Caves and a sandy beach in one run. This Blue & Green Cave speedboat outing mixes Lopud’s Šunj Beach time with Kolocep’s Blue and Green caves views, plus included drinks, water, and snorkeling gear.

I love that the package covers snorkeling equipment and the admission tickets for both the beach and cave stops, so you’re not hunting down rentals or extra entry fees. I also like the small-group setup capped at 50, which makes it easier to find your rhythm on the water.

One thing to consider: the day runs tight (about four hours) and it depends on good weather, so you’ll want to be flexible if conditions don’t cooperate.

Key highlights you’ll care about

• Two different water moods: sandy beach time on Lopud, then cave sights on Kolocep
• Beer and white wine included (with bottled water too) for a relaxed, party-on-a-boat feel
• Snorkeling gear is included, so swimmers and non-swimmers can both enjoy the stops
• Admission tickets included so the big activities are handled for you
• Up to 50 people, which usually keeps the ride and viewing more comfortable
• English service, with a mobile ticket for easy entry

Lopud’s Šunj Beach: a simple, real-deal beach break

Your day starts with Lopud Island and a generous chunk of time on Šunj Beach—about two hours with admission included. This is the part that feels most like a classic Adriatic reset: you get sand time, sea time, and no schedule gymnastics.

Šunj is sandy, not pebbly, which matters when you’re trying to go from boat to towel without a whole production. I like this stop because it gives you an easy option if you’re not sure about the cave snorkeling later. You can swim, float, wade, or just hang out and watch the water.

Here’s how to use that two hours well:

• Arrive ready to sit or swim immediately. If you’re bringing a dry bag, keep it easy to grab.
• Think “beach first, photos second.” The light can be great off the water, but you’ll get more out of the day if you actually get in for a quick swim.
• Plan your switch to caves. If you’re snorkeling later, you’ll want to treat this as your warm-up, not your full exhaustion session.

The big value of this beach stop is that it balances the harder-to-time cave part of the day. When you have a dedicated beach block, you don’t feel rushed when the boat clock starts watching the weather.

Kolocep’s Blue and Green caves: scenic time plus real water fun

After Lopud, you head to Kolocep Island for the Blue and Green caves portion, again with about two hours on the clock and admission included. This is the signature of the tour name, and it’s where the day turns from “beach holiday” to “look at that” scenery.

Caves on the Adriatic tend to be a visual contrast: darker openings, lighter reflections, and that classic blue-green effect that people come for. Even if you’re not an expert snorkeler, this stop tends to work because the caves are more than just underwater sightseeing—you can still enjoy the views from the water and around the cave area depending on conditions.

Snorkeling is where the experience gets practical. The tour includes snorkelling equipment, which means you’re not stuck deciding whether to spend time and money on rentals. You can simply gear up and go when it’s time.

A smart approach:

• Start cautious. If you’re new to snorkeling, don’t treat it like a swim test. Keep it relaxed and short at first.
• Use the equipment immediately when you’re offered it. Waiting too long can turn a fun moment into a hassle.
• Stay aware of the boat pace. You’re on a scheduled tour, so keep an eye on time and where your group is.

The biggest consideration here is that cave visibility can vary with conditions, and the tour runs only about four hours total. So you’ll get enough time to enjoy it, but it’s not a slow, all-day spelunking trip. Think quick, fun, and well-paced.

Drinks on the water: beer, white wine, and bottled water included

This is one of those tours that feels like it understands what people really want on a speedboat day: a little celebration without extra stops. You’ll get beer and white wine, plus bottled water included.

Two practical notes matter.

First, there’s an age minimum of 18 for the alcoholic drinks. If you’re traveling with mixed ages, it’s good to know the tour has a clear rule.

Second, because alcohol is included, I recommend you treat it like a bonus, not your main plan. Sip if you want, but keep enough focus for snorkeling and safety around the boat.

This is also why I’d call the drink inclusion a value win. With some boat tours, you pay for everything twice—entry, gear, and then drinks. Here, the drinks are already part of the deal, which helps you keep control of the overall budget for the day.

And for non-drinkers: bottled water is included, so you won’t be paying extra just to stay comfortable in the sun.

Snorkeling gear included: what you should actually do with it

Included snorkeling equipment is the kind of detail that makes a tour feel easy. You’re not standing around figuring out straps, sizes, or whether you can find the right rental shop in time.

