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.

It was my favorite excursions while in Croatia. The boat driver was truly friendly and knowledgeable. The blue cave experience is unique. The water was clear and cool. The driver took us to Vis for lunch. Great food. Then a submarine port. Very cool trip!

Me and my gal!

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!

Great Day on the Adriatic!

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.

Fun and surprised

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.

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!

Just ok.

Emily_G, Jun 2026
Trip was just ok. There were no floatation devices offered at all ( flippers, pool noodle) which put a damper on the trip - with rough waves, even as good swimmers, we struggled. Spent way too much time at an overpriced lunch spot. Trip could have / should have been 4 hours.

Beautiful day on the water

Kim_S, Jun 2026
Great day, great captain (he really got us in tight places with the boat - very impressive) and nice crew. Perfect day.

Best trip to take in Croatia!

Loved this tour!! Boat was nice and clean and our skipper was super knowledgeable and fun! They played music so we were vibing the whole time and they took song requests!

Great day on the water

Erin_D, May 2026
It was a fun full day! The captain was entertaining. There were lots of opportunities to swim. The caves were a separate cost but that was known ahead of time.

Fun day at sea

Kevin_S, May 2026
Such a fun day! Would definitely recommend doing this! Ivan and Antonia were incredible hosts/ captains- made everyone feel at home and were so fun! They took us to the most beautiful spots with a mix of site seeing and swimming. Please book with them!

Excellent Day Trip - Hvar Blue Caves

John_H, May 2026
This was a very enjoyable trip. We thought it would be exhausting; however it was very even paced. We stopped at a couple places to swim, though we chose to sit in the boat and view the scenery. The Green and Blue Caves were very pretty and the small town we ate lunch at was nice and quiet - and do try the pizza. Best of all was our guide - he was very friendly and made sure we stayed on track.

Not to be missed.

Robyn_S, May 2026
Even though the water is cold you won’t regret swimming in the Blue Lagoon and at Stiniva Beach. Just do it! The whole day is fantastic. Blue Caves were amazing. Great guides and very comfortable boat.

I went solo and the skipper and captain were very welcoming. My group was kind and we all had a lot of fun!

Fantastic day trip!!

Awesome trip to see the blue cave and much more, snorkel and swim. Hosts were great! Would recommend if staying in Hvar.

Rob_S, May 2026
We had a great experience visiting all the different islands, despite not being able to visit the Blue Cave due to rough water. They told us about this at the beginning of the trip and said we could get a full refund if we wanted. But there was more than enough to see. It was a lot of fun - even jumping into some rather cold water!

Unforgettable Experience

Gina_P, Dec 2025
This was my favorite day in Croatia. I felt so free riding through the sea and jumping into the water.

Great day and great people.

Liam_V, Oct 2025
Our tour was awesome, we are two mid twenties mates travelling Europe and would highly recommend this activity. The boat was extremely comfortable and the guides we had on the day were great. The attractions are worth seeing and the swim stops were cracking. The day is technically long in duration, but it did not feel this way, we loved it.

Amazing experience on the water

Christina_H, Oct 2025
The guides try to give you the best experience possible! They even find cool things in water for u to see and hold up close...like sea urchins and shells.

Awesome Tour

Rebecca_G, Sep 2025
Awesome tour- the crew was great! We saw some amazing spots and had a great lunch which they set up for us. We could not go to the blue caves due to the weather but they gave us more spots to make up for it.

Wonderful day trip on the water.

Christine_M, Sep 2025
It was awesome. Swimming, snorkeling, blue cave, nice lunch option, and learning about local history. Bring plenty of towels and a rain jacket plus cash for the blue cave add on and tip. Water shoes are helpful, esp if you want to cliff dive.

Beautiful tour of islands

Steven_M, Sep 2025
Captain is a local who not only knows the area, but knows how to handle the boat. Antonia was able to get us to both the Blue Cave and Green Cave on a day weather was challenging. She was a great host who tried to make sure everyone was comfortable in and out of the water.

Speed boat A+, blue cave A+

lisa_r, Sep 2025
A fun speedboat tour out to the blue cave, and a stop to swim from the boat to a small alcove beach for 30 mins. The swim is not easy, but there is a tow line you can use to pull yourself to shore. There were actually no snorkles provided as advertised so bring your own. The green cave was not encouraged by our guides, so we collectively passed on it. After the blue cave, it just looked ok- we were ready to get moving again.
