We had the best time on our 6-island fast boat tour with Bože and Karlo! From start to finish, they were incredible guides—fun, knowledgeable, and made the whole day an absolute blast. Every stop was beautiful and well-timed, and they made sure we were always safe, comfortable, and having a great time. Their energy and humor made the experience even more special. Truly a highlight of our trip—highly recommend this tour, especially with Bože and Karlo leading the way!

Overall Great Time, However this speedboat experience should come with some warnings.
1. This is NOT a traditional speedboat and you ride saddle seats the whole time with not roof (which we knew)
2. The ride to the blue cave is 90 mins in really rough water. The boat was jumping waves and throwing us about the entire time.
3. This is not for children or the faint of heart. We went in pretty decent weather but it was really choppy. Thank goodness the Crew, Hannah and Carlos knew what they were doing and made it a great experience but we got some major air time.
4. Limit what you bring, the water is so bad you won’t have time to eat or drink anything.
5. This is more of a thrill seeking activity than a island hopping.
Disappointing experience with Toto Travel due to poor communication. Because of the weather, our itinerary was heavily altered. We missed the Blue Cave and 3 other major natural landmarks, completing only 4 out of the 7 promised stops.
While we understand weather cannot be controlled, the main issue was the lack of transparency. Before boarding, we explicitly asked the desk agent if the weather would cause significant disruptions, and we were assured it would not. The operator knew the main attractions were inaccessible before we departed but did not inform us, denying us the choice to reschedule or cancel.
Furthermore, the open-sea ride was rough and uncomfortable, and we were given no warning beforehand regarding the bumpy conditions. Once underway, the skippers were not very engaging and provided almost no information or commentary about the sites we did visit. It would have been a much better experience if the team had been upfront about the closures and sea conditions from the start.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We completely understand your disappointment that some of the planned locations could not be visited, especially the Blue Cave.
Unfortunately, strong southern winds affected several locations that day, and the itinerary had to be adjusted for safety reasons. Access to the Blue Cave is also determined by local authorities based on sea conditions and cannot be guaranteed by any tour operator.
We would, however, like to clarify that the full-day tour still included Komiža, the military tunnels on Vis Island, an alternative swimming location on Vis, the Pakleni Islands and Hvar.
We are sorry if the information provided before departure created different expectations, but we cannot agree that information was deliberately withheld. Sea conditions can vary significantly between locations and throughout the day, so it is not always possible to know in advance exactly which stops will be accessible.
We truly regret that the adjusted itinerary was not the experience you had hoped for, but when conditions change at sea, the safety of our guests must always come first.
Best regards,
Toto Travel team
Beautiful experience. The guides were very professional and fun. It’s a must to do for me if you come here in Spalato
So much fun!!! Be prepared to hold tight & get wet, but you’ll have soo much fun and see such beautiful sights this way. Our captain and guide (Roko and Marin) were incredible throughout the day and made the experience that much more fun, if you can even imagine.
Please book your tour with a different company! The boat ride was the most excruciating part of this tour, and just took away from the experience. Firstly, they use these little speed boats where they stack up 12 people, and you literally have to straddle your seat as if you’re sitting on a horse jumping over the waves - mind you this is a whole day your. Then the skipper couldn’t be bothered about safety or comfort. He was driving so fast apparently racing other boats and purposely jumping high over the waves, making the jump onto the seat so painful! I dreaded getting back onto that boat after each stop. I hated this tour so much I wish I could give it zero stars. Please check the pics of the boat before booking ant whole day tour.

