Great trip around the Elaphite Islands with Karake

Published on May, 2025

This was a great trip around the three islands, representing very good value for money. The staff were all very professional and friendly and Indira, the guide was especially knowledgeable and communicative. She made some excellent suggestions for how to spend time on each of the three islands but was in no way pushy. The visits were nicely spaced, allowing just enough time on each island.

11/10, wonderful experience

Published on May, 2025

Splendid trip, both the islands and the boat itself made for an amazing experience! A massive 'Hvala' to our tour guide Indira who made everything clear and easy for us!

Very nice trip with Indira she gave us all the information regarding the history of the islands. The landscapes were amazing.

Must do trip when visiting Dubrovnik

Published on May, 2025

We did a full day trip visiting 3 islands on the Karaka. The ship is a stunning replica of an original Croatian sailing ship and is very atmospheric and a wonderful way to sail to the islands. The crew and tour guide Indira were excellent and very knowledgeable. Indira was a great guide. There are optional tours to do when visiting the islands, there is no pressure if you don't want to. But I would recommend the olive oil and wine tasting on the second island. The trip was a fantastic experience and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Dubrovnik.

Cool!

Wonderful experience of visiting Adriatic islands on replica Columbus ship "Santa Maria", guide Indira is the best!!
