“The whole trip was so great! The islands were nice, with the last one being the best because of the lovely sandy beach. In truth, the trip was made special because of the crew. They honestly went above and beyond to ensure that everyone was well taken care of. They were all so kind, and unfortunately I did not get all their names but Emily and Brožo (I think that’s how it’s spelled), who was the captain, were the absolute best. I can’t recommend this experience enough. This was definitely one of the highlights of my trip!Read more”

“Excellent trip. Tour was very well organised, including hotel pick up/drop off. Lunch was delicious and, to be honest, I wasn't expecting much. All of the crew onboard were welcoming and friendly and provided juice and snacks. The Islands are beautiful. I didn't do any swimming but you don't have to to enjoy it. Lopud is the best (so you spend more time there). The other two don't offer as much but it's nice to relax and enjoy the views.”