What you should do once you have the gear:

• Check the fit on shore or right away. A secure fit makes snorkeling more comfortable fast.
• Don’t overcomplicate it. If you’re a novice, focus on breathing and floating first, not speed or distance.
• Use it at the cave stop. That’s where snorkeling time feels most connected to the tour’s name.

I also like that the tour is built for most people. That doesn’t mean everyone will love snorkeling, but it suggests the day is not just for advanced swimmers. You can still enjoy the boat ride, the cave views, and the beach time even if you choose not to snorkel for long.

Price and value: what $78.44 buys you in real terms

At $78.44 per person for an approximate 4-hour outing, this isn’t a budget “walk around town” tour. You’re paying for the speedboat format and, more importantly, for the package coverage:

• Admission tickets included for the beach and caves
• Snorkeling equipment included
• Drinks included (beer, white wine) and bottled water
• No lunch included, so you still need to plan your food

So how do you judge the value? Look at what you’d normally pay separately. If you had to add up entry fees plus snorkeling gear plus drinks, the total usually climbs quickly. Here, the big ticket items are already bundled, which makes it easier to spend your time enjoying the day rather than managing add-ons.

The one clear gap: lunch isn’t included. That’s not a deal-breaker, but it does shape the day. If you like long meals and slow pacing, you’ll need to budget time and money for a restaurant stop either after the tour or around Dubrovnik earlier in the day.

One helpful clue from real-world experiences: some people plan lunch on the way or afterward at nearby options such as Hotel Bozica. You can do the same if you want a reliable sit-down meal without stressing during the tour window.

Meeting point and timing: Lapadska obala 4 and a tight four hours

You’ll start at Lapadska obala 4, 20000, Dubrovnik, and the experience ends back at that same meeting point. That return-to-start setup is more convenient than tours that drop you elsewhere.

The tour runs about four hours, and it’s offered in English with a mobile ticket. It also has a maximum of 50 travelers, which helps keep things from turning chaotic on a boat that needs room to move.

This also matters if you’re staying near Lapad: the meeting point is near public transportation, so you’re less dependent on a taxi.

One detail to consider when you’re planning your trip: this tour tends to get booked well ahead, and on average it’s purchased about 58 days in advance. If your dates are fixed and you want a specific departure, it’s smart to lock it in early rather than hoping for last-minute availability.

Weather and water conditions: plan for flexibility on Dubrovnik’s coast

This is a water-based experience, and the tour notes that it requires good weather. If the trip is canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.

That’s exactly what you want to hear for an outdoor boat day. Dubrovnik can be lovely, but winds and sea conditions can change quickly, so treating this as a flexible part of your schedule makes it easier.

Also, the tour requires a minimum number of travelers. If that minimum isn’t met, you may see a change to your date or experience or get a refund. In practice, that usually means booking earlier helps, especially in peak season.

Who this tour suits best (and who should think twice)

This is a great fit if you want a mix of swimming, scenery, and included extras without spending the whole day piecing things together. It tends to work for both swimmers and non-swimmers because you get:

• beach time where you can float or relax
• cave time where you can enjoy the views
• optional snorkeling with equipment already provided

It’s also a strong choice if you like the social, carefree feel of a boat day—especially since beer and white wine are included. Just remember the 18+ rule for alcohol.

Who might think twice? If you want a long, unhurried meal, or you prefer a more flexible multi-hour snorkeling plan, the four-hour timing can feel a bit quick. And if you’re traveling during a period when you don’t expect stable weather, you’ll want to keep your schedule adaptable.

Should you book the Blue and Green Cave Experience with Šunj Beach?

If you’re going to Dubrovnik and you want a day that combines beach time, cave scenery, and snorkeling without extra rentals or awkward add-on costs, I think this is an easy yes. The standout value is the bundle: admissions + snorkeling gear + drinks + bottled water, all for an about-four-hour day that returns you right to your starting point.

Book this if you like:

• a balanced day (beach first, then caves)
• a small-group feel up to 50
• getting in the water without planning gear logistics

Consider something else if you:

• need lunch included
• want a full-day adventure rather than a tight tour window
• can’t rearrange plans if weather forces a reschedule

In short, this is a practical, good-value boat day built around the exact things most people want in the Dubrovnik region: easy swim time, signature cave views, and a little included celebration on the water.