Thank you for your feedback. As you advise other travelers to check the photos of the boat before booking, we would respectfully point out that we strongly recommend doing exactly that before making a reservation.
The type of speedboat used for this tour is clearly shown in our listing photos, including the seating arrangement and style of the vessel, so guests can see exactly what type of experience they are booking.
Speedboat tours are by nature exciting and adventurous, and while we understand that this type of experience may not be suitable or comfortable for everyone, many of our guests specifically enjoy this aspect of the tour. This is also reflected in the many 5-star reviews from guests who have thoroughly enjoyed both the speedboat ride and the overall experience.
We are sorry that the tour was not to your personal liking. However, we do encourage all guests to review the photos and tour information before booking to ensure that this type of speedboat experience is right for them.
Best regards, Toto team
The itinerary keeps the day moving well and the speedboat is a ton of fun! Great tour guides, fun music, and worthwhile value to see everything via boat in just one day!
Fun boat ride hopping waves at the beat of the music. Breathtaking spots. You can't miss the blue cave!
Thanks to Andrew & Mia for this amazing travel. Beautiful sights, places and swiming time. One of the best day of our trip!
Wow. Rarely are rough seas a positive feature to a sea tour, but our Captain Heinz and mate Clara were in their A game and everyone had a blast on the “boat rodeo” on the way back to port. They were able to get us in as the second to last group of the day to see the Blue Cave, which was incredible. That spot is very sea condition dependent. All the other stops- Komiza, Hvar and Pakleni Islands were all amazing and unique in their own way. They kept a very positive and upbeat vibe and this trip was fully enjoyed by guests of all age ranges. Their boats and also set up a lot more favorably if the sea gets choppy. Awesome experience!
We had a great day with Emil and Denis! They were knowledgeable and made sure we had a great day visiting the blue cave and other islands.
Great experience. Great guides. 100% recommend The ride itself was part of the experience too. So fun
The day we booked ended up being a windy and off/on rain & sunny day. They notified us upon arrival that the blue cave was closed with the option to reschedule or get a refund. Most of us decided to continue assuming we would be able to proceed with the other islands/Hvar. Unfortunately we only got off the boat at 3 places total (including Hvar). We were told we could swim at some beaches but not offered any snorkel gear. At Stiniva (?) we were in a cove far from shore & they said we could swim to the beach if we wanted. Of course, everyone declined because it was a long intimidating swim so they moved onto the next location. During the tour we had 3 (1 hour) trips on the boat. It was a lot of speed boat time where you straddle the seat in 12 rows of 2 people. It is not relaxing - you have to hold onto the grab bar in front of you or risk falling off. Maybe it was the weather or the lack of communication but sadly this tour did not meet my expectations for what we paid.
This trip was amazing. Our first stop was the Blue Cave which was spectacular. We then had breakfast on island of Vis... we headed to Blue Lagoon on Paklenica island... ended tour at Hvar island where we had time to explore the sights and get some great gelato. Tour guides were great! Highly recommend
Didn’t get to go into blue cave given the weather conditions but that’s out of our guides’ control. Mario and Peter were great! The other islands were beautiful and it was definitely worth the money!
A must do. Purely magical! Fun speedboat ride with awesomw music. did not get sick or wet. Nikola drove the boat so well
We had a fabulous day yesterday jetting around the islands with our friend Capitan Magnifico Emil! The man can read some waves! What could have been a bumpy disaster turned into an amazing roller coaster. I haven’t laughed that hard and long in a while. Capitan Emil had the perfect mixed tape playing the entire day. Emil also shared so many interesting facts with us. The islands were picture perfect. Until we meet again my friend!!! Buckle Up!
Wind was too strong and the boat ride was very uncomfortable! The boat has a flat bottom so if conditions are at all choppy you feel all the bumps. We held on for dear life and got quite jarred and wet.
Clara our guide and Bruno the skipper were professional, exceptional and fun! They elevated our experience for our group of 9ppl celebrating a milestone birthday. The tour itself is a must do! Most tours are either 3 or 5 island but this one was 6 islands and every one of them has its own unique charm.
Thank you for the on point Playlist and the speed boat donuts! We had a blast!
Its a raft boat. If the weather is bad, do not take the trip. Hvar was excellent however we did not go to the 6 islands as the weather was bad. The ride was pretty bad.
This was a great tour! The blue cave was closed on the day we went but they added alternatives. It was honestly a very fun and enjoyable day.
Something to keep in mind: The seating on the boat is saddle style. My boyfriend and I are both 25 years old and fit and it was pretty rough lol! A little sore the next day, especially because there were big waves on the day we went and it was very bumpy, but honestly it’s not a huge deal. I definitely would not recommend this to younger kids or older adults with hip/back pain because it’s definitely not the comfiest set up.
But everywhere we went was beautiful and it was a great price. They played music also which was nice, and they offered to bring a couple to a nearby ferry when they wanted to leave the tour early which was also nice. They are also very punctual and when they say to be at the boat by 11:45, it means they are literally pulling out of the port at 11:45. Which makes sense, but as Americans we thought 11:46 would be fine and they were already pulling out and thankfully came back for us haha thank gosh. 🤣 But just try to be on time or early!
Amazing day out, one of the best tours in Europe! You’ll have a blast!! Highly recommend good crew who took us around they knew all the ins and outs!
The 5 island tour brings you to 5 islands where you can visit the island s but there is only 2 islands where you can swim for 30 minutes. For an 12 hour trip that is way to short. More time for snorkling will improve the trip.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you for your feedback! We understand how important swimming and snorkeling are for many of our guests.
We’d like to clarify that the tour includes a full hour for swimming and snorkeling at the Pakleni Islands and 30 minutes at the stunning Stiniva Cove. Additionally, it’s possible to swim at nearly every stop throughout the day, including Komiža, Hvar, and Milna - if you prefer swimming over sightseeing.
We aim to offer a flexible experience that lets each guest choose how to enjoy their time on the islands.
We appreciate your input and will continue to improve based on our guests’ experiences!

It’s wonderful to know that you had such a positive experience. We’re always looking to create memorable experiences, and reviews like yours let us know we’re on the right track. Thank you!
If I have to bundle up fearful, fun, exciting, adrenaline; then one word best suited for the experience would be - THRILLING ! Never had I ever imagined, that my first speedboat experience would be so breathtaking. Toto travel has some really experienced experts who ride and sail boat precisely. But if you want the pro of the pros then I would highly recommend Emil and Tonchi. If you are in for the thrill, then Emil would ensure you get every bit of it. We visited 6 beautiful places, but the boat ride was absolutely worth it. If I have to one feedback, then I would just say to include Blue lagoon visit within the price range, or with a slight increase.
Amazing trip packed with different stops and visits, felt like I saw so many different towns and places all in a day. Speed boat was super fun and the guides were brilliant with all the information they provided
Speed boat, once I got used to it, was exhilarating. Blue Cave, all that I imagined and more. Other stops lovely. Mia and Toni were supberb hosts and crew.
We were able to see many beautiful places in just one day. I was really amazed, it is really worth the price!
It’s a fast boat and you get a lot of sun (no cover) but overall an amazing time, great music while traveling, and the sites were great. The guide was awesome as well. Super glad we booked it and went with Toto. I was hesitant about 10 hrs in a boat in August but the time went by in a flash. Overall a great day and an easy way to see all of the islands in a day without being stuck on a ferry. The Blue Cave was magnificent.
Great memories from this visit starting with the beautiful blue cave thanks to our skippers Gea and Nando. We went through Vis, Paklinski islands stopping at the blue lagoon of Budikovac for swim break. We finished with the discovery of the very nice town of Hvar.
This trip was fantastic, allowing us to visit numerous islands all in one day and with plenty of time at each location.
