For independent travel from Dubrovnik to the Elaphiti Islands, the main public passenger service is Jadrolinija Line 807, connecting Dubrovnik with Koločep, Lopud and Suđurađ on Šipan. A separate Jadrolinija Line 831 ferry also serves Lopud and Suđurađ and is the relevant option if you need to take a vehicle to Šipan.
Scheduled public ferries depart from Dubrovnik Ferry Port in Gruž, not the Old City Port. TP Line 9807 provides another passenger connection to Šipanska Luka on Šipan, which is a different port from Suđurađ.

Visiting all three Elaphiti Islands in one day
It is possible to combine Koločep, Lopud and Šipan in one day using public transport, but the timetable needs to line up well and some stops will be short. For most independent travelers, a one-island or two-island day is more relaxed.
If you want to visit all three islands without planning multiple public-ferry departures, a commercial Elaphiti cruise is usually easier. These excursions are different from scheduled public transport: they are sightseeing trips with fixed stops and are not a substitute for a one-way ferry if you are checking into accommodation.

Which Elaphiti island should you visit?
Lopud
The classic Dubrovnik beach-day island, with a car-free village, waterfront promenade and Šunj Beach.
- Best for: beach day, families, swimming
- Transport: car-free
- Main public ferry: Line 807
Šipan
The largest Elaphiti island, with two important ferry ports and more room to explore.
- Jadrolinija port: Suđurađ
- TP Line port: Šipanska Luka
- Vehicle option: Line 831 to Suđurađ
Koločep
The closest of the three main islands to Dubrovnik and an easy choice for a shorter, quiet island escape.
- Best for: swimming, coves, short walks
- Transport: pedestrian-focused and car-free for visitors
- Main public ferry: Line 807
Elaphite Islands Cruise from Dubrovnik by Karaka
Cruise the Elaphiti Islands aboard Dubrovnik’s Karaka replica ship.
This seasonal sightseeing cruise is an experience-led alternative to scheduled public transport, combining several island stops in one day.
Simple day-trip planning
The public ferry is best for a relaxed one-island day. Two islands can work on dates with favorable connections; trying all three independently usually means spending a significant part of the day watching the clock.
- Lopud: best simple beach day.
- Koločep: shortest sea journey and a quiet walk/swim day.
- Šipan: best if you want a larger island, villages and a slower pace.
All Inclusive Private Boat Tour To Elaphiti Islands
Explore the Elaphiti Islands from Dubrovnik without timetable stress.
A private speedboat is a flexible option if you want to combine several islands, swim stops and sightseeing without coordinating multiple public-ferry departures.
