A great day in Montenegro

We arrived in Dubrovnik and unfortunately, Mother Nature was not cooperating so we were not able to take our boat tour. But our tour operator, Frankie, offered us several options to consider (wine tour, money back, etc) and we settled on a day trip to Montenegro boy what a great choice! Andrija picked us up in a comfortable, Mercedes minivan and proceeded to give us a tour of a lifetime. About 45 minutes east of Dubrovnik, we crossed over into Montenegro (must bring your passports) and made stops in the cities of Perast (where we did get to take a short private boat tour to Our Lady of Rocks church (25 euros each, but worth it) and Kotor (sites, shopping and a beautiful Fort Worth exploring). We ended with a late lunch/early dinner at Andrija's recommended restaurant called Konoba Catovica Mlini. One of the BEST dining experiences ever (and yes, Iโ€™m a true foodie). The only thing that topped the food was the impeccable service. And Andrija surprised me with a birthday song and dessert! Dropped back at our hotel by 6:30pm. Thank you Frankie and Andrija for helping to make a most memorable day and birthday!

THE BEST BOAT TOUR (GOAT)

Booked months in advance, we couldn't wait to arrive with our cruise ship in Dubrovnik. Every single element matched what had been discussed. From the very start, we knew this vacation would be unforgettable. This company provided us with an unforgettable experience that words cannot do justice to. Numerous idyllic places to swim, a scenic tour of Dubrovnik's Old Town from the water (with a break for lunch), and many more islands' best-kept secrets. The highlight of our cruise vacation.



Half day Dubrovnik private boat tour

I recently booked the half-day Dubrovnik private boat tour with Tendo Luxury Travel and it exceeded all my expectations. The knowledgeable local captain and crew made the experience exceptional. We had the freedom to explore the beautiful Elaphiti Islands at our own pace, stopping at hidden coves and sea caves along the way. The crystal-clear waters and opportunities for swimming and snorkeling were unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour for a truly professional and luxurious experience.

Best Boat Spots in Dubrovnik!

Frano is the best! We got to see the Blue and Green Caves, ล ipan Island, and a private beach with a tropical bar. We snorkeled, went cliff diving, and got to watch the sunset pulling back into Dubrovnik. It was an amazing tour!



Amazing trip

Fantastic trip today, the skipper Petro was amazing. A great way to spend the day if you want to avoid the crowds with expert opinions on where to visit and what to do but completely tailorable to your own preference. From driver pick up to skipper, completely professional experience. Would definitely recommend it!

Amazing day boating around Dubrovnik and environs!

We had a FANTASTIC time with our captain Milan! He took us to around the islands, swimming in the caves, to an OUTSTANDING sushi restaurant in an INCREDIBLE setting. He shared the islandsโ€™ history told us personal anecdotes and went above and beyond, introducing us to some of his friends we came across while swimming near the caves on the way home. It was an experience my boys (aged 21 and 17) will never forget. :)



Dubrovnik boat trip

We hired Ivanโ€™s boat on a friends recommendation for a half day so we could snorkel in the Blue and Green caves and see some of the lovely islands like Kalamota & lopud and I have to say it didnโ€™t disappoint. At this point I should say there are two Ivanโ€™s one who sorts the bookings and taxi service collecting you from your hotel or base and delivering you to the port and Ivan no 2 who drives the boat and looks after you on the day and we found both to be very reliable, punctual and genuinely nice people who want you to get the most from your day out. Nothing is too much trouble for either and they will tailor the day exactly as you want so if there are specific places you want to visit they will oblige as long as within a feasible distance or you can rely on them to show all of the nice places to stop and visit along the way. We stopped for a late lunch on the island of Lopud and ate on Ivanโ€™s recommendation at Obala restaurant which is a fine dining and we had one of the best meals weโ€™d ever had which made the day even more special. Whilst you can book boat trips all over when in Dubrovnik and some but not all are cheaper if you want a Tailored experience which offers door to door collection experience in a group, that you dictate these guys are hard to beat. All in all this is a 5 star experience that we thoroughly enjoyed and when we visit Dubrovnik again, this will be high on our agenda.

Fantastic day!

We had the most fantastic day, the weather was choppy but Skipper adapted accordingly to make sure we were comfortable. He suggested visiting the island of Lapud which was beautiful. We got to swim in lovely coves, snorkeling gear, and the underwater camera provided. It was the highlight of our stay in Croatia.



The perfect morning with a brilliant host.

My husband found this trip by chance as it was not on the Viator app that I could see, but my husband and son went together and they absolutely loved it. It was a speedboat with the fabulously friendly and helpful Franco at the helm. They were picked up from their hotel and driven right down to where the boat was. It was just the two of them on the day they went and Franco basically told them he was at their service and they could do whatever they wanted and go wherever they wanted in the half day available. Towels and snorkelling equipment were all provided, as well as drinks and snacks. They went to the Blue Cave first and having done that headed straight off because it is very busy. They went next to the Green Cave and spent a long time exploring various caves and tunnels. If we ever return to Dubrovnik, we will be going again as a whole family and probably make an entire day of it. Thank you for giving them such a fantastic time.

Great service, an experience to remember.

Because our friends had informed us that there are a lot of tourist boats at the caverns in the morning, we decided to go on this private tour so that we could escape the crowds and get the most out of our experience. Our skipper took us into the caves and mentioned that we might be able to visit again later in the day when there would be fewer people around. In the middle of everything, we went to a secluded cave that was so well hidden that it wasn't even on Google Maps. A spectacular adventure, with Peter serving as an outstanding captain and providing outstanding organization. A few days later, we received a video shot by an underwater camera. Excellent service, we definitely recommend it.
