About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Navigate1792380 contributionsIt feels bait and switch advertising and unpleasant experience !We got on a small 10 people rubber speed boat. We got this excursion because of Blue Cave and Mama Mia; however, it didn’t go Blue Cave due to weather and just pass through Mama Mia. We didn’t even know we were passing the Mama Mia because the tour guide didn’t say anything. The guide only said the island names and hope you guys enjoyed . The speed boat ride was awful, sometimes my butt was lifted a foot up and down, hurt my butt and back. It was a very painful experience.Written October 2, 2024
- 212anid0 contributionsHvar Blue cave Blue Lagoon magical experienceOne of the best tours we have ever taken. The speed boat was a pure adrenaline rush, the blue cave was magical and Hvar was stunning in every way possible. Swimming in the blue lagoon was beautiful water was crystal clear. Our skipper was the best. Sorry I can’t reminisce name but it started with the letter “M”. Definitely take this tour if you’re in Split Croatia.Written October 2, 2024
- I2546OVemmay0 contributionsAmazing dayThe whole day was brilliant. The speed boat is so much fun (yes its bumpy and can be a little rough but we loved that) good balance of different stops with good amount of time to explore. Mia and Drazen our guide and driver were great. Mia took great photos which she shared with us amd gave good info about all the places. We were unlucky that the blue cave was closed due to waves but thats no-one's fault just one of these things. So glad we did this trip.Written October 2, 2024
- LeeB786260 contributionsLook before you leap!First and foremost, if you have back problems DON'T book this tour! Second it is a rushed, expensive tour. The first stop is the blue cave, which is definitely worth the visit BUT you can travel there from Hvar and buy a ticket on your own. So the day starts out early, 07:15 or 07:45 depending on the season. If you wonder where you meet the site says "at the top of the pier by the flagpole". Well the "flagpole" is a thin sail looking thing with a blue rag on top (which may have been a flag at one time, I don't know). You board your "speed boat" after much confusion. The "speed boat" is an uncovered Zodiak type rigid hulled inflatable boat with a seat you straddle supplied with "oh Jesus" handles which will come in handy on your hour and a half ride. Pro tip: don't sit in the very back! You get to the blue cave island (stop #1) and board the blue cave boat, which is well worth the 12 or 18 euros depending on the season BUT it's not included in the price of the tour and you must bring cash to pay the tour operator. After that you board the bucking bronco express to your next stop, Vis (stop #2). Vis is a cute village but you have no real time to explore. The guide says you have about an hour here if you want to get something to eat because there won't be time to eat until Hvar. Ok, we sit down and 15 mins later, no one comes to acknowledge us so we get up and leave. Now we have about 30 mins left so we walk around a bit and get back on the bucking bronco. Next stop is Stiniva, nothing more than a buoyed off each and we are told that you "can" swim here and go to the small beach with other 4000 people if you want but you have to jump off the boat and climb back in while everyone else looks on - no thank you! So we continue on to the next destination. Forget the Srebrena famous "Mama Mia" beach. Never mentioned it or saw it. Next location is Pakleni beach (stop #4). We had beers on the beach (at 8 euros each) then were whisked off to Hvar (stop #5). Hvar is worth the visit. But you are dreading the hour long beating on the way back to Split. Ok, why am I taking so long to write this review? I think anyone who signs up for this excursion should know what they are getting into!Written October 1, 2024
- MinnaP2690 contributionsKroatian islandsGreat trip😁 Many beautiful places. The ocean was guite stormy, but out driver Nuno did a great job driving us safely to destinations. Distances were guite long between islands. Guide Rita was also very good.Written October 1, 2024
- pamhM9259RD0 contributionsBEWARE - SKIP THIS - GET A BIGGER BOAT TO THE CAVESOn the first leg of the trip which was 1.5 hours. It was so rough and dangerous I seriously thought someone was going to get hurt. The driver said it was not that bad. Someone could have broken their back and/or fell out of the boat and the drivers would have never known as they never looked back to check on us. The blue cave was great as the rest of the locations we stopped at. Then on the way back which was 1 hour the driver said it was a little wavy but not bad. For 30 minutes it was as bad if not worse than the 1.5 hours leg from the morning. It really seamed as he was trying to hit the waves head on, jump the wave and the turn really sharp. This way you slam down on your tail bone then turn hard to one side to jerk you around. At one point he did that, and I really thought my back was broken as I felt a sharp pain from my lower back to my toes. The last 30 minutes on the way back was calm and nice. I do not think I would have made it another 30 minutes being as rough as previously. I have a 30 ft recreational boat myself and have been driving boats all my life. They knew how the seas were before leaving in the morning and should have cancelled this charter. I would much rather have lost the money than to go through nightmare. I would not recommend this to my worst enemy. They will hurt or kill someone if they haven't already! There are no warning or details about this when purchasing. Buyer be extremely cautious!Written October 1, 2024
