★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 38 reviews · from $104Our pick

Meet your English-speaking guide at Gruž Harbor and ferry to Koločep for a moderate 8-kilometer hike through myrtle, laurel, thyme, and rosemary. Guides such as Željka, Jane, Maura, and Mare lead small groups to quiet swimming spots and cliff-jump sites. Bring sturdy shoes, 1.5 liters of water, sun protection, and cash for an optional local lunch.

“This was definitely the highlight of our entire trip! Kolocep island is absolutely gorgeous and we had a wonderful guide who showed us around the lesser known parts of the island. For the main part of the hike our small group encountered under five people and it was a very refreshing break from the very busy old town in Dubrovnik. Our guide brought us to this really lovely family run restaurant where we had one of the best meals on our trip. It was definitely a 10/10 experience for us!”
