Fun and they pick you up and drop you off!

Fun! They pick you up if you are on a cruise ship. What a bonus! We had a great time swimming. They crew us very personable.

It was an amazing...

hannahrogers1, Aug 2025

It was an amazing experience. We got taken to two blue water caves and were able to swim inside to have a look. Goggles were provided and it was nice to see all the sealife

No show

Harold_H, Aug 2025

They didn't show up to pick me up at the hotel as arranged. I would not recommend this travel service to use. I will be pursuing reimbursement policy.

The best way to see the blue cave

Lorissa_S, Jul 2025

A very beautiful ride around the coast of Croatia. Be warned that you should be a decent swimmer as the tide can be strong. You stop at a lovely port town and get to see the beauty of the countryside

Depends on the boat you get.

Terri_C, Jul 2025

The first part, seeing the caves, was amazing. The blue cave is an interesting phenonenom, and fascinating, but i didn't see anything out of the ordinary in the green cave. The boat was kind of old, but the crew were friendly and helpful. But then they dropped us off at a "beach" for swimming and informed us we'd be going back on a different, bigger boat. When we got onboard that boat, most of the people on it were drunk, and they had reserved their deck chairs so there was nowhere to sit. No one acknowledged that we were joining them or gave us any instructions at all. I actually fell down the stairs on that boat. No one from the crew noticed, acknowledged, or offered to help me. Today is 16 July, and I still have the bruises from 6 July. I was not at all impressed with the crew of the 2nd boat, the Triton.

Prepare for the crowds

Craig_N, Jun 2025

The caves are awsome it's full on madness with one in one out. Not the Idililic swim and time to marvel at the caves beauty. The company run a good tour and keep you entertained for the rest of the trip.

Don’t do this trip

Graeme_P, Aug 2024

We paid for a half day cave trip. At the first cave the boat pulled up behind about 20 other boats and we were pointed to the cave and told to swim into the cave by ourselves without snorkel gear that was supposed to be included and no flippers. For 20 people there were six noodles. We were also told not to use life jackets as the current was too strong. The boat parked about 150 metres away from the caves and the swim was choppy because of the other boats that were closer moving around. I didn’t even get into the water at all as you needed to be a good swimmer to get in and out of the caves and avoid the other boats that were arriving and leaving from running over you. Same thing happened at the next caves but only about 10 people got into the water there. One man was having difficulty in the water and someone on the boat threw him a life jacket to keep him afloat. When we told the staff they kept filling the esky with ice and drinks and ignored us until they had to help him to the ladder with a stick. The staff member and captain were busy watching the Olympics when they were parking the boat at one of the caves. Total waste of money and I’m surprised no one has been killed before and it’s incredibly dangerous. There also is no warning in the tour description about how you need to be a good swimmer to see these caves.

Terrible

Wade_S, Jul 2024

My most memorable experience was the drunk boat captain that hoarded the beer and didn't bring us back on time.

Pretty Blue cave but MUST be a good swimmer!!

Steve_V, Jul 2024

Meeting location was easy to find. Meet on a large boat but then split into two smaller boats with 14 of us. Captain and skipper were friendly. Got to first cave (blue). There were many boats and people there already. Boat had to anchor quite a ways from the actual cave. We had to swim about 100 meters to get to the Cave. Three older (over 65) and two younger (in their 20s) were not experienced swimmers. They were offered life jackets. The three older stayed on the boat. The two younger took life jackets but still couldn’t swim that far. There were masks (no snorkels) to use but not enough for all of us. There was a cooler and plastic cups for drinks which was available to self serve. Most people brought their own bottled water and some even brought sandwiches/chips. We went onto the second cave area. It was the same situation with lots of boats/people and swimming an even farther distance to the caves. Blue cave was much prettier than these caves. Then stopped at a small island for an hour. It had a nice beach area and restaurant. We transferred back to large boat to go back to the original dock. I would say to read all the reviews. It was an easy way to get to the caves but there are also a lot of other tour companies offering the same thing. Also very important that you are a GOOD swimmer (not just treading water) so you can actually get to see the inside of the caves.

Almost perfect

Angie_W, Jul 2024

Amazing caves. Be sure to swim in all of them. The canyon cave was awesome and a bit terrifying but so super cool. An amazing experience and I already want to do it again. The boat was comfortable, the guides were great and friendly. Con: unmet expectations. Advertised no more than 20 people on the tour, but we probably had 30 on the boat. There were no snorkel masks as advertised. Drinks were warm and served in tiny cups.

