Embark on a half-day aquatic adventure exploring the crystal-clear waters off Dubrovnik, once praised by famed sea explorer Jacques Cousteau as one of the cleanest and most pristine in the world. Your journey begins as you board a zodiac at the harbor, setting off along Dubrovnik’s stunning city walls with breathtaking views from the sea. Cruise past the Lapad Peninsula, passing the picturesque Grebeni Lighthouse, and continue toward Kolocep Island. Here, you'll stop at the Modra Spilja Cave (Blue Grotto) for a refreshing swim and snorkeling session. After enjoying the crystal waters, you'll head to Lopud Island, where you can relax on its white sandy beaches. Following your beach time, enjoy a light lunch and drink at a local restaurant before re-boarding your speedboat for a scenic cruise back to Dubrovnik.

After departing the port, you'll head to the village of Mandaljena, home to the Miloslavic Family.
