Great value for the money! You see A LOT! Love the lunch break in between stops. The Blue Cave is amazing and you get good swimming stops to cool off! The crew we had was super friendly and brought urchins for us to hold. This is a great way to see the islands!

This was one of my favorite excursions on our trip in Croatia. Fran and Dario were our tour guides for the day. They played music the whole day and kept us laughing. We stopped at 3 different beaches, snorkels and masks were provided to explore the water, the water was the most beautiful blue color and completely clear. We went to the Blue cave and paid for a smaller boat to take us inside. It was a quick stop, but definitely worth seeing! The lunch spot in Vis had fantastic food. We made it back to Hvar right before sunset. Would highly recommend this tour!

Blue cave/Vis

Erika_T, Oct 2026
Dario and Ivola are great guides! They provided a fun experience and clearly love what they do and love sharing the history and beauty of the Hvar-surrounding islands. A beautiful day!

Bucket List Day!

Emily_A, Sept 2026
Great mix of activities and chillin' on the boat. The Blue Cave was truly surreal, and swimming in the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea was a bucket list item. Our guides, Dario and Fran, were super awesome and made us all feel taken care of. So, so fun!!

Great Day on the Water

Bethann_P, Sept 2026
Great day on the water! Bring cash for cave, stops, and tip. We brought an extra water and beer. Blue cave was great. Multiple stops for swimming. Water was chilly but it was Sept 29th so expected. Lunch in Vis was great. Dario and Fran were awesome hosts. We didn’t end up using towels but some did. Bring your own.

We had such a great day...

Aaron_M, Sept 2026
We had such a great day with Dario! It helped having an experienced captain who was able to navigate best stops and timing throughout the day we were consistently avoiding large crowds and it allowed us to enjoy the sights that much more. Well worth it. We thought this was a highlight of the entire Croatia trip.

Highly recommend

Heather_L, Sept 2026
Would highly recommend for a beautiful day touring the islands and caves. The tour guide was super knowledgeable and there was the right amount of time at each spot. The blue cave was closed due to weather but we really appreciated that the company provided the option of a full refund or the ability to reschedule. We still went and had a great time.

Fun tour

Deepti_R, Sept 2026
My partner and I enjoyed this tour. We were about 13 people on the boat. We made about 4-5 stops. We swam at three different stops, went inside the blue cave (wow) for about 5 mins, and ate lunch at an island. The captain and Philip were fun and entertained us. We drank the beer and totally forgot about the water ;). Philip showed us two sea urchins, male and female, and how to distinguish between the two. As this tour is for the entire day and goes to different places for us to swim, I’d bring water, water shoes, snacks, and towel. They provide snorkeling gear.

Had a fantastic time - great trip!

Ryan_T, Sept 2026
Crew was amazing! We had a great time with other groups that went on the cruise with us. Crew was super friendly, gave us great information on each stop and made our trip worth it even though we couldn’t go to the Blue cave (due to weather conditions). Excellent time!

Great Boat Day In Hvar

Dawn_S, Sept 2026
We had an absolutely fantastic day on the water with Stipe and Cvita! From start to finish, they made the experience fun, relaxing, and memorable. They were both incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable, and made sure we had a great time throughout the entire day. The scenery was beautiful, the day was perfectly paced, and we never felt rushed. Stipe and Cvita really went out of their way to make the experience special and enjoyable.

Amazing day island hopping, swimming and snorkelling

Lynn_L, Sept 2026
An amazing day trip from Hvar on 9 Sept. Antonia and Ivan were exceptional. Unfortunately, Blue Cave was closed due to high tides and the wind (everyone was given the offer of a full refund). But we visited so many other amazing, beautiful beaches as well as the Green Cave and Blue Lagoon. We had plenty of time at each stop to swim and snorkel. There was a choice of restaurants at our lunch stop (or you could bring your own -cooler box provided). Beers, bottled water, snorkelling equipment and noodles for floating all provided. This was by far our favourite day trip on our travels through Croatia. Would highly recommend it!!

Scott_P, Sept 2026
Crew is friendly. Seas a bit rough so couldn't do Blue cave but did other spots, all beautiful. Boat handled seas very well.

