      Boat broke down, bad handling
      At first they mentioned we have 5 islands to go to including the blue cave. They instead told us blue cave was closed so we will go later to green cave which was also closed. In Hvar we were supposed to go to Milna and the captian saif i cannot dock so we will go to have lunch break instead in Hvar itself. In the end our leaving time was supposed to be 16:45, once we regrouped at that time they said the boat need more 20 minutes. After waiting we have to wait 45 more minutes because the boat broke down, which in the end took them another 70 minutes to get another random boat. We ended up waiting 1.5 hours in the sun with poor customer experience handling, and when we finally got back they sorry “there is nothing much we can do about it, it happens”

      Not a very good experience.
      They changed the pickup point the night before the trip. I checked the tour because the pickup point was close to my accommodation, and it was only 8 min. If it was too far, I would not have signed up. I had to walk 25 min . Because they started late, I had to wait 2 hours to see the Blue cave, just to see the cave for 5 min. However, the boat ride was pleasant and the crew was nice.

      Amazing blue cave tour
      The day started out wonderfully. We were picked up in the morning by our big boss Vedran who took us to our boat and explained everything that we needed to know in advance. He was such a funny and cool guy. We already knew our day was going to be great. Our skipper Jure was was by far the best captain. He cracked us up with jokes all day long and drove us to some of the most beautiful places we have ever seen. Our friendly guide Laura filled us up on all the information that we needed to know about every stop and was so kind! They took us to a really amazing restaurant and we had enough free time on every stop to see all of the beautifull seenery . Our day was totaly fullfiled. Thank you once again for this beautiful experience. We hope to see you again soon!!!

      Amazing, beautiful, cannot recommend enough
      Such an amazing day exploring the islands. The blue cave was beautiful and definitely worth a visit. The town of Hvar was also amazing and beautiful. Everything was perfect, the hosts were very accommodating and informativebut left you to get on on your own at the same time - the perfect balance. We couldn’t recommend the tour enough to Antoine considering booking. It’s fantastic!!!

      What a fabulous crew!
      Everyone on the team was utterly charming, really helpful, funny and kind. We had our best day of the trip on this tour and felt we really got value for money. They changed the schedule as and when needed to make allowances for how busy some sights were etc and made sure we were never sat around waiting.

      Blue cave + islands
      Traveled with them at one-day-trip to the Blue cave and few islands near Split. Our company consisted of 3 adults and a child of 6 years old. In total there were 12 people on the boat. Everything was fine. I would recommend you to see these places. The cave is the real natural wonder.

      This company is a scam
      My friend and I booked this trip a day before we went. We were told it was going to be a nice ride to the following places: the blue cave, the blue lagoon, hvar, the islands that look like a squiggly line, and A beach thats voted the third best beach the world. When we arrived the morning, they told us the blue cave was closed which is the main reason we booked the trip. We come to find out that the blue cave is closed because of the high wind which also made the water extremely choppy. Therefore the boat ride was us holding on for lives, it was extremely extremely dangerous. Also the boat driver told us that the water is like this every three days so cave is usually closed every three days. He also told us they know that the cave is going to be closed days before but they still book trips. We not only didn’t do the blue cave but neither the blue lagoon, the islands that look like a squiggly line, and the beach thats voted the third best beach the world. We paid 100€ each for a trip we didn’t receive. After we got back we talked to one of the bookers and she was nice and called the woman in charge who was extremely unprofessional. The woman said that she doesn’t do refunds and said she doesn’t care if we enjoyed it and then hung up and blocked the number. This was the most poorly run company I’ve ever dealt with. Please don’t use this company if you’re going to do a tour. And make sure the water will be nice the day you’re going because if not, you wont get what you paid for.

