Vis and Caves Boat Tour

We had an excellent boat day with our captains Ande and Filip! We stopped at some excellent swim spots and got to explore the magnificent blue cave! We stopped on Vis island for a yummy lunch! Would definitely recommend!

Perfect day in Hvar

Abigail_R, Aug 2026
The whole day was a wow! Two swim stops and Blue Cave before lunch then two after - all beautiful. Stipe and Cvita were the best guides and made everything seamless. Highly recommend to anyone traveling to Hvar!

100% would come back! Best way to experience a part of Croatia. Best crew.

Sofia_P, Aug 2026
Absolutely the highlight of our trip. Dario and Fran were incredible! Played bangers, showed us some of the most unique places to swim, and we had a blast with everyone on our ship. 100% would come back and do again. Truly great time and can’t thank Dario and Fran enough.

We had an amazing time...

Blake_S, Aug 2026
We had an amazing time and Dimitri was amazing and showed us the best time! The sites were beautiful and the boat was very spacious.

Must do!

Estrela_S, Aug 2026
100% worth it! Beautiful sites and plenty of options to swim. Very well organized and there was a lot of room on the boat.

Bring Cash

Saray_G, Aug 2026
We had a fantastic time and highly recommend this boat tour! Our guide and captain were wonderful, the music was great, and we had so much fun with everyone on the boat. We left around 10:20 AM and got back close to 6 PM. Definitely worth the full day! Bring a towel, sunscreen, water, snacks, and water shoes for the pebbly beaches . I also bought a pool noodle and used it every time we stopped to swim, so I highly recommend bringing your own floaty or use a life jacket. The boat provides one beer and one water, and you can bring your own beer or drinks. They have a cooler on board to keep everything cold. We had a great lunch in Vis For the Blue Cave, bring cash. It was €24 per person, and our guide took care of getting the tickets for us. The cave is short and sweet. Our group all ate lunch together in Vis. The restaurant doesn’t split checks, so bring enough cash to cover your meal. Prices were reasonable. Also bring cash to tip your guide and captain. Hope this helps. Have fun

Nice excursion, not a great lunch break

Laura_R, Aug 2026
Just beat getting into the Blue Cave before it closed and went to the Green Cave after the paid hours had passed. Really expensive restaurant for lunch, though....no great budget options for lunch, no choice of restaurant, and we were charged extra for sitting on the terrace (they said to sit anywhere without telling us about the upcharge).

Blue cave is expensive...

Rebecca_S, Aug 2026
Blue cave is expensive but a great experience. Lots of stops for swimming and snorkelling -lunch was expensive so would advise you to take packed lunch. Great day!

The whole day was amazing...

Martin_M, Aug 2026
The whole day was amazing from start to finish. Made even better by our crew Dario and Fran who made the whole day fun and each stop special. Swimming , scenery and facts from the crew made the whole experience superb.

Great Day

Thomas_B, Aug 2026
Great experience. Guides were awesome and a very good full day affair. Everything was worth it. Restaurant for lunch was reasonable as well.

Perfect day with Captain Dario & Franne

kim_m, Aug 2026
Our family of three had a wonderful day exploring and swimming the waters near Hvar with Captain Dario and Franne. We drifted through the Blue Cave, swam and snorkeled in four different locations, including the green cave, and had a leisurely and delicious lunch in a secluded spot along the way. I highly recommend taking this tour with Dario and Franne. They were excellent captains and guides. Our family had a fabulous day!

Wasn’t worth $125 !

Sam_H, Jul 2026
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...

Gregory_C, Jul 2026
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.

Dario and Fillip for the win !

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

Super wow

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

Best day on Hvar!

Emily_T, Jul 2026
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!

Do it!

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.

Blue Cave is a must

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.

Fantastic experience!

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.

Best day of our whole trip

Ellis_M, Jul 2026
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.

A perfect day!

Margie_G, Jul 2026
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.

One of the best days in Croatia!

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!!!

We Loved It!

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!!

Fabulous day on the water

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

Best crew Stipe and Cvita

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 .

Worth it!

sz6jwwmsyx, Jul 2026
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!

We visited blue and green...

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.

This was the best...

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!

Great fun day

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 .