Would recommend

Marissa_A, Sept 2026
Unfortunately we were not able to experience the Blue Cave due to weather conditions, however, the tour guides made due and created a fun environment for the crowd. Would recommend this company to friends, couples and family. Shout out to Ante and Filip for the great experience

Kabina Boats were fabulous

Katherine_L, Sept 2026
The winds did not allow us to go on the advertised itinerary, however we had a wonderful day on the water. Our crew made up for it and more by taking us to other places and ensuring we had a great day. They were made sure to ensure our safety along the way. I highly recommend Kabina boats.

Erik_H, Sept 2026
Our guides were wonderful. Green cave isn’t worth paying for. Wish we could’ve stayed longer at Stiniva beach.

Book It!

Sherri_E, Sept 2026
We had the absolute best time on our tour from start to finish. I have been on quite a few of these boat tours and this one was just perfect from the beginning of starting promptly on time to our two captains, Antonia and Ivan, who were absolutely fabulous. We got to see so much and even though it was a long tour it didn’t seem like that at all. It was a perfect amount of people, weather was perfect and for someone who gets really seasick I didn’t feel nauseous at all. Word of advice, no need to go to the restaurant they suggest and can make a reservation for everybody in our group just walked around and did our own thing and there are plenty of places to eat and enjoy without going somewhere you may not want to. Also, if you end up going to Vis as one of your stops you must go to the bakery there. I cannot remember the name, but I’m pretty sure there is only one and get one of their cookies. They were so yummy. We are still dreaming of them. Don’t hesitate book this Tor it will be one of your favorites you do I promise.

Gabriela_V, Sept 2026
Overall, it was good. My main complaint is that they booked the Blue Cave without asking whether we wanted to wait 2 hours, since it was a very busy day. Then, because of that, we had to rush. That said, they brought us to different locations.

Nicole_Z, Sept 2026
Phenomenal tour. Very organized. Boat was beautiful. The crew- Inf and Phillip were excellent. Safe driving of the boat. Reservation for lunch was made for us. Bring cash for lunch, snacks and tips

james_m, Sept 2026
was good but very very expensive the cave u have to pay extra for lunch at the restraunt is very expensive a good day just be willing to spend a good few hundred euro

Brilliant Blue Caves

Denise_C, Sept 2026
The Blue caves in Hvar are a must see! And, if you’re taking the tour, Dario and Frane are THE BEST tour guides. They’re informative, knowledgeable, and funny! This was an exceptional experience and I highly recommend it!!

Highly recommend

Carol_E, Sept 2026
Great experience, swam several times in the Adriatic Sea, captain and first mate were experienced and fun, Blue Cave was beautiful, loved our 8-hour day!

Mediocre at best

Ashley_G, Sept 2026
They did not offer the full refund even though they knew going into the cave was not an option due to it being closed the day we went. We would not have continued the tour if that were the case. The driver was sleeping on the tour, was driving horribly over the waves (we are often taking boats and catamaran around islands), and did not offer any guidance upon stops. The snorkel gear was also moldy. Would not recommend this tour.

Our trip to The Blue Cave...

David_A, Sept 2026
Our trip to The Blue Cave and Vis Island was fantastic!! Such a memorable trip! Dario and Frane, our skipper and mate, made the trip extra special, with their very relaxed vibe, attention to detail, and timing our stops to avoid the crowds. We’d recommend this trip to everyone - a “not miss” trip for sure!!

It’s a full day with...

Lauren_F, Sept 2026
It’s a full day with arrival back to Hvar around 6:30pm. We had so much fun and loved getting to experience the various stops along the way!

This tour was amazing with Fran and Dario!

Lila_S, Sept 2026
AMAZING! Fran and Dario were so awesome, entertaining and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this tour!

Do it ! At first it seemed expensive but it was TOTALLY worth it.

Susan_S, Aug 2026
Amazing day. We were lucky to see Blue cave. Sometimes it is closed since you enter a small cave and if waves are too high you can’t enter. But we could yay.and it was cool but we stopped at many places to swim and really great. Our skipper, DARIO was so great. Funny. Perfect English and great music choices for the ride. The first mate was also great, Frane. One woman got a little tired swimming back and he saw her and jumped in so fast to help her back. It was a fabulous day!!