      A great day out
      Just returned from this trip via speed boat to Trogir and the Blue Lagoon. The half day trip offers a good activity for those with minimal time and who want a smaller group experience. Frankie the skipper was friendly and piloted the boat well. He encouraged us to enjoy ourselves and play our own music over the Bluetooth system. The Blue Lagoon although a bit touristy and boat filled it was gorgeous and offered amazing respite from a hot day. There is a bar which has a nice vibe. The great thing about going on a speed boat is that the journey back, when you are sunkissed and tired is so quick and exhilarating. Definitely recommend this tour as an alternate to a whole day event.

      Did this as part of a SAGA cruise. The visit only takes a few minutes but is well worth it. Ticketing and queuing is well organised.

      Professional- Good day trip to Hvar
      Blue cave is very flexible with changes in dates ( as long as you let them know 2 days in advance). I booked this tour especially for the blue cave. However, I was unlucky with the weather (again) as it was too windy and unsafe to enter the blue cave - so can’t commemt for that. The staff added another destination to compensate for that. We visited hvar and also got to see the beach where mamamia was filmed. Boat was fancy and stable. for someone who has tendency for motion sickness, I was fine for a fast boat without taking my pills. Restaurant that tour brought us was slightly pricey but it’s the only option for lunch for the day tour. We also got a chance to swim in the sea and relaxed for the trip. Will recommend this company.

      Excellent day! Marin was an amazing skipper.
      This was a great experience and was made a whole lot more enjoyable with our skipper Marin! We visited six islands including the Blue Caves with plenty of time at each place. We snorkelled at the Blue Lagoon and stopped off at a place recommended by him to get lunch.

      Awesome day exploring the Islands
      Martina and Jure were awesome from start to the finish... What an amazing adventure and they made sure we didnt wait at any of the stops as they planned and phoned ahead. Very informative about the history of all the places as well!! Highly recommended and worth the little extra taking their first class boat which has amazing seats and is half enclosed for extra comfort.

      We recently booked the Five Island/Blue cave excursion with Jure and Martina and it was an amazing trip from beginning to end . They were wonderfully entertaining hosts and the service and facilities were first class . If you want great value for money and an incredible adventure , you cannot go past Jure and Martina .

    Exactly two Sundays ago I went on an AMAZING day trip to the Blue Cave with Hello Blue Cave. We made stops at Stiniva Bay, Blue Lagoon etc as well. The real highlight for me was the Blue Cave and Hvar Island.

    The tour was well organised and I was well looked after by Kristian who was excellent from start to finish. I would highly recommend booking this tour when visiting Split as you won’t be disappointed.

    We had an excellent day island hopping. The tour had 12 people which honestly didn’t feel packed in the boat. Our captain was mindful of our time and went to Vis harbor first for coffee and pastries because we had left slightly late waiting on people. Which meant we were the only tour going through the Blue Cave and had a great view. The music played honestly amazing, everything from Drake, the Beatles, country and Bob Marley. Stiniva cove was beautiful and worth the swim, wish we had water proof cases so we could’ve taken photos. The blue lagoon was beautiful but cold. Lunch at Milna was perfect. We stopped at a local restaurant with a perfect view right off the beach. Hvar was underwhelming but we didn’t stay there long. The day was long but didn’t feel overwhelming or rushed. Would definitely recommend!

    We had a blast! The boat had plenty of room and wasn’t overcrowded. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Every place we stopped was unique and worth seeing. There was a mix of couples, families, and friends and the staff was very family friendly, engaged, and always on time. Highly recommend!!

    We were explicitly told that we were supposed to meet at 8 am. We arrived at the designated time, at the designated meeting point and no one was there. When I called I was told that the boat had left and they had notified everyone going on the cruise to be there 15 minutes early. A/ I didn't receive any notification whether email, text or phone call and B/ the tickets I bought said "8 am" as the departure time. When I called the number I was given, the person was not understanding, not cooperative and denied any responsibility. I cannot recommend this luxury tour which I paid 250 EUR. I hope I can get reimbursed.

