THE ROUTE

Island-hopping the Elaphites

The itinerary visits the trio of inhabited Elafiti islands—Koločep, Lopud and Šipan—giving you short transits between distinct shores and plenty of time to explore each stop.

THE WATER

Swim and snorkel in clear blue water, enter the Blue Cave and the Green Cave, and drop anchor in hidden bays and seaside coves for uninterrupted water time.

THE SLOW MOMENT

Šunj Beach and island-side lunches

Pause on Šunj Beach to relax on sand, or ask your skipper to pull into a seaside restaurant on the islands for an optional lunch or drinks by the water.

The day is built around your preferences—swim, snorkel, sunbathe, or tie into a seaside restaurant for a relaxed meal.
