Loved the boat speed, but that makes it feel bumpy. Great choices and times for stops. Blue cave was worth it!

Great day on the water! Blue cave is as amazing as it looks in pictures! We stopped at some of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen. We had lunch at an adorable little island town. Our captain, Luka, was the best!

Our day in the water seeing the various islands and swimming in the blue water was awesome. Our captains were very informative and courteous! They showed us some of the out of the way places and structure. We weren’t able to see the blue cave due to high tide. Next time maybe. Highly recommend!!

Great tour but not all inclusive. The guides were awesome. The boat ride is bumpy but we did not get sea sick as they were moving fast. The Blue Cave is gorgeous.

Fabulous day on the water! We loved snorkeling in the crystal clear waters, going into the Blue Cave and visiting a few small islands. Our driver/tour operators were very knowledgeable and so welcoming. I will say the seas are pretty choppy at times and you bounce around a lot, but they do warn this before hand.

Beautiful day island hopping off Hvar! The boat was nice and the assistant Dora was so sweet. We didn’t do the green cave but the blue cave was totally worth it. Really convenient pickup point! It would be nice if they advertised an ability to bring your own drinks and snacks but we were able to purchase them on our own at some of the stops

no need to read the other reviews. JUST BOOK IT!
We were worried that with 12 people the boat would feel constricting. NOPE- We felt like we were on it alone!! It was perfect! The itenary, stops, time, music selection- everything was amazing. Thank you!!

A great time with great people and skipper, great locations to swim and eat at, really made the most of the day trip.

Boat captain had a bad attitude. Go with another company.
Ask any question and he rolls his eyes and acts annoyed. It was uncomfortable for many on board and ruined the experience.
The islands and places we visited we’re uneventful and boring with no thought into creating a lasting memory.

We had so much fun on our trip! Our guide was a clear expert but also fun and relaxed. I would recommend everyone going on this trip bring some snacks and drinks (they have a cooler). Water shoes are also helpful for one particular beach.

Fantastic experience - the blue cave exceeded our expectations and the captain and his mate were wonderful. The boating prowess of the captains of the smaller boats are impressive as was our own tour crew👍
Jamie_G, Jul 2025
Fantastic time. The guides were so friendly and very knowledgeable. It was truly a wonderful day on the water. The blue caves were 100% worth it

5 Star experience from start to finish with Captain Luca and Dora! We booked this two days before without reading the reviews. The night before I looked into what was included and also read some reviews and was a bit worried about what we were getting into. We arrived for our 10:30 departure and were placed with Luca and Dora and a total of 12 passengers, all of whom turned out to be a mix of awesome people!
Luca and Dora were a great team and clearly cared about their passengers having a great experience. The first stop was the Blue Cave which was a fantastic experience. At first I didn’t understand why they didn’t bake the cost of the Blue Cave tour into the price but given the Blue Cave tour is run through the government and the way they sell and board boats there, it absolutely makes sense. You do have the option to not spend the extra money on that stop but highly recommend doing so.
From there he asked the group if we wanted to get lunch in Vis with a lot of great restaurant options or wait until later in the tour to stop at Palmizana for lunch where options are slim. We all agreed to have lunch as our next stop. Some folks brought their own food and ate it at the beach in Komiza (in Vis) while others explored the town or grabbed lunch at one of the many restaurant choices. Luca came through again and suggested Dal Mar restaurant and we had one of the best meals (if not the best) of our trip. We got the Sea Bream and potatoes and spinach, so good. It was also far cheaper than Hvar.
From there we went to a variety of other beaches and got to swim and snorkel, all of which were great.
I’m guessing this experience really depends on your captain and Luca and Dora made sure it was an excursion to remember!!

Great tour! We visited 3 beaches for swimming, the beautiful blue cave, and a lunch stop in Vis. Because we didn’t have to wait long for the Blue Cave, we had a great lunch stop in Vis, which had many affordable options. We honestly did not like the stop in Palmizana, which had many overpriced touristy bars, and we would have preferred a stop at another beach, but we still enjoyed the trip overall.
Gayle_D, Jun 2025
Great fun! Met some very fun women that enhanced the party! Blue and green cave were definitely worth the experience!!

