Your first stop is Koločep Island, where you’ll have around 1 hour 15 minutes to soak in the natural beauty. Join a guided hike through peaceful trails or visit a family-owned farm to sample local produce. Next, continue to Suđurađ village on Šipan Island, where you’ll again have 1 hour 15 minutes to explore. Discover the historic Skočibuha family mansion, opt for a wine-tasting experience, or simply unwind in the tranquil surroundings.
The final and longest stop is Lopud Island, where you’ll enjoy 3 hours of free time.

Relax at Sunj Beach & cruise back
A golf cart ride takes you to the other side of Lopud Island to Šunj Beach, one of the few sandy beaches in the region. With shallow waters and a relaxed vibe, it’s perfect for both swimmers and non-swimmers. You’ll also find restaurants tucked into the wooded area above the beach, ideal for a laid-back break.
