What an absolutely beautiful day! Our Boat Operator was the very best! He took us to Blue Caves first so that there would be no lineups and we could swim more during the day. His presentation at every stop gave you some history and some ideas to enjoy while we were docked. All the Islands were fantastic, but the swimming was incredible! I would highly recommend it!! Worth every cent!

This was an awesome day trip! The guide, Simon, was great. Knowledgeable, fun and kind. Everything we saw, every place we stopped, was incredible. Also had great food recs on Hvar.
This was a wonderful full day island hopping adventure. Frankie is a great (and fun) captain that made us feel safe while cruising and offered information about all of the stops. There are opportunities on the islands to grab lunch, snacks, drinks and tour the villages. Highly recommend!
This was by far the best thing we did in Split! Mateo was an awesome skipper and made this so enjoyable. He was kind, and patient with all the guest. He gave some great knowledge and also allowed us all to just relax to take it in. Blue caves were amazing! The swimming was a lot of fun. The stops into town were awesome as well. You’d regret not doing this tour. The boat is also so much more comfortable than the other tours offered. It’s an actual seat, with a shield to block the spray, making you feel very secure crossing the sea.
I did the tour with my wife and we had an amazing time. It was unfortunate the blue caves were closed at the time but Mateo was nice enough to take us to the island and check out the entrance of the cave and such. Mateo is a good skipper and we enjoyed his music and the boat ride. My wife's hat flew off and he even circled back to retrieve it. Props to him for finding the black hat floating in the sea and getting it back to us. We also spotted some dolphins during our ride and he was kind enough to stop so we could watch the dolphins.
I would do this trip over again if I had to. Highly recommended! Mateo speaks very good english so choose him if you can!
What an incredible day. The boat was very comfortable and the crew onboard were superb.
I would highly recommend this to everyone.
This tour was absolutely amazing. It exceeded my expectations which were already high! Our boat hit the jackpot and got the boat company owner as our skipper and he was phenomenal. He brought us to areas that he knew wouldn’t be busy to make our trip extra special and enjoyable. The blue cave was beautiful, however, wasn’t the highlight for most of us in my group! That being said, if you go on a day when the cave is closed, rest assured that the rest of the tour is just as great. Thank you, Cha Cha, for an unforgettable day exploring beautiful Croatian islands.
Frankie was a great boat driver and guide. It was a perfect day. We saw so much and it was a comfortable, very well paced and enjoyable day.
What a fun day! The boat out to the islands was handled beautifully. The trip was smooth and splash free. There’s plenty of time to eat, drink and explore. The 10 hours breezed by. Would highly recommend!
This was a great way to see other parts of Croata in a short amount of time. It’s a beautiful trip, The views are spectacular, get your cameras ready. You learn some history about the country and various islands but not a lot.
Here are a few things to know… it’s is a 10 hour trip, we left at 7am and returned at 5:15pm
You spend approx 6 of those hours in a boat, so if you are prone to getting sea sick, then this isn’t the trip for you. The water/ride can get choppy at some points so if you have back or neck issues beware. Also getting in and out of the boat can be challenging for weak knees…
Other than that… happy adventures
This tour was perfect! From clear communication about pick up place and time, to comfortable boat with shade and incredible itinerary, we could not wish for a better day! Our skipper was Frankie and he was wonderful - he provided a lot of information on the history of the places we visited and also gave good recommendations on what to see/do at each stop. He was friendly and funny and made everyone feel comfortable. We were lucky to get to see the Blue Cave, it was amazing! Frankie also brought us to the postcard perfect Porat beach where we got to swim with almost no other people. The Vis and Hvar islands were wonderful! And the Blue Lagoon felt surreal! Highly recommend this adventure!