Good and Confident Swimmer Required to Take Full Advantage

Stephen_B, Jul 2024

Beautiful scenery but when we arrived at the Blue Cave it was extremely crowded and the boat had to stop about 25m from the cave itself. Only being a very basic swimmer I was unable to leave the boat. If I had been offered a life jacket I could have participated however this was not readily made available. The area was very congested with boats, speed boats and jet skis and there were people jumping off very high cliffs. However, we really enjoyed the third and final stop to the small village. The transfers were well organised.

Amazing caves!

Jenni_A, Jun 2024

The boat takes you to caves you can swim in. If you are not a good swimmer this trip is not for you! The landscapes are beautiful and the staff on the boat was super friendly. It is also quite a small boat so it is not too crowded. The description sayed you should have snorkles but we didnt have any. All in all would recommend this!

Bring your Dramamine!

Hailey_G, Jun 2024

Just to let you know they split you up into two small boats which are fairly crowded. “Free drinks” are just bottles of already opened colas and a bottle of beer. Like any ocean trip, the water was unpredictable so several people were throwing up, so make sure to bring meds if you get sea sick. The boat moves fairly slowly so the waves rock it significantly. The beach stop was lovely and the captains recognized that the small boats were an issue. We were transferred onto a larger boat with another tour group to head home and it elevated everyone’s experience.

Not worth the money

Amy_G, Jun 2024

Our boat was 45 minutes late departing. The attendants weren’t keeping us informed. The boat crew anchored far from the caves, so it was a long, tiring swim. Crew allowed passengers to smoke on the boat, so non-smokers had to suffer from second hand smoke the entire three hours. Over all not the best tour we have done.

Amazing

We loved visiting the beautiful Kolocep island and cliff jumping! The blue cave was beautiful and the tour guides were really fun and kind

Great experience and it...

Michaela_M, Apr 2024

Great experience and it was fun but we would’ve liked to know more about the caves and history of the islands and village.

Miss sold. You don’t get what is advertised.

Catherine_C, Jun 2023

Not worth the money at all. The boat was really cramped. The toilet was out of order. There were no snacks/sandwiches as advertised so we were starving for the whole trip. There was no snorkelling equipment as advertised so we couldn’t do that and that was one of the reasons we booked this trip. Also this isn’t the tour operators fault but the cave is so disappointing, it’s tiny and not worth seeing. Really disappointed with this trip and totally miss sold

Rubbish tour

Melissa_S, May 2023

You need to swim over to cave the dive under to see blue cave. Hence we did not do this. It’s a great trip if your young and a swimmer. Thought the whole trip was boring. Stopped at an island and had lunch, but island only has a small restaurant and post office. Really not worth the money. Folk on board ship was very nice. Bottled water was refilled with tap water, Fanta was flat. Bottle beer in large plastic bottle. Only had cheese and ham sandwich which I can’t eat either. Rubbish trip.

Be careful with your bookings

Courtney_R, Apr 2023

They should have advertised that the blue cave wouldn’t be accessible before we booked, or that lunch was actually not included in the package because otherwise we would’ve brought our own food for the day. the hotel pick up was unconventional: we were told to arrive at 9am but got picked up at 10:30am instead and our pick up spot changed 3 times that morning. As two young women traveling, we were apprehensive to be taken to a car (not a van or taxi) driven by a local (who was very sweet but also brought her child with her) and put into the car to get to our destination. Luckily, we’re the “go with the flow” type of travelers, but we each had reservations about whether or not this was professional, and we each considered not getting into the car since we don’t speak the native language here. Once we got to the boat there were other English travelers and we had a great time exploring the islands and caves. We wish we had known lunch was NOT actually included in the price and that the transportation was described to us more properly beforehand. I’d recommend taking a tour to the caves or a boat tour while here in Dubrovnik, but purchasing our tickets in advance/via Viator was almost more inconvenient because we didn’t get the entire experience we were promised (we’re here during off season, so we could’ve booked day of at a kiosk). We still had fun ! But we were glad it was only a half day of exploring on the water.

They cancelled it right at the hour

Paola_B, Jul 2025

They canceled it right at the time, we couldn't make it when we were waiting to be picked up and I received the canceled message.

Beau et original!

Sophie_B, Aug 2024

Sortie très sympa avec un équipage agréable. Dommage ne parlent pas le français. Attention, savoir bien nager pour entrer dans les grottes en évitant les bateaux. Fournissent des frites pour les moins à l'aise, seconde partie extrêmement agréable et originale mais ne pas être clostrophobe et savoir nager pour rejoindre le bateau en sortant du canyon. J'ai adoré mais pas à la portée de tout le monde.
