From start to finish, the whole tour was incredible and was easily our favourite part of our holiday. The tour was chilled, allowing us lots of free time to swim, take in the sun and views, as well as eat/drink something when we needed, and of course we were taken on a tour of all the most beautiful islands and points of interest along the way. We particular enjoyed our first stop in the Blue Cave and also our time in Hvar. Recommendations from Anna, the guide, to climb the fortress to get amazing views of the island and sea ensured that we had a good time. The speedboat was also very comfortable with padded seats and a sun cover for some shade and there was a good atmosphere on board with the music playing. Some great tunes were played that day! We would recommend the tour to anyone who wants to have fun and see other parts of croatia which are only accessible by boat. Bring a good attitude, your swimming things, maybe some snacks, and be prepared to get a little wet on the speedboat if the sea gets choppy, and you will be sure to have a fantastic time! Thank you to Anna, our guide for the day, and also our captain who expertly handled the waves!

This tour is worth every Kuna. The tour lasts about 10 hours from start to finish. The crew was very nice, accommodating and funny. The boats are not too full, we were 2 families on our boat and the seats are very comfortable. Water is available during the whole tour.
Your first stop on the tour is the blue cave, we had to wait about 2 hours to get in, some even wait as long as 4 hours, that’s not the fault of our tour or crew. In my opinion the cave is not worth the wait even though it’s beautiful.
After that you have several swimming breaks, the water had the perfect temperature and was incredibly blue and clear. The guides also offer snorkeling equipment for you to use if you want. They also tried to take us to swimming places that were not too crowded which was nice.
You also stop by two islands where you have 1 1/2 hours to spend walking around, eating or shopping. On the first island we would recommend the „blue restaurant“, the food was amazing.
The guides also „arranged“ for us to see dolphins, twice! They also came very close to the boat so so that’s another bonus point.
Overall a great experience and would definitely recommend.

We received an excellent service. The driver was very friendly, he waited for us with a sign with our names written on it so we met up without any trouble. He drove us to the ship that took us to our hotel, we had a beautiful panorama view of the island, within one hour of getting out of the airport, we were already in our hotel. I highly recommend it to everyone, 8 of us paid €360 for the whole trip and we're extremely satisfied with our experience.

Me and my friends decided to visit split. I personally love boat excursions so this was a must-go for me. Since it was best rated excursion I decided to try and I was not disappointed. First what rang on my ear was "blue cave", so the name was a reason why we decided to go on this trip.
We were on the trip for approximately 11 hours. For start we went in blue cave and we had to pay for tickets. We were riding on a speed boat which was so cool, and relaxing. The skiper was young, easy-to-talk man and the vibes were chilled. In cave we entered in small wooden boat because the enter was small, bit inside was magical.
Next we went in Stiniva bay, and water ther is sooo pure and seethrouh. We went swimming in blue lagoon. Me and one of my friends tried snorkeling with equipment you can get on the boat. It was great at that beach because we could relax, swimm and sunbath. Water there is also very clear.
Then we visited Hvar with its beautiful old part of city. We also took a lunch in cute little restorant.
We had enough time to have a lunch and see the small part, so it was well organised time. For the end
we saw cute group of small tiny islands were we relaxed and swimmed.
All in all very chilled, relaxing day, perfect for one day of pure hedonism, after tiring tour😁
Big recommendation from me and friends, especially for group of young friends!
The biggest advantage are speed boats which are really cool experience!

Awesome trip! We hired two boats for a hen party but would be great for any occasion! Great atmosphere created, perfect music, drinks on ice provided, fast driving making for a lot of fun but also super considerate when a friend became sea sick and slowed right down... really cared for her with water, bucket and towel! (Bless her) super prompt service, the crew couldn’t do enough to make the evening special! Organised a taxi to the club free of charge when we couldn’t dock directly outside. There waiting for us when we were ready to leave. Allowed to drive the boat (until it was clear my driving skills weren’t up to scratch 😅) and also went above and beyond to return a friends sunglasses left behind in the boat ahead of our departure! Would recommend to anyone and if I’m in Croatia any time again soon I’d plan another trip for sure! Thanks to Marco, Roberto, Antonio and all the crew!

My friend and I went on an all-day trip with the crew, consisting of boat driver Željko and tour guide Ante. The guys were amazing, Željko fought with waves like a pro and Ante was very attentive, ready to answer any questions and give good tips during the tour. We visited Blue Cave on island Biševo, Blue Lagoon, bay Stiniva, Hvar town and Paklinski islands. We enjoyed it very much, there was a bit of everything - swimming, eating, drinking, boat riding (which was really fun, although it doesn't seem like it before you start with the tour), sightseeing etc. I highly recommend to bring sunscreen, bottle of water, some food "for the road" and swimsuit. I recommend the experience to everyone:D

A great day out for my family. Our tour included A transfer for the Blue cave tour, various cultural, swimming and snorkelling stops around the islands near Split, an unexpected bonus when we twice sighted Dolphins and the opportunity of meal in an excellent local restaurant.
Thanks for a great day from the Fisher family (UK).

We had a great experience! We did the Blue Cave & 5 Islands Tour. The cave was closed, totally not their fault, but we had an incredible day. Most tours seem about the same, so I'll address the things that I started looking for after reading dozens of reviews of the various companies.
First, the crew was great. Super nice guys, fun music, and full of information when we asked about the landscape and history of the area.
Two, the boat was so comfortable. So many companies have these seats that you mount like a horse. I cannot imagine spending hours sitting on one of those. Our boat had cushioned bench seats for 2 people each. Zero issues with comfort. We also had a significant amount of shade -- not everyone was covered, but you could be if you needed to be. Also I had worried about needing a water proof bag, but that was not necessary at all. We were all totally dry on the boat.
Third, the captains were meticulously punctual. We were so well taken care of in this way -- left on time, arrived back on time.
Fourth, so many reviews fret about whether water or other drinks are included. We brought water but honestly brought too much. I would have brought a cooler bag if I had thought of it. As far as unlimited drinks, you can't really drink anything while the boat is moving anyway -- it's a speed boat bouncing along the water. Good luck getting it in your mouth! And on shore at swimming spots, we were swimming not looking to drink. Maybe we'd have had one beer if it was available, but we also could have bought one at some of the stops. It's a silly reason to choose a tour.
Our only issue, if you can call it that, is that the snorkel gear needs to be upgraded. They had enough for us, but some in their supply were broken and one of our adults struggled with the size of the mask being too small. Again, a relatively minor issue since we were able to snorkel with the gear provided, but if you have some handy and want to bring your own, I would.
There was plenty of room for us to each bring a bag had we wanted to. We only brought two bags for our family, but we could easily have each had one next to us if we'd needed to.
This turned out to be the cheapest of the tours when I booked, and I am so glad I did not mistakenly think that paying more would have been better. We added a 15% cash tip at the end, which was more than earned.

Perfect experience!!!! Enjoyed amazing views of several different islands with the exciting ride of speed boat. Rose, as our guide, is the best! We were told that there was gonna be a long wait at the blue cave about 90 minutes so the crew decided to take us to another beach for a quick swim, rather than just waiting on the island in the queue. Loved the speedboat the chilling vibe! Recommend to everyone!!!
