Top Split Day Trips - page 2

This was an absolutely top notch experience. I traveled with 6 friends and 3 kids on the boat tour with Simon, who gets a 10 out of 5 as a guide. He had everything covered- he knew exactly what he was doing on the waves to make it fun and bouncy when we wanted (for us dolphins at heart!) but it was a smooth and luxurious ride. The seats were very comfortable, and seeing other boats where passengers were straddling pommel horses with no leg room, I was sooo grateful to have chosen this company. Simon shared history of the islands, the country, and even of his family. He was very personable, connected with us but gave us space to just be ourselves, had a fabulous playlist and took lots of requests from my 17 year olds and a silly group of women! He had great suggestions of uncrowded beaches, so while we visited the more famous ones, he took us to less popular ones as well, knowing we would likely enjoy those more (we did!). We jumped off the boat to swim, explored caves in the water (not just the Blue Cave), visited several beaches, walked several islands, visited the site of Mamma Mia and a more secluded island (Vis) as well as a more populated one (Hvar) which gave us a multidimensional view of the islands. He made a lunch reservation for us in Hvar (as a party of 10, it would have been hard to get into a restaurant) and specified the restaurant that he recommended- one that is locally owned by a family for 60 years. He also told us ways to support local businesses, including a single older woman selling lavender, olive oil tasting, etc. The service and food was excellent at the restaurant, and we were happy to eat, drink, explore, purchase from true locals, hike, and enjoyed every minute of the entire day. It was a perfect balance between exploration and relaxation, and after a 12 hour day, I can say that I came home fulfilled but not exhausted, which is quite a feat after 12 hours in the sun on a tour! I would do this tour over and over again. Don't hesitate to book this company. Tere are lots of great reviews about Simon and this tour for good reason. If you take this tour, you will not regret it.

What an awesome day! This was truly the highlight of a 2 week Croatian trip. Franky was a great skipper, super knowledgeable and even gave us an extra 1 hour stop as the blue cave didn’t open until a bit later in the morning. Once the blue cave opened, Franky made sure we were organized so we didn’t wait for than 5 minutes to transfer boats. The itinerary for the day was well planned and we had plenty of time to swim (sand beach and the blue lagoon) as well as tour and eat breakfast and lunch. Hvar was definitely a highlight and there were tons of fun shops to browse in. The boat ride itself went really quickly and Franky played a fun playlist that appealed to everyone on the boat. The boat itself was perfect - lots of space for 12 of us and a covered top which was crucial in the hot afternoon sun. The boat handled the afternoon choppy sea perfectly which was really important to me as I get a bit nervous… All in all I couldn’t reconnect this tour more and I would try and ask for Franky as your skipper. You won’t be disappointed

Really nice tour! We did the 10:30 tour in which we went to Skradin first and then to the winery around 13:30 and then to the Krka nat park. We had good amount of time in each location. Gabriella was a great guide, knowledgeable and funny! Definitely a must for do tour. Ps. take cash for the entry to nat park as well as for the light lunch at the winery (10€/person).
