“Amazing trip to the Elaphite Islands. Karaka boat is beautiful with nice bar and sandwiches on board. Our tour guide Andreja was spectacular and very knowledgable. There was optional free short walking tours while on the islands with her which were lovely and showed parts we wouldn’t have known to look for and she provided excellent information. The beach at Lopud is beautiful and warm enough water to swim and toes touch the bottom of the sea! Highly recommend this excursion”

“The bad Really loud thumping techno music from start to finish coming from thier cushion speakers. Politely asked just turn down a little. but in time it always went back up. it’s a shame. to me it ruined the awesome atmosphere. Good. great trip great tour guide. great new shaded boat. great towns. If blasting loud techno isn’t for you maybe ask to go with the father. my guess is it’s just a kid thing with thinking everyone likes that music. outside of the rock concert disco tech experience their hearts are right. When you meet there are three captains. two sons and father. ask for father. It just really…”

Definitely recommend this trip.”
