To be very be very objective, the tour wasn’t worth $125. The tides were high so didn’t get to see Blue cave. Was charged 15 Euro for a 5 minute green cave and another 25 euro if blue cave was open. The boat was slamming the waves so hard half the boat was jumping off their seats. For lunch, we get a reservation at this tourist trap restaurant with dishes costing 90 Euros. We had some pleasant time snorkeling and swimming but you can easily get a tax boat for 15 Euros for the same experience. Also, we should’ve got a warning that the waves are high and it will be a painful cruise.

Phenomenal day. Out two skippers were great. The blue cave was closed due to high tide and they still made it a wonderful experience showing us different caves that were just as beautiful.
Charlene_B, Jul 2026
Dario and Fillip were our skippers for the day and they made the whole experience amazing. They were very personable, played good music and had good vibes overall that made the day so enjoyable for everyone on the boat. They took us to extra cool spots along the way to swim and take photos, and tried to time everything perfectly to avoid big crowds and extra fees. Thank you for our best day in Hvar
Taylor_S, Jul 2026
Great time, great swimming, saved us money not paying for the green cave, lovely group, music is fun, super nice guides, English, everything great, highly recommend

The best day on our trip to Croatia! Such knowledgeable and fun boat crew & we enjoyed interacting with the other passengers from all over the world. Can’t recommend enough!
Tom_T, Jul 2026
It was a great day out. We didn’t get to go the Blue Cove because of high tides but that didn’t matter as the rest of the trip was great. Bring additional water, a towel and if you don’t like swimming then probably not for you. Dario and Phillip were great guides.
Mauricio_P, Jul 2026
One of the most amazing places I’ve visited in my trip to Hvar. The Blue Cave is just incredible, the color is really amazing and the crew was great.
Leeanne_M, Jul 2026
It was one of our highlights. Kids absolutely loved it. We had great tour guides. Lots to see and do.
We were fortunate enough to see dolphins unexpectedly.

I wasn’t sure if this trip would be worth the money - you can get a taxi boat to a few spots on the Pakleni Islands for much less. But it was so worth it. My partner and I were travelling in Croatia for 6 weeks and this was our favourite day. Swimming, diving and snorkelling straight off the boat, visiting multiple amazing locations, lying in swim shorts on the back of a speed boat, with music playing, having a beer and chatting to lovely people between locations. It was amazing. And the team, Dario and Phillip were so friendly and got a great vibe going on the boat - it was easy for us 12 guests to get chatting and have fun. And if you think you have to be young and cool to enjoy this you’re wrong. There were people from 12 to 65 on the boat from all walks of life. You just have to turn up and be part of it in your own way.

This excursion was the highlight of our trip! Skipper and Phillip made sure to show us as much as possible during our time on the water. The blue cave is absolutely incredible.
Jessica_D, Jul 2026
Great day with Dario and Marko! Boat was so spacious and the day flew by. Was recommended by a friend and so glad we did this. 10/10!!!
Frances_V, Jul 2026
Truly an experienced worth it. Out guides were very honest and truthful with us about visiting the Blue Cave and the Green Cave. Blue Cave is def worth the extra. Green Cave you can see from the outside.
There was plenty of time at each location. Did not feel rushed at all.
Def recommend!!
Rita_H, Jul 2026
Was fabulous trip, skipper was a hoot, and boat was very comfortable. Took us to several spots and a yum lunch on Vis. Highly recommend
Virginia_B, Jul 2026
So worthwhile from start to finish.
The fabbo crew made sure no waiting time when going to the able Cave, got us priority entry.
They had lots of local knowledge and made sure every guest were catered to .

