Top Split Day Trips - page 18

This is a long day and a reasonable level of fitness is required. The lakes however are spectacular and it is well worth the effort. Our guide Sanja was very helpful, friendly and informative. Her additional tips for our stay in Split were appreciated.

Our Blue Cave & Hvar 5 Islands Speedboat Tour was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Croatia, and Simon was a huge part of what made it so memorable. From the very beginning, Simon was authentic, welcoming, and genuinely committed to making sure everyone had an incredible experience. He was always attentive, helping us with anything we needed while creating a relaxed and fun atmosphere throughout the day. What really stood out was his knowledge. The history, local stories, and fascinating trivia he shared gave us a much deeper appreciation for Croatia’s heritage, culture, and the beautiful islands we visited. It never felt like a scripted tour—it felt like spending the day with a passionate local who truly loves his country. Simon also struck the perfect balance between organization and flexibility. He adapted the itinerary based on the group’s interests and conditions, recommended fantastic authentic restaurants and local spots, and even suggested great places to enjoy a drink/food. His recommendations were excellent and made the experience feel much more personal and locally authentic. Beyond that, he made the day genuinely fun. Between the speedboat rides, the beautiful scenery, and a few adventurous moments along the way, there was never a dull moment. We felt safe, well taken care of, and constantly entertained. If you’re considering the Blue Cave & Hvar 5 Islands tour, I highly recommend requesting Simon as your skipper. He transformed a great tour into an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Simon, for giving us such an amazing day—we’ll remember it for a long time!

Best experience we had during our one week visit in Croatia. We are a family of four with kids 15 and 11, we all had a blast on the speedboat and the swimming locations. Frankie was our captain and he was great especially with the music selection that matched the vibe of the speedboat. We always felt safe. We did not visit the Blue Cave due to high current but visited a beautiful beach instead which one of the best beaches I have ever visited. Highly recommend!
