Really fun day, what a great experience! You get to see so many islands, the absolutely stunning Blue Cave, and swim in beautiful green blue water at a few beaches. Staff was very friendly and gave us good recommendations. I'd highly recommend this experience

The day overall was enjoyable, and as we were leaving Hvar, we were asked to leave a review. At that point, I gave the experience five stars because I had enjoyed the day overall, although there were a few things I felt could have been improved.
For example, I think the itinerary could have been arranged better. Hvar was the longest stop, yet it was our final destination. By that point, everyone was tired from spending the day in the sun, and we had very little energy left to properly explore the town. One of the earlier swimming stops would have made much more sense as the final stop instead.
Another disappointment was the snorkeling. The excursion advertised snorkeling, which was one of the main reasons I booked this tour. However, it wasn’t really a guided snorkeling experience. We were simply handed goggles at one of the island stops and told to take them to the beach ourselves, with no guidance or designated snorkeling area. There were very few fish or marine life to see, so it didn’t live up to what was advertised.
When we were asked to leave our review while departing Hvar, those were my only concerns, and despite them, I still chose to leave a positive five-star review because I felt I might have been focusing too much on minor criticisms.
Unfortunately, if I had been asked to write my review after arriving back in Split, it would have been very different.
The return boat ride was genuinely frightening. The trip from Hvar to Split took approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, and for most of that journey, many passengers, including myself, were scared and uncomfortable.
At one point, the skipper handed control of the boat over to the guide. This had not happened at any other point during the excursion, and the switch only occurred once we were well out at sea, where it was less visible. That alone raised concerns, as it gave the impression that the guide may not have been authorized to operate the boat.
The sea was rough due to the afternoon wind and waves, which we completely understand. However, the speed and manner in which the boat was being driven made the conditions feel far more dangerous than necessary. One passenger (an adult) became so frightened that she began crying and screaming. Throughout the ride, my partner and I were genuinely worried that the boat might capsize.
When my partner and I, along with other passengers, expressed that we were frightened and asked the crew to slow down, our concerns were dismissed with laughter and the response that this was “normal”. While we appreciate that rough seas are sometimes unavoidable, the crew’s handling of the situation and their lack of empathy were extremely disappointing. Regardless of whether they considered the conditions normal, the fact that multiple passengers felt unsafe should have been taken seriously.
It’s unfortunate because the day itself had many positives, but the return journey overshadowed the entire experience. More concerning than the rough ride itself was how the crew responded when passengers expressed genuine fear. That left us with a lasting negative impression of what had otherwise been an enjoyable excursion.

Viator was pretty easy to schedule- and book a new date in my case! Skipper Tim was great! All the boats are excellent and the crew was very pragmatic

This was a really fun experience but not like how it was advertised. This was not a Mama Mia experience, more just the tour guides talking about spots that certain scenes from the movie were filmed. From previous reviews all of what was said about the boat was true, uncomfortable seats, long stretches of time sitting, choppy water, no shade on the boat. The blue caves were extremely underwhelming, and I would have liked to go to more caves that other boats were advertising. I did not get see sick as I am prone to, so that is a plus. I think my friend and I were expecting more from this trip than what it was. We stopped at this stop and got a flyer for an overpriced restaurant for a “free gift”, that was just a small paper postcard of a farm animal. I was expecting to get a free coffee or some sort of percentage taken off of the bill. When we stopped in Havar there is a restaurant that the guides take you, and you do get 10% off if you decide to eat there. Still an overpriced place though.
What was fun about this trip was all of the swimming spots that you stop at and swim, but that is pretty much what this excursion is. A skipper taking you to swim throughout Croatia. My friend and I especially liked Havar.
What really made the trip though was the people on the boat, our guide Lore and skipper Tuqo. They were gentlemen, made sure that we were always happy and taken care of. Tuqo our skipper was extremely handsome, a skilled driver, and played great music. We went on a Friday and it felt like weekend vibes on that boat!

Ivan the tour guide and Boat captain were really good, very knowledgeable and kind. We had a best experience. Our kids were really enthusiastic and engaged.
Thank you!

