Fantastic day. Mia was a great host informing details about places we visited. We have plenty of time for swimming and blue cave totally worth the visit. Highly suggested! Well done!

Bad experience

Janina_K, Jul 2024

The tour was exhausting. The driver of the boat said that the weather was not acceptable to go to the blue cave. Instead all day we were traveling to places full of tourist and very high prices. The driver have not explained the meaning and history of places and only said the amount of time we have to spent there. The journey in the boat was very fast and unpleasant, the safety was minimal. Overall, we would not recommend this trip.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Hi, thank you for your review. In the morning before going on the tour we explained to all guests that it is going to be impossible to come to Blue cave because of the big waves on the open sea. And we told that tour is going to changed. Also we told everybody that you do not need to go on that tour that you will get refund. We did 5 island tour but with diferent places - full day tour. In July it is high season in Croatia and tourist are every were. Croatia is popular and it is no longer cheap destination. And one more thing we are doing tour with speed boat, that goes 25 miles per hour, this is not slow boat tour. If want to visit 5 diferent destination boat need to go fast. Sorry that your exeperince was bad with us and if you visit Croatia again you can contact me and you can go for free on the tour. Best Regards Duje

Blue Cave is spectacular

Karrina_M, Jul 2024

The tour was interesting to say the least. First of all, they didn't welcome us or really introduce themselves, there were no safety instructions, not even sure there were life jackets on the boat. Fine for me because I'm a good swimmer but if you're not, perhaps a little stressful. The ride to blue cave was relatively flat, fast and only really got choppy as we approached the Blue Cave island. We were blessed with a bright sunny day and Blue Cave as absolutely spectacular! The colours really are as per the photos. A quick visit into another bay, kind of a waste of time and then off to Blue lagoon which was really nice, had a lovely bar and the water was great. Next was Carpe Diem beach, it was nice and I had a lovely swim but it was way too long. Hvar was the last stop, I enjoyed the little town. I actually would have preferred less time at Carpe Diem and either more in Hvar or returned to Split a little earlier. Our crew were nice but a little 'loose'. Would I do it again with these guys, no, would I visit the destinations again, yes. Did I have a great day, mostly.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Hi, thank you for your review. But my crew always introduce them selfe in morning when the all guest are on the boat. They tell to all the guest where to take a seat because the balance of the boat. Maybe you did not hear them. And of course we have life jackets in the boat we need to have them beacuse by Croatian law we need to have 14 life jackets in the boat. Thanks for the tips about Carpe Diem and Hvar. Best Regards Duje

Amazing experience

Rahela_C, May 2024

Very well organised trip. Guide and the driver were very friendly and helpful. Blue cave is truly amazing!!

Very good trip to spend a day in Split

Agustin_D, May 2024

Be prepared for a bumpy ride on a high-speed boat through the Adriatic Ocean; I guess that's why they call the boat driver a skipper! The trip went smoothly as described, with the scheduled stops. Almost no-line on the blue cave when we went, which was great. We didn't stop in one of the locations because, according to our skipper; it was overrated and due to the weather conditions (the water was too cold, there was a possibility of jelly-fishes in the area). However, we stopped at another "private beach" where we were not allowed to go inland, but we could anchor in one of many platforms in the area, where we could dive and swim. We spend there around 1 hour, swimming and chilling. Then we went to the biggest island (Hvar) for lunch and explored for 2 hours. In general, it was great; I am glad I got a waterproof jacket with me because it gets really cold on the 1-hour boat trip in the morning and evening. Some elements were missing; I would have liked more information on the sites from our tour guides and maybe a suggested list of activities to do in each stop.

Breathtaking

Mervyn_T, Jul 2018

The journey by speedboat from Split to the Blue Caves was bone jarring but the trip inside the caves was well worth the effort. Would have appreciated more time inside but understand that there are crowds waiting to go inside.

La foto trae un po in inganno poiché non è possibile fare il bagno all' interno della grotta, tutto sommato bella l' esperienza

Très bonne expérience

Ocane_L, Jul 2024

Super expérience en bateau !! En petit groupe c'est génial, guide très gentil et qui fait attention aux ressenti des autres sue le bateau. Un peu cher les places du Lagon bleu pour le peu de temps qu'on y passe. A par ça, c'était la meilleure journée du voyage ! Un temps magnifique, de belles îles, du temps pour se baigner et prendre de jolies photos inoubliables.

No blue cave !

Leygue_P, Jul 2024

Très déçus car nous n'avons pas étés à la grotte bleue. Le guide nous a dit qu'il y avait trop vent. Il y eu très peu de commentaires sur les endroits visités. Bref 124€ par personne pour cette sortie c'est du vol.