Our favorite day while in Split! My husband and I took this tour while in Split and had Frankie as our tour guide. To say he was awesome is an understatement! He was the best, taking us all around and sharing really interesting facts about every spot we went to! I was nervous about the speed boat and getting seasick but Frankie drove the boat so well that I felt so comfortable and enjoyed the ride!! He also gave us amazing restaurant recommendations and they were seriously 10/10! With this tour, you really get to see everything and Frankie gives you the perfect amount of time at each stop to explore and really enjoy. The blue cave was absolutely stunning and such a great experience!! It was Our favorite day on our trip to Split. Absolutely take this tour while you’re there :)
A great tour, on a very nice and comfortable boat. Lots of stops to swim in wonderful spots. The towns and restaurants were lovely. A big thank you to Victor, our skipper, for the perfect trip, the recommendations, the nice playlist, the great atmosphere and his smile
This is an all day adventure! Worth it x1000!!! Our drive, Franklin’s was very knowledgeable and fun!
Absolutely awesome day on the water visiting multiple islands of Croatia and loving every minute of it! Frankie was such an incredible guide and expert boat driver. He plays the best music for the entire trip. He was so informative, personable, and accommodate into anyone’s needs on the boat. I read the reviews before booking this trip and I’m glad I did.. Having a shaded boat with the comfortable seats they offered on this boat would be the only way I would want to go on this excursion. Definitely book it, and you will not regret it! Thank you so much, Frankie!
One of the best tours we have ever done! What an incredible experience. Highly recommend to anyone who is considering it. We had Frankie as our tour guide/skipper, he was incredible at making the ride as smooth and comfortable as possible. He was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained for the journey. Absolutely loved it! Definitely made our trip. Thank you so much for a great day Frankie!
Had a great trip with Franky! Showed us different parts of the islands. Also, we were lucky to get in early to the Blue Cave. If you’re going to take a speedboat trip, this is the one to do. We didn’t see another company with a roof and seats as comfortable.
Duje was our skipper. He did an amazing job. He was very friendly esp to our 7 yr old kid. We had an amazing time and he explained alot of things in the islands and some bays. The tour was really good! It was a whole day of exploring. Highly recommend!
This was a great trip. The guide was fun and friendly, and we saw great things. I wouldn’t recommend the trip for snorkeling though but that’s not their fault. The fish here aren’t as plenty and interesting as in Hawaii or the Great Barrier Reef. But the crew really took care of us and it was a comfortable ride. I would recommend them without hesitation.
It was a fun day! Frankie was amazing! We had a great day going different islands and blue cave. He explained everything to us very clearly
Excellent excursion. Frankie was an excellent tour guide. Played great music, explained all the history of the islands and gave ample time at each location. He was very skilled in driving the boat which made us all feel very comfortable.
Best experience we had during our one week visit in Croatia. We are a family of four with kids 15 and 11, we all had a blast on the speedboat and the swimming locations. Frankie was our captain and he was great especially with the music selection that matched the vibe of the speedboat. We always felt safe. We did not visit the Blue Cave due to high current but visited a beautiful beach instead which one of the best beaches I have ever visited. Highly recommend!
It was a wonderful experience. The guide was very friendly and has a great knowledge.
I highly recommend this tour!
The trip in itself was absolutely brilliant, All of the locations were awesome in our skipper Mateo was absolutely awesome. 10 out of 10 cannot fault it
We did have a choppy day out on the water and it was generally pretty rough but we made the most out of that and still had an amazing time. We would happily head back out again, hopefully in better conditions next time
We booked the Blue Cave & Hvar 5 Islands Speedboat tour out of Split, and it's hands-down one of the best excursions I've ever done on any trip, anywhere. That's saying something, since I've traveled across five continents and this one still stands out.
The day was packed. We started at the Blue Cave on Bisevo, timing our arrival perfectly to catch the sunlight reflecting through the water. It's every bit as magical as the photos promise. From there we wandered Komiza, the sleepy little harbor town where Mamma Mia was filmed, before a quick stop at the old WWII military bunkers at Raketna Baza Stupisce, a strange and fascinating detour I wouldn't have found on my own.