An absolute highlight of our Croatia trip! The speedboat ride alone was worth it. Fast, exhilarating and an incredible amount of fun. Our skipper, Jacob, was outstanding. Professional, funny, had the best playlist/music and by far the best driver on the water. You could genuinely tell the difference compared to many of the other boats we saw throughout the day.
The Blue Cave and the Five Islands were all beautiful, and Jacob took the time to explain the history, local stories and what made each stop unique. Nothing felt rushed, and he made sure everyone had a great experience.
Our group was a fantastic mix of Americans, Germans and other nationalities, which made the whole day even more enjoyable. Great atmosphere from start to finish.
If you're visiting Croatia, don't think twice. Book this tour. It's the perfect combination of stunning scenery, crystal-clear water, exciting speedboat rides and an exceptional skipper who clearly loves what he does.
Highly recommended. We'd do it again in a heartbeat!

Nice tour but lacked a bit. We did have fun, but it was basically just driving from island to island and everything else cost extra (which I knew) but I think some of the things could have been included in this price.
NOTE: it is a SPEEDBOAT tour, so there is a high chance you will get absolutely soaked, especially if u sit on the LEFT SIDE of the boat! Wear things you don’t mind getting wet and sunglasses to protect your eyes!
Also be aware it can be BUMBY and you need to hold on the whole way (1,5h first thing in the morning) so definitely not a tour for elderly or small children. It was fun ride except when the water splashed on your face half of the duration. Also our bums were soooo sore after the trip from sitting on the boat STRADDLE style most of the day.
Note that there wasn’t really a snorkeling place, it was more of a here is a beach, you can snorkel there if you want, but there was nothing to look at really.
So yeah, overall okay tour and had relatively good time!
Margo_C, Jul 2026
The boat is basically an inflatable tube but i felt 100% safe the entire time! The captain knew what he was doing and it was a blast. It’s a long time to sit on the seats but they talk you through how long each segment is before going to the next stop. A great way to swim in different places and see different islands in Croatia. The blue cave is amazing to see, crazy that it’s 24 euros to go in for 10 mins but that’s not this crew’s fault. Our host Niki and captain Steve were very nice. It’s a long day so bring water, sunscreen, and good vibes!
Ivette_R, Jul 2026
A great day visiting the various islands near Split. Skipper, Jacob & Matt, were great! We had so much fun with them as we traveled on the speedboat to Blue Cave, Blue Lagoon, Hvar, etc. A full day, which shouldn’t be missed.
Roulla_A, Jul 2026
We booked as a group of 6 friends ranging from 50-63 years old and we all absolutely loved it, such a fantastic day out and experience!! Nina and Ella our skipper were so friendly, great fun and made our boat trip an unforgettable day, thank you both so much!
We had music all day with singalong classics that made the day. Be prepared that there is no shade on the boat and 10 of the seats are like straddling a horse but with handles to hold on too and padded back support, the back two are just one full length seat.
The blue cave was breathtaking and all the visits were wonderful. It’s actually only 4 islands you visit as one is a drive by. Water shoes may help at the blue lagoon beach but not essential.
Hats, caps and anything not on super tight will be lost at sea, as they can fly off with the wind!
Don’t forget your sun lotion and a hair clip for long hair :)
Kara_N, Jul 2026
Super fun, but long, day. I enjoyed seeing some of Croatia's islands. I definitely do not recommend IF you hate rollercoasters and/or the open sea. Because both are involved. I was also expecting to get very wet on the speedboat, but I stayed perfectly dry. If you are going in summer, you do not need a jacket on the boat.
The guides were friendly and competent; I felt we had enough free time in each place. Overall my experience was very good!
mike_c, Jun 2026
Matea and Lea were absolutely the bomb!!!! Fabulous hosts and definitely kept everyone safe and in the know about what was happening and where we were going. The blue lagoon and the out islands we visited were truly amazing. Loved Hvar. Matea is a superb boat captain and knows how to handle a boat for sure!!!!! Do not miss this tour.
Kara_D, Jun 2026
A really fun day out visiting a bunch of key stops. Blue cave is really impressive and the swimming was wonderful. Thanks to Laura and Frankie for a fun adventure.
David_W, Jun 2026
It was a great day out and we really loved the experience, however the moment I saw the boat I knew there was a problem. The boat had no roof over the passengers and it was the middle of summer.
I am alergic to sunscreen so had to cover up. The crew supplied me with a wind jacket which covered my arms and neck and I had a hat so it turned out OK, but having a roof would have made a significant improvement!
Joy_A, Jun 2026
The 5 Islands speedboat tour was hands down one of the highlights of our Croatia trip! The Blue Cave was absolutely mesmerizing, swimming at the Mamma Mia filming beaches felt like stepping into the movie, and the hike to the viewpoints in Hvar was worth every step. Naturally, I ended the day with my favorite pistachio gelato cone. 🍦💙
One tip: the ride back on the speedboat is FAST, windy, and very wet—grab a wind jacket before you leave. You’ll thank yourself
Pete_C, Jun 2026
Fun full day. Positives: beautiful weather, great scenery, fun to visit lots of islands in one tour. Improvements: Could have balanced the time a bit better for us, for example we could have used a bit more time at Vis and a bit less time at the Blue Lagoon or at Hvar. There was also not a lot of commentary from the guide, who was pleasant, but not overly conversational. Prepare for a rough ride back to Split as the winds pick up in the afternoon.
Matt_F, Jun 2026
Fantastic day out and definitely one of the highlights of my trip. The islands were fantastic, the boat was great, and everything was very well organised.
The speed boat was a great way to do a whistle stop tour of all the beautiful places Croatia has to offer.
A special thanks to Lovre and Tea, who were both friendly, professional and made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Split.
Thomas_W, Jun 2026
Great driver - Mario knows what he‘s doing - fantastic feeling with the Boat and it was very Rough but Mario was very fast:-)
Hans_V, Jun 2026
We were very surprised to see the type of boat, basically an inflatable speedboat. The crew was great but the boat ride was very uncomfortable. You sit like riding a horse. Some parts of the rides were over an hour. Exhausting! We visited 2 very nice island towns, very scenic. When we made the reservation Viator did not provide enough information about the boat. I do not recommend this tour for anyone over 30.

