Lopud has many beautiful walking routes that take one from the shore to the top of the island and back. This island’s true treasures are its tiny churches and an ancient fort strategically located at one of its highest points. In the past it served as an observation point and was used to protect the island’s safety. Descend to the natural sand beach Sunj for a relaxing day, where you can visit seaside restaurants with a sea swing and hammocks nestled in the forest—an ideal place to enjoy a drink in the island’s tranquillity.

Day 6 Elaphiti Islands Sea Kayaking and Afternoon Sailing
The Elaphiti Islands are a paradise for sea kayaking and snorkelling. We set out from Luka Sipanska, paddling west towards Jakljan, Tajan, and Olipa islands. These islands offer hidden beaches indented coastlines, perfect for exploration. All three are uninhabited and their beaches can only be accessed from a small boat or kayak, resulting in several secluded beaches and a rich, undisturbed underwater world.
In the afternoon, a catamaran will take us on a sailing trip around the area. Occasionally our boat is met by friendly dolphin as we enjoy the sun setting over the Elaphiti. Return to Sipanska Luka in the late afternoon/evening.
