How much does the ferry from Dubrovnik to Elaphite Islands cost?

The cost of the ferry from Dubrovnik to Elaphite Islands depends on the ferry company, the type of vessel, the date, whether you travel as a foot passenger or with a car, and the seat or cabin you choose. A conventional ferry is cheaper than a high-speed one; a summer Saturday costs more than a weekday in May; a car adds a vehicle fare; a cabin on an overnight sailing adds more. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price: we verify the live fares for your exact date and send the real cost by WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

What we include in the price we send: the ticket for each passenger, any reserved seat or cabin you asked for, port taxes, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the e-ticket and answering questions before and during the crossing.

Timetable and season of the Dubrovnik to Elaphite Islands ferry

Sailing times on the Dubrovnik to Elaphite Islands route depend on the shipping line and the month - as a rule several a day (fewer in winter).

Departure: Gruz port or Dubrovnik Old Port

Your crossing starts at Gruz port or Dubrovnik Old Port. Large ports have several gates and the boarding gate is announced on the boards and on the ticket; we send the gate and the check-in time with your confirmation. The airport shuttle bus runs to Pile Gate and the Gruz bus station in about 30 to 40 minutes and suits a light bag; a private car is simpler for a family, a late arrival or an apartment on a steep street, and for day trips to Kotor, Mostar or Ston with border crossings.

• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Gruz port or Dubrovnik Old Port; some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
• Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your hotel in Dubrovnik to the port on request
• Ask us which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
• Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure

Arrival is at Lopud harbour (with stops at Kolocep and Sipan). The Elaphite Islands of Kolocep, Lopud and Sipan are a car-free island chain off Dubrovnik, reached by ferry in under an hour. We can have a Haqqi Tours driver at the pier with your name, or tell you the best way to your accommodation by bus or taxi. If you brought the car, the road out of the port is signposted for the main routes.

Onward journeys from Elaphite Islands - another ferry, a flight or a train the same day - can be added to the booking; let us know and we time the crossing to fit.
