Ferry from Dubrovnik to Lokrum

Located just a stone's throw from the historic Old Town, the island of Lokrum is a popular summer getaway for locals and tourists alike. It's an island known for its turquoise waters, peacocks and botanical gardens.

The boat ride to Lokrum takes around 15 minutes (available only from April to November). Buy your tickets near the boat departure point (Old Town harbour) on the day of departure or online (adult ticket is €30, kids from 5-18 pay €5).

Where to embark the ferry to Lokrum

Ferry to Lokrum departs frequently (every hour or half an hour - depending on the season) from the Old Town port and docks in the port of Portoc on the northern side of the island. From there you can reach every corner of Lokrum island walking along the paths.

It's easy to reach the Old Town harbour once you are in the Old Town. You need to reach the City Bell tower, walk through the gate next to it, then turn right and you'll be in the port. 👍 Our Most Loved Dubrovnik Activities!

To reach Old Town from other parts of Dubrovnik such as Gruz, Lapad or Babin Kuk, take one of many city buses which all runs to Pile - the western entrance to the Old Town.

From both St Joseph boutique hotel and Prijeko Palace you can easily walk to the departure point of boat ferry to Lokrum.

We must admit that we prefer visiting the island of Lopud (one of the Elaphiti Islands, northwest of Dubrovnik) over Lokrum. We love its sandy beaches, and it's more affordable to visit. Last year, we went there and enjoyed swimming and sunbathing. 👍 See 16 ideas for island-hopping from Dubrovnik!