Absolutely worth it! I had an incredible time on this tour, traveling from Hvar Town to the Blue Cave with several beautiful swimming stops along the way. The guides also shared interesting historical facts throughout the trip, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
There were only nine guests on the boat, plus the skipper and our guide, so it felt intimate and relaxed. Cruising across the Adriatic Sea was absolutely stunning—the scenery was breathtaking, and the ride itself was smooth and enjoyable.
Our guide, Filip, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire day fun. I can’t recommend this experience enough. The Blue Cave was truly out of this world and something I’ll never forget!
Henrique_V, Jun 2026
We visited blue and green caves, komiza, pritiscina, stiniva, and blue lagoon. Stipe and Cvita were great, very friendly and shared good stories about the places.
Megan_S, Jun 2026
This was the best experience we had in Hvar! Our guides, Stipe and Cvita were so knowledgeable, helpful and fun! They took us to so many great spots, including the blue and green caves, a secluded beach, and some fun swimming spots. We even jumped off of cliffs and had a great lunch on a different island. The boat was super nice and the other guest were fun too!
Spencer_C, Jun 2026
Awesome activity, great crew and company on board, 12 of us on a speed boat that could fit 20-25, informative guide and felt really safe at high speed.
The cool box on board was large so you can put your own drinks in too .
Vicki_R, Jun 2026
The skipper and host were outstanding! They made sure we were safe and had a fun day. However, i think it is important to be honest here… two hours for lunch at Vis was. Wayyy too long….1 hour would have been great.secondly, the swim to the mama mia beach is very hard. The cove itself is beautiful but the swim is extremely challenging. Noodles would have helped… we’re going to shore is not for anyone who’s not a good swimmer. . After lunch, we made one more stop however everyone was ready to get back home. Don’t get me wrong. It was a very good trip. It was just an hour and a half too long.. I will say again however the staff was excellent.
Lyell_A, Jun 2026
The boat tour led by Dario and Diana was one of the best we’ve been on
There were several swim stops and a mystery stop - the 8 hours flew by, we made friends on the boat and enjoyed every minute
Anthony_S, Jun 2026
One full day activity worth doing when visiting Hvar and Croatia trip. The Blue Cave, a swim into Stiniva (the Mamma Mia! beach), Cold War-era military installations on Vis, and lunch at Pizzeria Kit in Vis town — every stop delivered.
What set it apart were our guides, Dario and Ivano. Funny, knowledgeable, and great storytellers who brought the island’s hidden history to life. The music matched every mood, and our group meshed.
If you’re choosing between Blue Cave tours, pick this one. Ask for Dario and Ivano if you can. Bring towels, extra water, water shoes or equivalent and maybe a water proof sack for the 350 - 400 foot or so free swim to the beach (need to really know how to swim tread water, etc). There is a bar hut so some cash for a beverage wouldn’t hurt.
Alyssia_B, Jun 2026
We loved this experience! The crew went above & beyond, the boat wasn’t crowded, the blue cave was incredible and we got to swim in some beautiful locations. We had a lovely lunch by the water in the allocated free time which the guide booked for us & we got to hold a sea urchin & an octopus. Would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hvar, it was a perfect day!!
Auriana_H, Jun 2026
This excursion is wonderful! The boat is quite big and very comfortable. It can hold 12 guests and there is space for everyone.
Everything is well thought out: a skeeper gets the blue cave tickets for the group, waits for us during this visit. They recommend a restaurant for the lunch (quite good!) and make the reservation for us.
The spots for swimming were nice!
So everything was perfect! Thanks a lot!
Roberta_A, Jun 2026
This tour was simply amazing and surpassed all expectations. Our skippers were incredibly kind and we all bonded well throughout the day. The speedboat was very good and comfortable, and there was plenty room for everyone.
Constance_F, Jun 2026
Friendly and knowledgeable crew; great swimming stops along the way. The restaurant for lunch was also very good. The blue cave was beautiful. The green cave was also interesting but I would not spend the 10 euros. My daughter and I had a great day!
McCory_J, Jun 2026
Great experience! Had an amazing day on the water. Enjoyed swimming, snorkeling and a nice lunch and time walking around in Vis. Unfortunately the blue cave was closed but our captain made up for it by taking us to an old military installation that was fascinating. Highly recommend this company. Very friendly and professional.
Dianne_S, Jun 2026
Well organized tour. The boats were clean and comfortable. Great way to spend a day around Hvar. Blue cave was closed on our day but it was still very nice. Bring cash if you want to go in the blue cave or green cave.
Sylvia_P, Jun 2026
You get a variety of ages and personalities, but we got lucky and met wonderful funny people I our group. The boat Captain and his first mate were excellent and kept us busy the whole time. I would definitely recommend this tour to my friends and family. Blue Cave was definitely the highlight of the tour.
Steph_D, Jun 2026
Fantastic day out! Would highly recommend this trip to everyone. A small group meant we weren’t crammed into the speedboat, plenty of space for us all. Captain and co-pilot were friendly, knowledgeable and made sure we were all safe and comfortable. Had the chance to swim in multiple locations, see the caves and stop for lunch. A really fun day worth every penny.
Amanda_E, Jun 2026
Absolutely great way to spend the day in Hvar! We weren’t able to go to the Blue Cave due to weather conditions, but the crew offered us the possibility of going to a few beaches along northern Hvar instead. For those that didn’t wish to, they were offered a full refund. I opted to go, and had a great day swimming at some beautiful remote beaches I wouldn’t have been able to access otherwise. We stopped for lunch at a lovely restaurant on one of the Pakleni Islands, where the seafood was divine. Highly recommend if you have a day to spare in Hvar!