Excellent tour. Blue cave was fantastic. The vessel was comfortable and spacious. There is some time between destinations but enjoyed the time on the water.
Rebecca_R, Sep 2024
Amazing could not recommend enough. Pay a little extra for a nice boat with a limit of 12 pple best decision.
Alan_R, Aug 2024
The crew was fantastic and very friendly! The boats are well sized for the number of people that they allow onboard, so there is plenty of room to be comfortable. When in Hvar, we strongly recommend this outfit!
Lucy_L, Aug 2024
awesome time! we are so glad we did this for our trip it was beautiful and an amazing day! Highly recommend
Louis_S, Jul 2024
It was awesome docking at piers, or jumping/stepping off the boat straight into the water to swim up to magnificent beaches with snorkelling gear (and inflatables for the non confident swimmers). Our skipper Bojo was very pleasant. He was superb at keeping us safe and well informed. The blue cave is a must see/do for a reason. Tickets were extra and can have long queues. We were lucky with a shorter 25min wait overall as well as a different skipper with hilarious humour and excellent skipper skills for the cave.
Be prepared, Lunch and beach bars are a little on the pricey side as you may expect from popular parts of Croatia. Everyone on the trip loved what they consumed as well as the surroundings. Well done Bojo and the operator for looking after us.

The Blue Cave on Bisevo Island was the highlight of the day very beautiful. The boat however was too small, over crowed and the ride was very bumpy & uncomforable.
James_N, May 2024
The tour was very well organised with the skipper (Luca) and sailor (Julian) providing lots of local knowledge, history related to the tour and overall very accommodating to my partner and I alongside the other tourist they hosted. A little cold on the speed boat over so a light coat would be advised for May. Highly recommend the tour and the team.
Newton_A, Oct 2023
I was a bit skeptical given some of the bad reviews, but it was definitely a worthwhile tour. The Blue Cave is just amazing and that alone was a reason to do this. We skipped the Green Cave as I could not imagine anything better than the Blue Cave. Our guide Frane was friendly and informative.
The downside is that there is not enough explanation on the site about what's available. For example, at the Blue Cave there are bathrooms, and you can also buy snacks and beer! Lunch is pretty late, so it should be clearly stated as to what time that occurs. Since I had read several reviews I knew about this, so we took sandwiches with us.

Crew was great & very nice and professional and super boat too. I would have rated this experience higher but was put off that we were brought to last location for lunch at 3:30 and didn't finish until after 4:30. Stayed 2 hours at last location and then were back to port in 10 min. Tour needs to think of their guests having dinner reservations and screwing up peoples schedules. Overpriced lunch that was not very good and clearly a payoff from the restaurant to the Tour operators to get people there. The restaurant staff were not very friendly. But all in all we had a great day and Blue Cave was amazing. One other fault was no flotation devices for swimming and no fins for snorkelling.
ChongHon_L, Oct 2023
The tour covered what was written in the description. It was very enjoyable and the crew took very good care of us. The departure and return timings are also accurate. I would definitely go on a tour with them again if we return to Hvar.

An overpriced boat ride.
Just a 20 min stop at blue lagoon for swimming.
A 30 min stop at a bay for swimming.
Blue cave is good and magical experience.
Then a useless 2.5 hours stop at palmizana for lunch. Palmizana has no beach and there is just a small bay crowded with boats which is unsuitable for swimming.
IMHO the best part of this entire activity was the blue lagoon and blue cave ( which combined accounted for a total of 30 minutes). Rest all was a waste of time.
Do only if you have nothing better to do.
You are much better exploring hvar island and its myriad of beautiful beaches.
Richard_R, Sep 2023
The blue cave was spectacular. The swimming spots were nice. The lunch stop would be better if there was more choice instead of one restaurant.
Cathy_R, Sep 2023
Our guide was not very friendly or effective. Trip included water and she never offered it to anyone. At one point I asked her for water and she gave me a bottle but did not offer to anyone else. There was not much regard for safety- we were never told where life vest were or given any safety instructions. At one point a guest slipped and fell on the boat and neither the driver or tour guide where even aware. Little details like the snorkeling equipment was taken out of storage when we got to an island and left in the middle of the boat. No one explained the best places to snorkel or made sure everyone was comfortable with the equipment.
Last stop of the day was at Palmizana and guest were encouraged to eat at a particular restaurant. We stopped there for almost 2 hours- seemed like a long time. All 12 guest were waiting on the pier for the boat upon departure from Palmizana-when the boat returned there were wet bathing suits airing out- looks like they went swimming. I have booked through Viator for years first time I am disappointed.

Blue cave was amazing. Other stops were ok. Young and pleasant crew. Chance to interactive with diverse guests was enjoyable.
Connie_N, Sep 2023
They made the very most of the not so great weather and made sure we got through the blue cave which was amazing. Boat was excellent and very nice ride.
