A fun trip overall. The Blue Cave was stunning, followed by a visit to the Mamma Mia island and a quick photo stop at a small beach between mountains. The Blue Lagoon was the least impressive part—crowded with boats, not very safe for swimming, and lacking marine life. The final stop at Hvar was a nice way to end the day. Tip: It's cheaper to book in person at one of their stands rather than on Tripadvisor.
Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the Blue Cave, the island stops, and your visit to Hvar. We appreciate your comments regarding the Blue Lagoon. As a popular destination, conditions can vary depending on the number of boats and visitors on the day of the tour. Safe travels, Tours in Croatia
Blue cave is just unique and amazing, worth the trip. Rest of the tour is great but can be done anywhere, however its convenient to do with the speedboat
+Music was appropriate to the sailing, we enjoyed sun bathing at the back of the boat even more than the attractions themselves. - There was a big lane for The blue cave, and the time we were waiting cancelled out the next stop, that was Stiniva Cove.
The visit was amazing from the places where we stopped to the delivery of the Guide that accompanied us. She was a very nice girl in glasses.
You will see Hvar, The blue cave, and a number of outlying islands. Each are beautiful and interesting. BUT you should be aware of a few things. There is not cover on the boat for all passengers so if you're fair skinned you may be getting 12 hours of sun on the water. The boat is labelled for 14 ppl but there were 16 passengers including crew. There was ample room but if you're "by the book" you may be concerned. They allow smoking onboard. There is no water available so bring your own. Lastly the most disappointing aspect is the crew decided to change the itinerary to put Hvar first thing. They said we were going to do breakfast there. So there really wasn't any time to explore (we were there about an hour) AND we had to buy cold sandwiches so we had something for lunch. I BELIEVE they made the change based on lines at other places but it wasn't clear. In terms of communication it was limited.
We booked the private 5 island boat tour for a family of 4 (with young children ages 5 and 2). This was our highlight of our trip to the Split area. Marija assisted with all questions we had and helped us secure the trip that was right for us. We elected for the Jeanneau Prestige 34, as it had a closed cabin and extra space for the kids. We met Nicola and Tony at the Old Pier, and after getting on the boat, went over our itinerary and ideas for the day. We first stopped in Trogir, then headed to the Blue Cave and Green Cave, and then stopped at the Blue Lagoon and Pakleni islands for swimming. I cannot speak more highly of Nicola as our skipper, as we was knowledgeable, friendly, and amazing with the kids. We will never forget this experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone wishing to visit the sights around Split (even if you have young children).

Our trip was incredible. Visiting the Blue Cave, Komiza and Hvar was such a great experience. The tour guide Reinaldo and his assistant Steven were excellent. They were always attentive to our needs. Very professional and cordial. They are an asset to the company. They made our trip so enjoyable. This is a must take tour. I highly recommend to do this tour.
This was an amazing day trip. We did 5 islands in roughly 10hrs including the blue cave. We were picked up from our hotel and dropped off at the same location. Our captain and assistance were very nice and professional. We also did some swimming on a few of the islands. One of my favorite day trips period. Highly recommended!
This was such a great experience! Our tour guide and leaders were Iris and Stipe and they were amazing! They knew a lot of history behind each island and they were very fun to be around. We enjoyed this boat ride very much :)
We were picked up at our hotel at 810 am. What a day! We were on a boat until about 7 pm. Kikki was out captain. He was fantastic and gave us a memorable day. First we stopped at a little fishing village in Brac. We spent some time there. Then we went to the Blue Cave-a tourist trap for sure in and out but beautiful. Kikki showed us other caves while we waited out turn. He dropped us at another part of the island for lunch which was fantastic. Our last stop was Hvar wich was just charming and beautiful. It was a truly fabulous day!
