Mljet National Park Day Trip from Dubrovnik

I went on three tours with Super Tours and I felt this one was a little disorganized long waiting time for bus and boat, meaning less time to explore the national park. If you have the time, I highly recommend going to Mljet NP for two days because one day isn't enough! It's a beautiful island and I wish we would have had time to do some hiking.

WORST TOUR EVER! The service that we received from the tour company Super Tours was and continues to be shocking. Firstly the tour we booked got cancelled the afternoon prior to the trip, I understand that this can happen, however the tour company didn't even call me to notify of the cancellation, I found out when I rang at 4:30pm to confirm it was still on. I then rescheduled the tour a few days, and on the day of the tour the transfer was 45 minutes late to pick us up. Yet again I had to call the tour company after waiting 30 minutes to query why there was a delay. We then got to the boat and met our tour guide who had not yet pre-purchased any of the groups tickets. We didnt get any tour guiding or commentary on the entire 2 hour ferry trip, and what we got on the island was not much better. There was only 2 couples on our tour and they were just as shocked as we were, to be honest the best part of the tour was meeting them. The rest of the day was no better than if we had planned the trip ourselves. The guide as nice, but didnt know much about Mljet, and we just thought it was a waste of money, When we got back to Dubrovnik we waited another 25 minutes for our transfer to pick us up. We were the last ones on the port waiting after arrival for a car! I then rang Super Tours to explain and complain about our experience the following day. They said they would look into it and get back to me the next day....you guessed it no call back. I rang a week later and they said they had no record of my prior call, so they said they would call me back the following day....yep you got it they never called me back! I cant wait to call them a third time! NEVER USE THIS COMPANY!

There were only three participants in this tour. The young guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. All organizational aspects worked well, with a fast catamaran ride to and from Dubrovnik, motor van to the lakes, motor boat to the Island of St Mary with a break to look around, another boat to the meeting place of the two lakes, three hours to do one's own thing and then van and ferry back to Dubrovnik. It is an excursion well worth doing.

You would do better to simply arrange your own transport to Mljet. - First of all, the catamaran that takes you to Mljet is, essentially, a public ferry shared with dozens of people. It takes two hours to get to Mljet, partly because the ferry makes several stops. - Our tour guide a middle-aged blonde woman lacked clarity and did little beyond take us from one point to another. Entirely devoid of the minimum degree of charm usually associated with tour guides, she had no interest in telling us anything about Mljet. - There was no consideration made to when we were supposed to have lunch. - Planning was minimal and haphazard. Transport was generally less than ideal. We had to wait for a boat, stand in a van and walk for 1.5 km to reach a bus. - The itinerary wasn't well-planned. I would have preferred to spend more time in the stop after St Mary's Islands, where we could have swum and relaxed. Instead that was cut short to allow time for the final stop near the pier, where there was less to do. In short, this trip was simply not worth its cost. Go to Mljet on your own! You'd enjoy it much better that way. If you've already been spending some time in Croatia, the scenery in Mljet may not be as mind-blowing, but it's quieter and more serene, so I think you are better off going there on your own schedule, rather than joining this overpriced, poorly planned, rushed and uncomfortable tour.

This was a beautiful area to visit and worth the trip. However our guide did not do any of the narrative or explaining of the trip as was advertised in the description of the tour. Basically he got us from one mode of transportation to the next and then vanished in between times. We were left to explore and learn about the area by either reading the posted material or tagging along with another tour group. We were late from the ferry and missed our first transportation connection and had to hang around for 40 minutes until the next one arrived. During that time other tour groups came and got on transportation before us. Obviously they had a tour guide that was organized. We had to wait for him to show up for the return ferry and we were boarded last. The tour guide fell asleep on the ferry and we had to find our own driver to return us to the hotel. Basically a lovey trip but a lousy tour guide.
