The stops were glorious, a lot less busy at the end of October, especially Hvar. Still some shops and restaurants were open, weather still nice. Nice enough ttwmperature to take a swim and snorkle in the blue lagoon. A big recommendation, this trip would've been so much more dull if we had another skipper, so if you want to make a trip ask for Mate and Mary!!Written October 26, 2024

Mario, our skipper, was great! Taking us over the waves created by other boats at high speed was a lot of fun! Had the tour on a great day weather-wise so was able to travel to all the destinations - note that the tour is entirely weather dependent and the itinerary can be changed for high waves and wind. You are in a rubber speed boat so would not recommend for those who do not like going fast or having a few bumps or those who can not get in and out of the boat easily. Opportunities to swim and 3 hours in Hvar - all in all, a great tour! We really enjoyed it and would recommend to all our friends!

I booked the 5 Island Tour incl. Blue Cave day trip.
The ride to the islands was managed by our captain Tino, he drove fast and secure so we had less boat time more beach time ;) He knew how to fight against the waves of the other boats and had some extra portion fun factor in the end of the tour for us.
For the background information of our visited places we had our guide Hana,
always keeping care on all of us and had the right sense of humor to have always a smile on the tour.
On the boat we got snorkeling equipment for seeing also the clear water below the surface. Enough time to visited the important places at all the islands. The highlight for me was the Blue Cave, I have never seen so cool reflections of the sunlight as in this cave. I enjoy also Hvar eating there fresh sea food and walked there to the fort for pictures and relax with a Corona in the Hula Hula Bar.
There was always a great guiding for best pictures, impressive local food, additional useful hints to take care.
Thanks a lot to the crew for this unique croatia impressions!

We left around 7:30 in the morning but the weather in croatia was already 26-27degrees. The speedboat tour was amazing, our driver luka made it exciting by riding into the waves to get a little bit of a thrill. Our tour guide vana (energetic and full of joy) knew her stuff, it was a very dynamic duo! We visited beautifull places like the blue cave, blue lagoon, hvar, etc. Hvar was nice but the only thing is that it is very touristic, what makes the prices a little bit higher compared to the outer city of split where we stayed. We definitely recommend taking the tour with procvidenca as we heard some rourist that where lost traveling with another agency 😅

Confident to say one of the best experiences I've ever been on. Excellent value for money, considering the islands that you get to see on the trip. There really is nothing like going 26 knots + on a speedboat with Queen and other good music blasting out all whilst enjoying the outstanding natural beauty of Croatia. Our hosts Vana and Špiro were a treat, being very attentive, knowledgeable and, above all, remarkably fun. I thoroughly recommend you go on this trip whilst visiting Split or Trogir.
(Side-note: Due to the nature of travelling by speedboat, I would recommend not to go if you have any back or knee issues, as the travel between islands will aggravate this. If you do not suffer from these, then absolutely go if you get the chance to)

We booked the 5 island tour as we wanted to see the caves. We didn’t realise it was weather dependent so we chose a perfect not a cloud in the sky day & unfortunately due to the tide we were not able to go to the caves as the smallest boat wouldn’t have been able to gain access. We instead visited some extra places but unfortunately we found we were sat around not really having much to look at and started getting a bit bored.
The description also states bottled water is included which should be a given for being sat in the sunshine all day but they didn’t have any.
It is a lot of money for what it is but the speedboat was so fun & the skippers were informative.
Overall I would recommend if you want to do the speedboat but I when it gets to the drop off points unless you want to sunbathe it’s hard finding things to look at.

Thank you for the review. When you book the tour in the description you can see that it is weather dependent and sometimes the weather can be perfect but the cave hole closed because of a little higher waves. We are sorry about the water and we will make sure that this does not happen again. We are that you managed to enjoy some time on the tour as well. Best regards from Providenca charter team.

The trip went amazingly well. If we were a bit sleepy in the morning, then after speedboat ride and beautiful music we were all up and going and hyped for the adventure. The boat driver Ićo and guide Roko were the best guides. Stories about each island were told, extreme riding with speedboat also took place while traveling from one island to another. Guide and driver were very friendly and helpful when needed. It is totally worth it to experience this trip - the amount of beautiful sceneries, slashing through the waves with speedboat, communication with other boats totally pays off the price.
Totally recommend this trip, especially guide Roko and driver Ićo.

Hana was our guide and Stipe was our driver.
The day started with everyone meeting on the pier and splitting into the groups. Hana was so helpful getting everyone in their groups and we were able to zip out to the Blue Cave. It was busy, so they swung us around to the monk seal cave to not waste time.
Stipe made the ride exhilarating and very funny with his driving style and horsing about a bit with the other drivers.
Hana was amazing and impressive with her balancing skills along the side of the boat when needed.
The trip itself is great, full day on the water, plenty of stops for quick dips and drinks to cool off. Beautiful.
Don’t hesitate, book this tour!

My brother and I decided to go on the Five island speedboat tour which included trips to the Blue Cave and Hvar. We had an amazing day, easily our best day of our holiday. Our tour guide and skipper (Mia and Tino) were awesome and made the day exciting and even more fun. The speedboat was fast and made the trips between the islands really thrilling! The blue cave was the first stop and it was very cool and unlike anything we had seen before. We then stopped at a few more caves and islands where we were aloud to swim, snorkel and adventure. We had a perfect amount of time at each destination to take a good look around and soak up the amazing scenery! Our last stop at Hvar was incredible, we would definitely recommend climbing up to the fort for the insane views! All round this was one of the best days out I’ve experienced and would recommend anyone to take part in this trip, the price is absolutely worth it!! :)

We had an unforgettable day with Mia and Spiro as they took us to see Blue Cave and other islands. The weather was not so nice at some points, it was raining and a bit cold but the guides managed to change the tour planning accordingly so we can still enjoy our destination. The ride was fun and definitely bumpy so if you had back issues or not in your best physical condition, think twice before booking the tour. Thank you again Mia and Spiro for guiding us on this tour!

October will still be warm, but when out of the water and on the boat it may be with having a coat or something to take the chill out.
You can only go into the water at designated locations: The Blue Caves are not one of those, but the lagoon you can.
