My trip was cancelled due to bad weather, but Nanina kindly rescheduled my trip for the following day. I was not disappointed. Mario and Sara made the trip interesting and enjoyable. Would recommend this to others.

The weather did not allow us to see the caves but the company gave us a choice to see an alternative route or get a full refund. We chose to go and had a great time. Lovely boat and pleasant guide

Blue Cave is amazing!! We don’t generally enjoy overly touristed sites, but this was well worth it. The trip there was broken up with some swims, site seeing and knowledge about the islands and geography. We even were lucky enough to see dolphins. Very full day. Sea was rough coming back and our guide handled the boat and journey like a pro! Simon was a really nice young guide. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves to the max!
Marium_D, Jul 2025
This was such a fun trip! We had Simon (the younger one) as our guide and he was so pleasant, easy going, and managed our group super well. We had so much fun seeing sites and swimming and at lunch. Highly recommend this tour!! It was worth every penny.

This activity is a must do in Hvar! My friend and I had an amazing time and Leo was a great skipper! Beautiful locations, lots of swimming, great restaurant for lunch and lots of laughs! 100% recommend!

Be ready to enjoy a full day swimming and snorkeling
Bring sunscreen and a positive attitude. J, our guide and boat driver was helpful and knowledgeable. He loves HVAR and the natural beauty of the environment. He took us to some lovely swimming spots and his choice for the lunch break was a small fishing community with fresh fish and vegetables. Overalll wonderful experience
Roberto_R, Oct 2024
The day was excellent, all the places visited were beautiful but the blue cave was awesome, the small and friendly group, very good and confortable boat, the skipper Joseph and Sara did a great job, skillfully driving the boat in very narrow spaces and inside caves, and coordinating the tour. And a weather perfect.

Harris, our skipper, was wonderful. We had a perfect day at sea and had a blast!! Several stops to swim, sailing around to various islands. Stop at the blue cave was magical.

10/10 highly recommend. Crew was friendly and the islands were stunning, blue cave tours were a sight to see. Lunch is not provided but the speed was very nice with a padded seating area in the back.

It was a good day swimming in different spots on this tour, we also visited the Blue cave during the day. Harris was an amazing guide and skipper, ensuring we are all taken care of. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hvar. Would come back again!

Very cool and nice. Should know it’s full day — like 8 hours. Also you don’t swim in either the blue cave and per recommendation we skipped green cave. Did get plenty of swimming opportunities on multiple stops. Boar was clean, fast and convenient

They were very unorganised, left late, was put on a taxi like speed boat with 2 families with small children, they did not want to do the same islands as me so because I only brought snacks (as we were told we would visit an island with a nice restaurant) I went the whole 8 hours without a meal. Very disappointed as the driver wasn’t very talkative and seemed bored. I paid over an extra 30 euro then everyone else (booking through Viator) so be careful who you book through. Would recommend booking through a different company if you are in your 20’s and looking to have a fun day out on a boat exploring the islands.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Hi Holly,
I am very sorry you weren't completely satisfied with your experience.
Your booking was made last minute, so I wasn't able to organise the groups on each boat in a better way, I just placed you on the last boat that had an available spot.
We usually do organise groups in a better way and place similar profiles together, but in your case, due to the last minute booking, I was unable to do that, as it would take a lot of last minute reorganisation, the people who already boarded the boat would have to switch boats, and there are a few other factors as well which you might not think of, but that I have to take into consideration.
We are a good company to book with even if you are in your 20's and looking to have a fun day, but we can't organise the groups in an ideal way every day, even though we try to do our best, and most of the times our guests are very happy and a lot of them get to know each other on our tours.
In any case, we wish you all the best in your future travels!

Jay was a great tour guide. He had interesting insights and took us to out of the way places that enhanced the tour. He also played great music which gave the boat a festive feel. He helped those swimming that might be anxious about diving in the water.

Great boat with a large sunbed and plenty of shaded seats as well. The captain and first mate were great and brought us to some amazing swimming caves. And the blue cave is extraordinary- a must see! I would highly recommend this tour!

2 young guides (18 years), started off after schedule and then being stoppes by the police - some papers being forgotten in the car. Nice weather, did not feel unsecure. We where told we where going to the blue cave, but this changed due to our delay. We had 6 bading stops, included nice lunch at 15:00. Our guides did mot recommend the Green cave, but since 4 of the participants went, we just sat at the boat waiting - we should have gone to the Green beam & swimming as well… Our children 21 & 23. Expected more guiding and music fitted the customers. Overall nice trip, but not quite according to our expectations.

Fantastic tour with stops along the way to Blue Cave to snorkel and swim! J(Jay) our guide was AMAZING- stop for lunch in Vis at a quaint fishing village after visiting the Blue Cave was a nice touch. Definitely a MUST recommend tour!!

Daniel was a great guide. The best part was swimming in a very private bay. Blue cave is worth the price but I would skip green cave.

Young team who entertained the whole day and knew lots about the local area. Blue cave was amazing, snorkeling great, lunch good, but a little overpriced. Overall a great day out. Would recommend.

It was an amazing experience, although when we went the weather was not too good still our skipper managed to make us see blue cave. We couldn't swim in other places but the skippers experience of driving a boat in bad weather was pretty amazing

We had a great time on our trip. Our guides were great and created a very good atmosphere for everyone. The perfect amount of time on the boat and stops with a final stop for a lovely lunch, booked by our guides. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Hvar.

We had a great tour of the Blue Cave, the beaches, awesome lunch on Viz. Our skipper, Jay, was great and made sure we had a great time.
I would have given 5 stars except the boat we had was not what was expected by me or others in our group. It was more like a tender/taxi boat than tour boat, and it was definitely not in the pictures they display on their website for you to choose your boat. It seemed they overbooked & had to come up with another boat.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Hi Vickie,
Thank you for your feedback and for bringing our attention to this
.
We uploaded photos of all the boat options on our website and here on Viator, so this won't happen in the future.
We wish you the best in all your future travels!
Eshaan_P, Jun 2024
The tour itself was great, though he could’ve gone a little lighter on the choppy waters. I docked one star because the web and in-person description says blue cave is cash only but that’s not true! We went for a stressful last minute search for enough cash only for them to accept card.
