Just off the coast of Dubrovnik, the Elaphite Islands are an oasis of citrus plantations, pine-clad hills and sandy beaches. See these Instagrammable isles aboard a 3-hour catamaran cruise complete with all-inclusive drinks, snacks and swim stops. It's a top way to spend the day in Croatia.

After pick-up at your hotel, we'll head for the port of Gruz and cast off on our island-hopping adventure. There are more than 1,000 islands in Croatia – but few are more beautiful than the 13 Elaphite Islands. We'll sail into a selection of the best bays as you indulge in free-flowing beer, wine and soft drinks from the bar. There'll be fresh fruit and snacks, too.

Top up your tan on deck, and we'll drop anchor in coves that beckon you in to swim. Cool off with a dip or simply stay on board for a snooze in the sunshine – the choice is yours. There's also a visit to the Blue Cave on Kalamota Island. After a few hours at sea, you'll be suitably relaxed as we bob back to port.
