How much does the ferry from Dubrovnik to Lokrum cost?

Ferry prices from Dubrovnik to Lokrum move with the season and the vessel: the same crossing can cost a fraction on the conventional ferry in April of what the high-speed boat costs on an August weekend. Rather than quote a figure that will be wrong next week, we look up the fare for the day you want to sail and send it on WhatsApp before you decide.

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 Lokrum ferry

Sailing times on the Dubrovnik to Lokrum route depend on the shipping line and the month - as a rule every 30 minutes, April-October. Morning departures are generally the calmest and the most reliable; the last sailing of the day is the one to avoid if you have an onward connection. We choose the sailing to fit your plan and tell you the check-in time at Dubrovnik Old Port.

If a sailing is cancelled by the shipping line for weather, you are rebooked on the next available or refunded; our WhatsApp desk handles that for you on the day.

Departure: Dubrovnik Old Port

Your crossing starts at 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 Dubrovnik Old Port; some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
• Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from your accommodation 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: Lokrum island port

You step off at Lokrum island port. Taxis and buses meet the boats. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet the ferry and take you to the door of your hotel.

Arriving late? We note your arrival and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the ferry, so a delay costs you nothing.
