Top Split Day Trips

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.

Great day out. Blue caves were fantastic and enjoyed some of the smaller islands. Luka was fantastic, very knowledgeable guide and knew where all the best spots were and had some great local recommendations on the islands. Great skipper, good vibes and good company. If you’re looking for a great day out sightseeing at an easy pace, this is perfect.

Luka was an excellent guide, really informative and helpful. Tour starts with a visit to a town where you can either go for an optional dip at a river beach (bring a bathing suit if you want to do this) or explore the town (where there is a fortress you can visit). You then proceed to take a brief boat ride to Krka National Park. The waterfalls are really beautiful. The water in the rivers is so incredibly clear that you can easily see the fish and the riverbed at the bottom. There are some lunch kiosks available at the national park. Last stop is a Croatian wine and cheese tasting. The dessert wine in particular was incredible. Overall, a really nice and convenient day trip outside of Split. The countryside on the way to the national park is beautiful in its own desolate way. And the national park itself has some incredibly pleasant walks to do. You could probably survive with flip flops if needed, though I might recommend comfortable shoes for walking.
