AprilRose_C, Apr 2026
We had such an amazing boat day with Simon. He really made the whole experience feel personal and memorable. He knew so much about the history of each island and town we visited, which made everything way more interesting than just a typical boat tour. He also gave great recommendations at each stop, from where to walk around to what to check out, which helped us make the most of our time. On top of that, his playlist was perfect for the vibe—just made the whole day even better. What stood out the most was how he went out of his way to make sure we saw as much as possible without feeling rushed. You can tell he genuinely cares about giving people a great experience. Highly recommend booking with Simon if you’re visiting Split!

Must do!

Great tour

Ron_D, Oct 2025
Luka was an amazing captain. Unfortunately the blue cave was closed but he was able to give us some other options that were just as spectacular. Great guy. Goes the extra mile.

The best day you will have in Split

Jake_N, Sep 2025
Unbelievable boat trip with the most amazing scenery. The skipper of the boat provides great insights into the history of Croatia and knows all of the special spots to visit on the islands. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would recommend to anybody who is thinking about it!

Unforgettable day

Anna_W, Sep 2025
This was our favorite day in Croatia! From seeing the blue cave and several sites on the island of Vis to swimming/snorkeling in secluded beaches, our time on this tour was unforgettable. Viktor, our skipper, was not only a skilled driver, but his music playlist for the day was so fun and memorable. He made sure we had time at each site and provided us with fascinating information. I thoroughly researched blue cave and island hopping tours from Split for a long time and I am so happy I stumbled upon theirs- I chose it for their high reviews and they truly deserve those reviews! Book this tour!

Awesomeness on the Adriatic

Robyn_A, Sep 2025
We had an incredible day with our Captain Simon. We were a group of 3 in our 60"s.The boat was comfy with padded seats and an awning to protect us from the beautiful Croatian sun. There was a great mix of music which was responsible for more than one sing-along . Simon was knowledgeable and passionate about his country so we got a little education along with a good time. He also took us to some more private caves for swimming. It was truly amazing ! We made several stops so there is plenty of opportunity for food, drinks, shopping, and bathroom breaks. An added plus was that we were able to leave our belongings on the boat with peace of mind. I highly recommend this trip to anyone. It was a joyous day !

Thrilling, safe and beautiful!

Marcel_P, Sep 2025
Luka was a master with his boat! We had full confidence in his skills and never felt unsafe for a moment. He was informative and knew the territory like the back of his hand. We stopped near a fishing boat because he noticed there was a pod of dolphins near the boat. He knew the fisherman aboard. The whole tour was wonderful and the boat ride was thrilling. Although we were unable to visit the blue cave due to weather conditions, he took us to see other caves that were exciting and beautiful. At every island stop, he gave us inside information on the best places to eat, which museums were worthwhile or not and communicated everything effectively. We also enjoyed his playlist, especially Dino Dvornik, a very famous Croatian musician. We highly recommend this tour with Luka!!

wonderful way to spend the day in split!

Sravya_M, Sep 2025
This was such a fun experience. Our tour guide was Simon and he was honestly the best! He gave us so much history about the islands and caves we were exploring and croatia itself. He even talked about his family history in croatia which i thought was very sweet! He also made sure we got to the blue cave before crowds and even let us swim in a nearby cave which was such a fun experience would definitely recommend

A fantastic memorable trip

CAROLINE_H, Sep 2025
We had a brilliant day with Luka. From the early start to the end of the day he did everything possible to make the experience memorable. He was helpful, engaging, answers questions, full of historical information a great host. He even made the long journey out brilliant with exceptional music. He showed us the hawks next, fed the fish, waited for the pod of dolphins when the other boats had left. Thank you Luka for a great day and great memories.

Fantastic!! Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Split! Loved that we had a good amount of free time and we saw wild dolphins while on the boat!

An Adventure to Remember

Jinky_T, Sep 2025
This tour is so much fun especially for those who are looking for an adventure. The boat ride is not recommended for those who have faint heart. The places we visited is so much beautiful and unforgettable. Luca our skipper is very helpful and caring, he is always asking if i am ok since he observed that i am scared

Amazing time!

Lana_L, Aug 2025
The excursion was a lovely time with perfect weather and beautiful sites. This was made even better by our skipper Luka! He was educational, extremely kind and made the trip so much fun. I would 20 out of 10 recommend.

Day of good vibes and beautiful views

Abbey_c, Aug 2025
Honestly had the best day from start to finish, made the early start worthwhile. The skipper (Simon) was so friendly, brought good energy and vibes. Played a variety of music and gave us a chance to be DJ. He gave us some interesting facts at each stop and answered any questions we had. I had read some reviews on other similar trips, where the boat wasn’t comfortable. This wasn’t the case with this one, the boat was comfortable and ideal for the longer drives in between stops. No bad backs here! Everything we seen was just beautiful, can’t recommend enough.

sunny day

URSCHEL_L, Aug 2025
Simon was an exceptional skipper. We had a very beautiful day thanks to him. Very good driver on the sea, very good spots and very good music.

