15 Full-Day Tours in Croatia to Build a Day Around

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 8,823 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $78.60Our pick

Cruise the Elaphite Islands from Dubrovnik with stops on Lopud, Sipan, and Kolocep, plus lunch, drinks, and swimming time.

“A relaxing tour of the islands. While it was late season and not really swimming weather we still enjoyed the tour. The lunch on the boat exceeded our expectations. The generous serving of fish on board was better than the expensive dinner restaurant the night before. The last stop for three hours was about one hour too long but maybe not if it was summer and you were swimming.”

Full-day Montenegro trip from Dubrovnik with Perast and Kotor, optional boat to Our Lady of the Rocks, plus Bay of Kotor views.

“We were disappointed by our experience on this tour, as many of the negative reviews about it turned out to be true. The ad doesn't mention that you won’t be dropped off at the original pick-up point, but rather at a location about 10-15 minutes downhill. This could be a challenge for anyone with knee issues, so it's worth considering before booking. Niko, the guide, seemed friendly at first, but it became clear he had partnerships with certain businesses, and at every stop, there was pressure to spend—starting with a €10 “optional” boat ride to Perast, which lasts just five minutes each way. The dessert, which was one of the…”

We were able to jump in the water and swim with our guide and climb back onboard to enjoy a filling lunch. We then headed to the cutest beach with white sandy shores and comfortable lounge seating. I would highly recommend booking this tour if you have the time!”
