Refreshing. - James was humourous. I like the first route of 3 route choice. Very adventorous and full of surprise elements. There is a drink after every swim to make sure you wont die from dehydration.

Best day of our vacation! - I booked this boat last minute (for the next day). Dora reached out to me a few hours later and we coordinated for us to be picked up. We were driven to the pier by Dora’s father who was super friendly as well. Dora explain everything quickly and clearly (she speaks perfect English), shows us where we should go, had an ice chest for us and we were off. We spent the entire day exploring the coastline and the islands. We found the coolest beach ever that we anchored and swam up to. We rented beach beds for 10 euros and ate and drank for hours. It was so relaxing and fun and enjoyable. I want to thank Dora for making our day so smooth and stress free! Highly recommend!!

Good recommendations for guide boat - The experience was amazing, Mark was a good guide touristic saying a lot of the caves and the spots to jumping from the rocks. The day was perfect to contribute for the experience. For the Brazilian people, the beer was very cold and ice.

A good value experience that will live long in our holiday memories. - Our family of five really enjoyed a day of self-drive island hopping on a small boat with an outboard motor. I don’t have a boat licence, but our host Dora was amazing in providing a clear explanation on how the boat worked, what to watch out for in the sea and even provided a map with a suggested route. The boat comes with snorkel masks, a dry bag and esky cooler for your drinks. We had the boat for eight hours, which was enough time to see both blue and green caves on Kolocep, followed by lunch at beach Sunj on Lopud, before hopping back to Kolocep for an ice cream on the beach at Donje Celo. It was really easy and highly recommended even for novices. Beware if you leave your boat unattended at anchor, keep an eye on it as they can drift on the sandy seabed. Fortunately there’s usually a friendly skipper of another boat to give you a lift out to reduce it! On returning the boat, Dora even provided some restaurant recommendations for the old town in Dubrovnik, which cemented a lovely finish to our perfect day. All in all an awesome experience and one of the highlight memories of our 2 week holiday in Croatia.

Very bad experience with this operator - I booked this experience weeks in advance when traveling from the US. I obviously have very little knowledge of what Dubrovnik zone includes, but the system allowed me to book the experience and input the address of our vacation stay. Our tickets actually say pick up from our rental with our rental address listed on the ticket. No one from the company checked to make sure they are able to offer that free pickup as advertised in the rental until the night before the rental, past the 24 hr cancellation window. The girl who contacted me said she pretty much had no control of the situation, they weren’t going to pick us up from our rental just 10 minutes or so out of their pickup zone and she couldn’t offer a refund. I am currently disputing the charges with my credit card company. I have to say that there’s a very big lack of planning on the company’s behalf. It is easy to check address right as the reservation comes in and contact the customer in advance, if there’s an issue. 0 stars out of 5 on the customer service and experience.