We cruised past Stiniva Cove (voted Europe's best beach) for the views, then dropped anchor at Budikovac Island for a long, unhurried swim in a lagoon so turquoise it barely looks real, with snorkeling included. After passing the Pakleni Islands, we ended the day in the town of Hvar itself, with just enough time for lunch, a swim, some wandering through the old walls, and a little shopping before heading back.
Honestly, there's no way we could have fit this much into a single day on our own. The logistics alone would've eaten half our time. Captain Caca made it effortless. He was fantastic, genuinely funny, clearly knew every cove and hidden spot worth stopping at, and ran the whole day without it ever feeling rushed.
If you're trying to decide between doing Croatia's islands on your own or booking a guided speedboat day, book the boat. Hopefully you get Caca as your skipper!
What an awesome day! This was truly the highlight of a 2 week Croatian trip.
Franky was a great skipper, super knowledgeable and even gave us an extra 1 hour stop as the blue cave didn’t open until a bit later in the morning. Once the blue cave opened, Franky made sure we were organized so we didn’t wait for than 5 minutes to transfer boats.
The itinerary for the day was well planned and we had plenty of time to swim (sand beach and the blue lagoon) as well as tour and eat breakfast and lunch. Hvar was definitely a highlight and there were tons of fun shops to browse in.
The boat ride itself went really quickly and Franky played a fun playlist that appealed to everyone on the boat. The boat itself was perfect - lots of space for 12 of us and a covered top which was crucial in the hot afternoon sun. The boat handled the afternoon choppy sea perfectly which was really important to me as I get a bit nervous…
All in all I couldn’t reconnect this tour more and I would try and ask for Franky as your skipper. You won’t be disappointed
Great day out. Blue caves were fantastic and enjoyed some of the smaller islands. Luka was fantastic, very knowledgeable guide and knew where all the best spots were and had some great local recommendations on the islands. Great skipper, good vibes and good company. If you’re looking for a great day out sightseeing at an easy pace, this is perfect.
This 5 island boat trip was the highlight of our visit to Croatia! Vedran ( Ca ca) was an excellent skipper and so attentive to all of the group from departure to our return. He is incredibly passionate about the tours. We definitely recommend this tour company as their seating was so comfortable and the roof blocks out the intense heat. Ca ca was very informative about local history and took us to extra little places which were an added bonus. The Blue Cave was our first visit and it did not disappoint!! We have read reviews about the separate price at Biševo Island to visit the caves which can be higher in peak season but to us this was well worth it. The photos just do not do it justice! Our stops at the other islands were so enjoyable and make us want to return! The view and photos we took from the fortress at Hvar-wow!!! Some fabulous swimming locations too-all in all, this was a really enjoyable day and a well-enjoyed trip as part of my husband's 50th birthday celebrations!!! The music on the boat was upbeat and added to the fun aspect of the day. Please book this trip through this company-you will be in very safe hands and will have an amazing day!! 10/10!!!!!
This is definitely one of the highlights of our Croatia trip. Our skipper, Simon, was incredible, friendly and fun. He timed our stops so well that we didn't have a long wait at the blue cave. He brought us to some amazing, less touristy private beaches which were awesome. Right mix of interesting facts and historical knowledge. The boat was shaded and very comfortable, unlike some other tours which used non-shaded boat.
A great tour! An all day excursion that doesn’t disappoint. Our tour guide Frankie was the crowning touch, with humour and great music, we had an amazing time! The shade and premium seating was a real added bonus! Highly recommend!
Frankie was an excellent guide and driver, we were able to pack in so many awesome stops in just 1 day. Great as a couples day trip, felt like we were able to see the best of the Croatian islands, as well as see the blue cave in such a short time. This boat was much better than the others as it has actual seats instead of straddle benches, and has a suncover. Plenty of free time to explore the towns and beaches as well. Definitely the highlight of our trip