Highly recommend!

Christiana_D, Aug 2025
I would highly recommend this tour and I am so glad we had Luka as our skipper. He was extremely knowledgeable, and he took the time to ensure that everybody had the best experience possible. It is an early start, but because of this, we were able to get to the blue cave with a minimal line. Considering how short the Blue Cave tour is the fact that we did not have a long line made the experience worth it. He provided snorkeling gear for those who were interested and gave his opinions along the way in order to give us the best advice on how to have the best time possible. He always checked in to make sure we were comfortable. Luka also stopped us along the way to give historical stories about the locations, and he also stopped to show and to share about the marine life, which I don’t think many other tour guides would do.Luka’s deep appreciation and love for the country of Croatia and for the marine life added a personal touch you won’t be able to get anywhere else. There was real true excitement when he showed us the starfish or the little crab crawling along the reef. If you’re in Split for a short amount of time, I highly recommend this as a way to see multiple islands since the ferries can take a long time and this tour allowed you the opportunity to see things that were only possible by boat. Thank you Luka!

An Unforgettable Day – Thanks to Skipper Tomas!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jennifer_G, Aug 2025
Our tour to the Blue Cave, Hvar and 5 island was nothing short of amazing and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible skipper, Tomas! From the moment we stepped on board, he made us feel welcome, safe, and completely at ease. His knowledge of the area, warm personality, and great sense of humor turned a beautiful trip into an unforgettable experience. Tomas knew all the best spots, not just the famous sights, but also some hidden gems we would have never found on our own. He timed everything perfectly to avoid the crowds, gave us plenty of time to swim, explore, and relax, and shared fun stories and local tips along the way. What really stood out was how much fun he made the day, playing great music, keeping the vibe relaxed, and always making sure everyone was having a good time. If you're thinking about booking this tour, do it! And if you're lucky enough to have Tomas as your skipper, you're in for a truly special experience.

Amazing boat day with wonderful skipper Luka

Debbie_D, Jul 2025
Luka was amazing. Everything was exactly as the emailed detailed. We were greeted at the square at 6:40AM and promptly put on our boat. Then Luka explained everything we needed to know and we set sail for an 11 hour day of fun and adventure. Luka was fast and beat most of the other tour groups to the Blue Cave so we didn't have to stand around in a long line. It was the highlight of our trip to Croatia!

My daughter and I had so much fun. Luka (sp?) the captain was great. He had a great playlist and was an excellent captain. The stops were great and just enough time at each one. Glad we started early so we avoided the long lines at the Blue cave. My daughter said it was her best day yet in Split.

Great experience with this tour. Our skipper Luka was very personable and knowledgeable with the various islands and history. He even provided alternate recommendations for a more enjoyable experience. Would highly recommend this tour!!

Fantastic tour!

Daniel_S, Jul 2025
Our skipper, Simon, made our experience truly odlično! His knowledge of the region and experience on the water was so valuable and made the entire experience smooth and pleasurable. All parts of the tour were memorable and had breathtaking scenery of different kinds. We even got to take an extra short swim excursion to a smaller beach after visiting Hvar with a few extra minutes that we had available. Thanks, Simon, for a great experience for this family from Pennsylvania!

Great tour!

Sherna_M, Jun 2025

10/10 Experience!

Jasmin_T, May 2025
This was the highlight of my time at Split! Our skipper Viktor was very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited, and ensured we got plenty of time at each place. He made sure to point out highlights of each place to see, and kept the boat ride enjoyable the whole time. Couldn’t recommend it more if visiting Split! :)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Unforgettable Experience – A Must-Do in Croatia!

Rebecca_M, May 2025
This speedboat tour around Hvar, Vis, the Blue Caves, and several hidden gems was hands down the highlight of our trip! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, exciting, and incredibly scenic. A huge shoutout to our amazing captain, Viktor! He was not only skilled and professional, but also super friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the sea and the islands. He made sure everyone on board felt safe, comfortable, and—most importantly—had an unforgettable time. Whether we were zipping over turquoise waters, exploring the magical Blue Cave, discovering secluded caves, or grabbing lunch in charming island towns, Viktor went above and beyond to make the experience fun and personal. The boat itself was fast, clean, and comfortable, and the itinerary struck the perfect balance between adventure and relaxation. Every stop felt like something out of a postcard! We couldn’t have asked for a better day or a better guide. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Thank you, Captain Viktor—you made our trip truly special!
