Summary
We designed this Dubrovnik cycling and SUP short break for those who love traveling and want to stay in peaceful locations and untouched nature. Daily routes are rather short and not demanding. They vary from 2-3 hours of easy activity. The tour is fit for all ages between 8 and late sixties. This trip is perfect for couples and solo travelers looking to get away from the crowds and enjoy fun activities.
Elaphiti shorelines are rich in history and natural variety – cliffs, caves, pine and palm trees, hidden coves, reefs, sandy beaches… Sipan Island, where you will stay, belongs to the the Elaphiti Islands archipelago. These are some of Croatia’s most beautiful green islands – covered by forests with lots of sunshine and sandy beaches and almost no traffic. Their location is ideal – we reach them in under an hour’s time from Dubrovnik. On this trip we explore them while cycling, swimming, snorkeling and SUP. In the evenings you can enjoy a full flavored Mediterranean cuisine, typical for these islands and the area. Our experienced local guides will avoid overcrowded destinations ensuring you get the most authentic experience.
PLEASE NOTE: there is an 50 EUR local payment, per person, for this trip to cover locally bought produce and services - this helps support smaller local businesses the operator uses en-route
Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival at destination - Luka Sipanska
Your adventure begins in Gruz harbour, and we recommend catching the 4:00 PM ferry for the best start, even though there are later options available. Upon your arrival to the island, we will transfer you to Sipanska Luka and your accommodation. Once you’ve settled in, we’ll suggest some easy walks for your first day.
Feel free to shape your day—whether unwinding on the beach, enjoying a meal at one of the locally-owned restaurants, or immersing yourself in the local culture. You can discover the communal spirit through the game of bocce ball, a beloved pastime in this area. Witness or join locals gathering each evening for a friendly game, highlighting the warmth that defines Sipan.
Accommodation: 3/4*** guesthouse in Luka Sipanska; Ferry: 1 hour 15 minutes
Day 2
Sipan Island Cycling
- 2-3 h
Sudjurad and Luka Sipanska, only two remaining villages on the island, are connected by a quiet road ideal for cycling. You will go through olive groves and old villas from the Dubrovnik Republic. Fun fact: Sipan is in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the most olive trees for its size. The island is quiet and has low traffic, so you will be able to peacefully cycle through its roads, exploring untouched nature, hidden churches and stop at the locals offering oil, wine and cake tasting.
Accommodation: 3/4 star guesthouse in Sipan; Meals: B; Cycling: 2-3 hours, moderate
Day 3
Sipan Island SUP
- 2-3 h
It’s our day on the water and we try out our paddleboards. Paddleboarding or stand up paddleboarding is a modern warter sport that involves standing on an inflatable board and using a paddle to propell yourself through the water. SUP is a fun activity even for beginners and is a great way to practice your balance. We will explore the bay of Sipanska Luka and make sure there is plenty of time for swimming along the way.
Accommodation: 3/4 star guesthouse in Luka Sipanska; Meals: B; Paddleboarding: 2-3 hours, easy/moderate
Day 4
Departure
On departure day, after checking out, you can store your belongings in our secure facilities. For those with later flights, take the opportunity to relax on the beaches or explore the island further. Our team can recommend additional adventures, payable on the spot. Tailor your day to your liking and, as departure time approaches, we’ll ensure a smooth transition to the ferry terminal.
Ferry: 1 hour 15 minutes to Dubrovnik

Customer reviews & ratings
Great sailing experience
Really great 4-day sailing tour with captain Simpa and skipper Ivana in the islands north of Dubrovnik - thanks very much again to both of them! Very nice breakfast served on the ship, comfortable and relatively spacious cabins for 4 couples considering that it is a catamaran (incl. 1 small shower for 2 couples), plenty of activities and opportunities to swin, snorkel, e-bike. Nice dinner arrangements onshore in the evening by the crew (not included in the price). Simpa shared a lot of stories and tips about the various sites we visited. Unforgettable views over the beautiful coast of Dalmatia. In our experience, it is a good idea to bring good amounts of nourishing snacks for lunch, considering that the schedule has to remain very flexible due to weather conditions (small fridge available onboard for your fresh food). Only caveats were that the ship ran out of fresh water 24 hours before the end of the trip (so no more shower possible) and that the weather did not really allow for proper sailing with the engine off. Well worth the trip!!
Fabian Aug, 2021 VerifiedIncredible experience!!!
This is the best way to visit the coast of Croatia! The captain and guide will take you to the best and unique spots to enjoy great views and do so many activities. Super complete program with snorkelling, biking, SUP, kayaking, hiking… very well organised. And don’t forget the best breakfast in paradise… just amazing!!!
