You will sail out towards Šipan Island and the skipper will choose a good place to stop for a swim somewhere along the way. Once on Šipan, enjoy a walk in the village and have dinner in one of Šipan’s exquisite restaurants which the guide or skipper will be happy to recommend and reserve for you.

Today you sail out towards Mljet Island and National Park which consists of two turquoise saltwater lakes surrounded by a lush, green forest. To see most of what the national park has to offer, you will cycle around the lakes and stop for swimming along the way.

You have lunch on the island and in the late afternoon, you sail towards the Pelješac Peninsula. The catamaran will dock or anchor in Žuljana Bay – just in time for a traditional Croatian dinner! Choose from a SUP Yoga class or a sunset paddle while dinner is being prepared for you on the boat.

You sail towards Ston – an old town surrounded by the world-famous Ston Wall.

You disembark just short of Ston to pick up your bikes and take an easy 3-kilometer cycle to Ston. You will pass through some impressive scenery, salt plains, and a breathtaking view of the famous wall. Once in Ston, take time to explore this charming town before returning to the boat and sailing to Šipan once again.

Day 5, September 16

On your last day on the boat, you will be sailing the Elaphiti Islands and stopping on the amazing white beach of Lopud Island for a rise and shine SUP yoga class.

Once on the other side, you will stop for lunch in one of the best and most authentic fish restaurants in the area. After lunch, the boat will pick you up right in front of the restaurant to take you to the final hidden gem on this boat trip, the blue cave of Koločep! Disembark back in Komolac at 4 p.m. and get transferred to your Dubrovnik hotel and enjoy dinner on your own this evening.
