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!

Mljet is a lovely island but aspects of the trip were not great. Our guide was wonderful, knowledgeable and knew how to navigate the crowds. However, the catamaran we took over offered no outdoor space and so all were inside where it was hot, stuffy and stale while the beautiful outdoors was going by. We wished we had gone on a ferry on our own, rented bikes that are at the pier and done the trails. There was not time to do the trails with the tour.

Our tour guide left us in the park to learn about the most beautiful things that were there. Screen the tour guides properly.

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._br/_ It is an excursion well worth doing.

L'île de Mljet est magnifique mais la prestation de Super Tours est très décevante. Pickup utile uniquement si on n'a pas de voiture. Sinon il y a de grands parkings près de l'embarcadère à 10kn de l'heure. La guide ne donne aucune explication, c'est juste une accompagnatrice. Nous attendions des informations sur l'île, le monastère, la faune et la flore. Elle nous a juste emmené sur l'île et indiqué la plage et le timing dont nous n'avons donc pas été maîtres. On recommande Mljet, mais il faut y aller par ses propres moyens

Although Mljet and St. Mary's were quite beautiful, our tour guide seemed to lack the enthusiasm for his role as guide. Mainly he seemed to just send us off on our own without clear instructions of where to meet back up later and whenever we looked for he, we found him sitting in a cafe smoking a cigarette and having a beer. Very disappointing- we have come to expect much more from Viator tours!

You would do better to simply arrange your own transport to Mljet.
Review by: Terry B, June 2017
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.

Our tour guide, Anna from Spain was wonderful. She was friendly and energetic. _br/_ Mljet is a beautiful island. We enjoyed the escape from Dubrovnik. The monastery was nice but not fantastic. Our favorite part was the swim. If you're not planning to swim, you'll find the day long and perhaps boring unless you're an avid hiker. I'd recommend this tour only if you have an extra day in Dubrovnik with time to spare. It's a long day, over 11 hours from pickup to drop off._br/_ The pacing of the tour could be improved. We waited on the dock for about an hour in the morning because of a too early pickup. On the island with the monastery we also had an hour when half would suffice. Our guide didn't know the boat timings well enough we discovered we had an extra 30 minutes on the island but by that time it was too late to eat lunch._br/_ Then we had 2 hours to walk about 1 mile to the swimming hole, swim and get back for transportation back to the port. At the port we had another 75 minutes to kill. This was our opportunity for lunch at 3pm._br/_ Perhaps the tour is constrained by the ferry service, but it would be nice to clump the free time together or give individuals choices about how to use all of the free time. For example, we would have opted to spend more time swimming and then eating lunch nearby and returning to the port later. _br/_ There's little imparting of information here by the tour guide, merely shepherding you from point A to point B to point C, etc..._br/_ Also as others have said, the two hour ferry ride each way is unimpressive. You can't go out on the deck to snap photos, nor is any narrative provided as to what islands or points of interest you may be passing.

I was hoping for more information/history of Mljet. It was really just a ferry ride and entry into national park. I would've also liked more information about activities to do on Mljet in the free time allotted.

A beautiful day out, with a small group and a knowledgeable and friendly guide.
Review by: aitch, September 2016
En route to Mljet by sea there are stunning views of the coastline and islands that you would not normally see only minor disappointment was that there was no commentary on the boat identifying the islands and coastline. The large island of Mljet has a monastery floating in the lake which after a short boat ride you visit, views from the top of the monastery are stunning. A further short boat ride takes you to another inland lake which you explore at your leisure, walking, cycling, swimming, or just relaxing enjoying the surrounding scenery and wildlife. Would highly recommend this trip.

Beautiful island, plenty of free time to explore
Review by: Piotr G, August 2016
Mljet was beautiful but the tour was average. We were left to wonder around St Mary and #39;s Island by ourselves with little explanation of history when compared to other tour groups. If you do not like seafood, make sure that you eat at the restaurant on Saint Mary and #39;s Island. This was not pointed out.
Review by: Kezza, August 2016
Because of the weather we only went to the Mljet Island but didn't get to go into the National Park, which was the reason for our trip. Our guide was not very informative so all up it was a very disappointing day.
Review by: Oscar Rodrigo C, July 2016
Great Tour. The service and the tour guide were excellent. Very kind with all the group.
Review by: Lynne D, June 2016
LOVED this tour. There were only 2 other people besides my daughter and I and I would encourage everyone to do this. Last reviews were from 2014 but this was more than worth every cent - go to Mljet ASAP
