1.Montenegro Full-Day Trip from Dubrovnik with Optional Boat Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,212 reviews · 11 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $72Our pick

Review of a Dubrovnik to Montenegro day trip with Perast, Kotor, optional boat ride, scenic drives, border tips, and honest value advice.

“The tour was nice - with exception of the borders. Expect to spend some time at the boarder - which takes the time from actual time spent in the city. We spent about an hour and half at the border because of the bus in front of us. Otherwise, good tour - only suggestion I have, try to book a small group tour - with big group you will miss city of Budva which I wanted to see.”

Review of the Zadar to Plitvice Lakes day trip, with bus transport, reserved entry, boat and train rides, route choices, costs, and practical tips.

“Daniel was a very cool guide who ensured we enjoyed our trip to plitvice national park. The park is big with almost 8km of walk and no doubt the most serene and beautiful cascading waterfalls you can ever find. Boat and train rides included the park included in the package. One important tip: To carry water and snacks to eat on the way as not many restaurants inside the park. Better start early and enjoy the scenic views.”

Explore Lopud, Šipan, and Koločep by boat from Dubrovnik, with free time, swimming, drinks, lunch options, and multilingual hosts.

“This is a no frills, fun filled scenic boat road around the Elaphiti Islands Dubrovnik! We thoroughly enjoyed the day! Our hosts and crew were amazing! We felt safe at all times. We chose not to have lunch on board (however it did look yummy!) but instead had some delicious local seafood on the first island, Lopud. So much fun, jumping off the boat into the Adriatic Sea and visiting the Blue Cave. Great music and lots of fun dancing and making new friends from all over the globe. 3x 50+ year olds from Australia”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 170 reviews

Review of Krka National Park from Split, with waterfalls, a Skradin boat ride, river swim, and optional Dalmatian wine tasting.

“Everything was perfect. Transportation was great. The Krka park is amazing, with very beautiful views and it’s very easy to walk around (the guide also gave us a map and recommendations how to get around in the park). We also went to the little town Skradin, which was worth a visit. The town is very beautiful and if you need a refreshment, definitely go for a swim at the Krka river, it was very clean and really nice. The guide (Stipe) was also amazing. He was very funny, while still giving us all the important and necessary information. He communicated everything through a whatsapp group (meeeting point/time, etc) but he…”