    Dear Rebecca, first of all, we did not leave 15 minutes before, boat this season is starting 8am sharp. We called you and messaged few times before departure, but we coudnt reach you. You showed up at 08:10 and asked if the boat can come back for you, which we told you that was not possible, since is speed boat, she was already far away. I wouldn say we were not cooperative, we even offered you to go some other time. Thank you and stay safe. Hello Blue Cave Team

    Very bad experience . They canceled the trip 20 hours before without giving any reasons. When we called, even no any apology. Since season, it is impossible to book another trip one day before, we have to leave Croatia without a boat tour, which is such a pity.

    This was very disappointing tour to say the least.
    After we got the message the blue cave was not included today because it wasn't for the last 6 days and probably wont be until monday (4 days from now). Weird thing is, I booked yesterday and no mentioning of this anywhere. So if anyone else book this tour make sure to call in advance.

    If you go on this tour, you're in for a ride of a lifetime. Literally, because of the 10+ hours, this tour is 7+ hours bouncing on the water. And this is not on a comfortable big boat with drinks, time to interact (talk not scream), sunbathe or even look around. We were holding on for dear life while our kidneys where pounded out our bodies, on a small zodiac boat. SO to follow the sales pitch for this tour...

    Your luxury boat tour, (no luxury at all)
    starting from the city of Split, (this is true)
    is a great chance for you to see all the popular islands, main attractions and really enjoy day on in style (just see them, no enjoyment is possible, certainly not in style)

    Each boat has seats under the hard top, (hard top??!!??)
    so you will be guaranteed a seat in the shade (no shade to be found anywhere)
    or you can lay and relax on sundeck, (this was impossible if you don't want to swim or fly more than 2m on hitting every wave!)
    enjoying sun and wind in your hair. (good luck enjoying)

    My daughter and I went on the full day trip to the Blue Caves... it was so much fun! We got to snorkel, visit the Blue Caves, and see several other islands. The day was perfect and we had people from around the world on the boat which made it so much more interesting. Martina and Jure did a great job making sure everyone had fun. Split was rather touristy for my taste but this trip allowed us to see more of this remarkable country. Thanks for a great day!

    My family went on the Luxury Boat tour. Once I saw the difference in rubber boat vs Luxury Boat, I quickly realized the extra €6 was totally worth it! Our boat left from Split and headed straight to the Blue Cave. Once we arrived we had about a 30 minute wait, enough time to get a quick snack and use the restrooms. The trip to the Blue Cave was fantastic and totally worth it! After the Blue Cave, we stopped for another break on Vis. We also went swimming in the Blue Lagoon. The water was a bit cold, but we had a lot of fun. The boat provided snorkel masks and pool noodles for our 6-year-old as well. After swimming we had lunch in Mina, Hvar and then went on to Hvar Town before going back to Split. It was a long, but memorable day. Would definitely recommend Hello Blue Cave Tour Company! And we can’t wait to go back to Croatia!

    With so many companies offering the blue caves and island trips took my time to choose the right company for the trip. Went with Hello Blue caves as they had the luxury boat option which was worth every penny. Boat was comfortable with option to sit inside or out on the deck. I suffer from a bad back another reason I wanted to find a comfortable boat if I was going to do a boat trip. Guide and driver were really good and from the moment we left Split until we returned could not fault anything. We only had to wait 20 mins when we arrived at the Blue cave and the stop off at the islands of Vis, Hvar as well as lunch on the Pelenki islands were timed just right. Must say the food was amazing but you do pay extra for the lunch if you take them up on the offer but not madortary. The stop off for a hours swimming at the Blue Lagoon was also great fun. We even managed to have a brief stop off at Brac which was a nice bonus. The contrast between the Islands is great to see. From the swanky vibe of Hvar to the peacefullness of Pelenki islands. When I return to split in the future will be booking the trip again as well. Without a doubt the highlight to me and my wife's holiday.
