If you go to Vis - Take the Military tour. We had a very good guide and went on to see the secret military complexes around the island.
The stories the guide told us were interesting, full of facts and funny stories, and something both I as an adult and my two kids (8 and 11 years) enjoyed.
We started visiting some underground tunnels seeing old canons, Then we visited a rocket and missile base, Titos old cave ending with a surprise that really was interesting.
I must admit I don't have a deep (if any) knowledge of the military, but the guide was just soo good.
I highly recommend this tour for anybody!

I and our boys (10 & 13) loved this tour. Bouncy jeep transport, vast tunnels and hard hats. Little facts and space for questions, plus a panorama and some geology thrown in. Our guide harje (sorry, am pretty sure I got the spelling wrong) was fantastic, he had in-depth knowledge of Dalmatian history, and was thoughtful throughout. We worried about being claustrophobic, but the tunnels are military grade and at their narrowest just like a normal corridor. Highly recommended!

They have good and well organized team. We went to Bisevo, to visit Blue cave. They talked about the history and shared some interesting information about current status of the island etc. Their prices are lower comparing to other agencies.

We did the 3 caves tour with Alternatura, on a speedboat with 10 guests starting in Komiza to visit the Blue Cave, Monk Seal Cave and Stiniva beach. It was not possible to visit the Green Cave. We had swimming breaks of 30min to 1h at the Monk Seal Cave and Stiniva.
The 4h tour costs 70€/person, not including the tickets for the Blue Cave and Green Cave. Water and snorkeling gear are not provided which, for the price of it, would be the minimum, so here is a suggestion to Alternatura. The tour is great to see the coasts of the island, but would be nice to receive some more information from the guide/skipper.

Boat trip to blue cave on Bisevo island.
The cave was great, but the transfer was a nightmare. Although not declared as a speed boat tour, our driver thought he had to show the power of his boat and bolted over the sea like crazy.
As we had elderly people with neck and knee issued on board, we kindly asked him to go slower in the way back.
Did he? No, by no means. He started a bit slower but later went full throttle.
When I tried to request a lower speed again, he mumbled something about the next tour, Euro signs in his eyes, and kept going full speed...

One of the best tours we’ve ever done, thanks to our outstanding and hilariously funny guide Goran. We were 3 couples so did a private combination gastro and military tour. Wine tasting, food tasting, military tunnels and speeding down an WWII runway. Truly great and absolutely recommend tlbilooking with Goran.

This was the only tour operator on Vis Island that I found that would do a day kayaking tour, so not much choice. Nonetheless, they were very helpful in communicating with me before the tour, especially as I was travelling alone and let me know when there were enough people so I could join the group (6 others so I shared a kayak with our guide).
The kayak trip itself was excellent, and we started early-ish in the morning and had a gentle paddle to Stiniva Bay, which was relatively quiet when we arrived mid morning so that we had the chance to have a good swim before the boatloads of tourists arrived. Lunch was a simple tuna pasta we brought along and then it was paddling back near where we started (Rukavac) and onto the Green Cave.
Eventhough fairly busy, I thought the cave was pretty magical with this beam of intense sunlight coming right through a hole in the cave creating a glittery, effervescent effect in the water. We got out for a swim, which was fun darting around and through the column of light.
As we were going pretty quick, we had time to go round the island of the Green Cave and en route back to Rukavac and then our transfer back to Komiza.
Our guide (I think he was self employed by the company) was excellent (even though he kept saying his English wasn't good, it was pretty fine) and we had good chat along the way and he led the group confidently. From what I could tell, everyone in the group had a really good time and we finished about 2 pm or so. I was staying in Vis town (rather than Komiza) so they dropped me and a couple of others somewhere where I could walk 5 minutes into town.
I'd highly recommend the kayaking tour (375 kunas I think) as a great way to see these places and see Vis from a slightly different perspective (along with getting a scooter to scoot round the island).
I also went on quick tour (1 1/2 hours) of the Blue Cave with Alternatura and it was fine, although not particularly inspiring. Fun speed boat ride (20 mins or so) out to the island where you hop onto a small boat to go into the Blue Cave. Perhaps because the day was overcast and we were there earlier (10 am) the cave was blue but not spectacularly so. Also, not much commentary or anything provided so you're just really paying for the ride there.
p.s. Once you've taken a tour with the company you automatically get 15% discount on subsequent tours so it would be a good idea to maybe do a cheap tour first before doing any more expensive ones like kayaking.

If you're planning to visit The Blue Cave and have a swim in Porat choose another day tour organizer (there are many to select from). Alernatura are the most expensive one and don't deliver the advertised quality.
We paid to go on a trip to the island of Bisevo with a speed boat but were informed (on the day) that their capacities were elsewhere occupied, so they handed us over to another (cheaper) organizer (but didn't refund us any money). We didn't mind so much about the travelling speed but they also shortened our visit to the island and made us go back 2 hours earlier. Sadly we were robbed of the best time of the day on the wonderful beach in Porat.
By all means go on a trip as it's really amazing, but be careful that you don't pay more and get less.

All boats have some minimum and maximum of capacity. if the boat don't have minimum guests we advise people to take other company or refund the money. Boat "Bisovo" as offered alternative was quick boat with same price for the same excursion. Excursion was from 10.00-16.30 like in every other company.

Guides shouldn't promote political options and certanly not glorify massmurders. This guide talked about comunist dictator Tito selling Apollo-program to USA. What a bunch of nonsense! He even said that communists should have killed more priests after WW2. He even showed us Bofors systems online (my husband served Swedish army and is trained on much more modern equipment) claiming that Yugoslavia had it before Swedish army... Our company was a bit scared of him!

We are said to hear that the tour was not good for you.
We would like to ask you who was your guide ( we have only two guides with great reviews- Goran and Drazen) and have you take the trip through our company ( five agencies on Vis island are offering so called Military tour),
Thank you for your time,
Best from Komiza