- Kusher1040 contributionsExciting day on the waterGreat day. We felt safe in the boat despite rough conditions. Unable to swim as it was too cold, but overall loved the other stops. We would have loved to have spent more time in Hvar than Brac , but understand our skipper was avoiding the windier and rougher conditions. The crew were both very helpful getting on and off the boat & providing wind jackets. We could imagine how perfect the day would be on a calmer warmer day.Written October 1, 2024
- MGill170 contributionsGreat Tour, Loved Seeing Multiple IslandsThis was a great tour, we went end of May so it wasn't busy season yet which made the tour fantastic. Weather ended up being very nice for us. If we had gone the busy months we wouldn't have done the tour as they mentioned you would have to wait a long time to see the blue cave and it wasn't worth waiting more than 30 minutes for in my opinion. But otherwise absolutely loved the tour!Written September 30, 2024

- NorthStar347580365890 contributionsgreat stops for breakfast, lunch, scenery, swimming. When they say speedboat tour, they mean it. FantasticIt was a fantastic trip. We were well informed and looked after and the scenery and destinations were fantastic. Our hosts, Mia and Drazen were very professional and accommodating. The ride back to Split was exhilarating and fast and we were blown away by Drazen's boatmanship.Written September 29, 2024
- Brooke10000 contributionsFun day out and the Blue Cave (wow!) 🙌Thrilling speedboat ride - almost jet boating. We were very fortunate to get in to see the Blue Cave having been told it hadn’t been possible for a lot of the last month. Loved the island stopovers however was a little disappointed in the Blue Lagoon though this may have been due to the rough seas the Adriatric was experiencing during our visit. Overall a fun day.Written September 29, 2024
- Jay W0 contributionsCool ExperienceWe couldn’t go to the blue cave because the weather was bad but we still had a great time. The host was really cool and the boat had music.Written September 28, 2024
- kylekG1225HF0 contributionsLiarsThe weather was bad but they put us on the boat before saying we couldn’t visit the blue cave and the blue lagoon. They just brought us around small towns instead for the day. They specifically mentioned on the boat that because of this change they would refund $80EUR per person. When our trip was done they only refunded $30EUR per person. I feel that they lied about the refund amount and they hold you hostage on the boat so that you don’t have a choice. Not cool.Written September 26, 2024
- R785MGheatherb0 contributionsUnbelievable Boat Tour!!This private boat tour was FANTASTIC I honestly cannot recommend it enough - from my initial communications with Magdalena, this charter was so accommodating. Our skipper, Dario, was fabulous!! He was so flexible, knowledgeable and kind - he is what made this full day tour the best. He showed us the coolest spots, took us to beautiful beaches and swimming spots and was honestly so easy to work with. He let us connect our music and put up with our singing and dancing the whole day. We were a group of six, the boat ride was comfortable and so much fun. If I could write endless positive reviews I would! Thanks Dario for a wonderful day touring the islands! 100% would recommend this boat tour and definitely request Dario as your skipper.Written September 26, 2024

We rented a boat from 9am to 6pm. Ivan was our “driver”. He was truly an amazing guide.
We stopped in Hvar for some sight seeing and went up the fortress. Then we went to some islands (I cannot remember the names) to swim from the boat. The water was clear blue.
He made a reservation in Stomorka at Turan Restaurant, which was affordable and there is amazing, fresh seafood.
We also made a stop at a ship wreck and blue lagoon where once again we were able to take a swim in amazing waters.
Because there is a wind daily, there were pretty impressive waves which made the ride a bit of an adrenaline rush. I would strongly recommend enjoying the experience ;).
Ivan was amazing at driving the boat and if you are able, choose him as a driver and a guide.
Also, his choice of music makes the experience even more fun.
