Local guide
Every route travellers ask us about, in one place — how often it runs, how long it takes and roughly what it costs. Where public transport gets awkward, we say so.

No overnight stays on the island. Last boat back is strictly enforced — do not miss it.
The cheapest way to see the Elaphites. Buy tickets at the Gruž terminal before boarding.
A scenic alternative to the road. Boats leave from the Old Port in summer too.
Reached by road from Dubrovnik in roughly 2h 10m — we can drive you to the ferry ramp.
Sells out in July and August. Book online well in advance; departures are from Gruž.
Drops at Gruž bus station and Pile Gate only — you may still need a taxi to your hotel.
Lines 4, 5 and 6 link Pile with Lapad and Babin Kuk. Buses are packed on cruise mornings.
Leaves from Pile. Slower than the boat but runs year round.
Some services still cross the Neum corridor — carry your passport even for a domestic ticket.
Border queues are unpredictable in summer. A private transfer keeps the day on schedule.
Departures are from Gruž bus station, next to the cruise port.
Frequencies and fares here are typical for the 2026 season and are a planning guide, not a booking. Confirm on the day with Jadrolinija or Libertas Dubrovnik . Not sure which option suits your day? Just ask Ante.
