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!

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 😅

Although we could not go to the blue caves or one of the island due to sea levels and weather out of their control that made it too dangerous, they made it a fab day and they adapted it to go to other islands instead. We absolutely loved the speedboat and including the music blasting out as we went along including all the Britishpeople doing the YMCA dance as well as some ABBA. The blue lagoon was beautiful, loved the different islands that we visited and got recommendations from the tour guide at each place and a discount at one of the restaurants. We had the best day to finish our trip in Croatia. Our guides were Mia and Lovre who were brilliant.

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.

Dear 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.

Amazing trip with Mia and Danny today! We had a really great time, they were both very friendly and helpful and made an already beautiful day even better!
I would highly recommend this trip, we had enough time to swim, to do snorkeling, to wander around beautiful cities and to discover the incredible blue cave thanks to our guides who made sure to arrange the planning so we had to wait as little as possible. The waiting for the blue cave was really short actually! Besides, i loved the speedboat! It was the first time for me and and it was thrilling but it also felt really safe so don’t worry about it! Everything was included, life jackets, mask and tuba, wind-breaker coat etc.

Anyway, if you must choose only one activity to do when visiting Split or Trogir, make sure to choose this one, you won’t regret it!

And finally a special shoutout to Danny’s playlist which kept us entertained throughout the day!

Best thing about this tour is the speed boat journey along the sea and the Blue Cave (the highlight!)
Our boat captains Neno and Mia were very cool, explained things and had an entertaining music playlist with a fun ride along the waves when we had the chance.
The tour itself could be better organized, since everyone races in the morning to buy tickets for the blue cave than reroute somewhere else to avoid waiting in the scorching sun. We wished we could spend more time in Stivinia bay (amazing spot for snorkeling) and less on the other beach (which was NOT the blue lagoon as the tour description). The waiting time also in the breakfast spot was too long, it's "killing" time where it would have been better to spend it swimming for example.
For the blue cave, everyone takes the small boat from ticket spot with a guide since it's a natural reserve so you can't really spend a lot of time there but it's nice to see.
P.S: All the tours offer the same itinerary so if you have a preference for a spot, read well the description and check prices around ;)

Dear Thank you for the nice review. We are glad you you had a good time on the tour. Blue cave is the highlight of the tour so it is always quite busy there and we tend to avoid the crowds by taking you to some other spots so that you don't have to wait. Also, Stiniva is overcrowded and we cannot stay there more than 20 minutes. On the food speed we cannot influence but we hope you had a good breakfast, because they really have fantastic food. All in all, we are happy you enjoyed your tour and we are sending warm regards from Mia, Neno and all our team.

We had an incredible & memorable day with Pupe and Maja! This was the highlight of my trip to Split. They were so friendly, funny and entertaining and very skilled in driving the speedboat (and doing some tricks). They also played some great songs. The weather was great and the island stops gave us enough time to explore / eat / chill. I would recommend this to everyone who wants to island hop on a limited time. Note - even if the weather is hot, it can get windy on the speedboat so bring a jumper!

Really fun way to see the islands for adults! Played great music and tour even went longer by about 1.5 hours with no complaints or rushing from the captain. Snorkeling was best at first stop bs the blue lagoon so if you have the option to snorkel before the lagoon take it! Recommend bringing some snacks and a water bottle, they had some water but not enough for all passengers. The speedboat is not built for comfort- the seats are odd because you have to straddle a bench. Was even more challenging for another person because she was quite short. Wouldn’t bring kids on this one because of seating. Designed for speed which allows for seeing 5 islands in a relatively short amount of time. Blue cave is gorgeous! Recommended for people who enjoy boating fast.

The five-island speedboat tour from Split is a fantastic excursion that is well worth the money. The local guide, Mia, was fantastic and full of energy. The speedboat ride itself is also quite a bit of fun.

The highlights of the tour are definitely the Blue Cave, the Green Cave, and Hvar. The other stops were less up my alley but still enjoyable.

Weather definitely plays a big role in trip enjoyability and success and I recognize I definitely got lucky. Keep this in mind as you consider booking, cancelling or rescheduling to meet your needs.

Worst boat trip I ever took!
Not sure why there are many positive reviews?! I believe they are mostly fake.
We bought the blue cave + 5 islands tour from trip advisor which had such a strangely great reviews.
Arrived on time at 7:15 am and got to the first island, then the skipper informed us we won’t be going to the blue cave since its open water and waves are high.
Also when we were asked if we were visiting island Vis, he said again no due to the wind.
Why didn’t their description explain that all their itinerary is weather dependent and alao based primarily on the skipper’s preference ? Why we haven’t been provided any water bottles also as mentioned?
This was during our wedding anniversary trip and we could have used these 11 hrs wasted on this super hectic trip on 10s if other things that are more enjoyable.

Wouldn’t recommend!

Dear Thank you for the review. As it is written everywhere this tour is dependent of the weather conditions and there are situations where we cannot know what will happen on the sea that particular day, the waves and the weather are unpredictable. At the beginning you are informed that you have water and snorkelling equipment on the boat and you just need to ask. We are sorry you are not used to sea conditions and sea life. Here in Croatia, which is called “sailing paradise” we always have wind and waves. Best regards from Providenca charter team.