Chloe_R, Jun 2026
We had a great day! Our hosts (Emma and Nino) were very friendly and knowledgable. We left on time in the morning and we had enough time to enjoy each stop. A great way of packing in different islands of Croatia in a short amount of time.
Julie_L, Jun 2026
We had an awesome time! When they say speedboat, really just think speedboat roller coaster. If you get motion sickness easily this is not the tour for you (long periods of bumpy water, maybe 1-1.5 hrs). The seats were also uncomfortable like previously mentioned and were more like a carousel ride seat wise (not regular seats). With that said, the boat operator and tour guide might have made the boat ride more extreme since we were a younger looking group (we looked over at another boat on the same tour and they didn’t jump as much). Our biggest complaint is that we didn’t actually visit any of the mama Mia locations/blue cave location. It does say in the tour that it is weather and season dependent but we think the tour should have been marketed differently (it’s in the name of the tour) and or maybe given us more time at the other locations instead to make up for it. Overall we still enjoyed it and would do it again!
Alyssa_S, May 2026
Wonderful tour, guides were fantastic. Great value and well timed stops. Felt like we had plenty of time at each place.
Sandra_J, May 2026
Mia and Duje were fabulous guides who kept the day organized, informative, and running smoothly from start to finish. Their energy, professionalism, and attention to detail made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free.
The Blue Cave visit may have been brief, but it was nothing short of magical. The glowing blue light inside the cave is truly one of those natural wonders that has to be seen to be appreciated.
Hvar was absolutely beautiful and was one of the highlights of the day. The historic streets, waterfront, and atmosphere were wonderful. My only suggestion would be to provide guests with more information in advance about activity options while there. We would have loved to know about opportunities such as renting bikes to explore more of the island beyond walking.
The visit to the fortress is an absolute must. The climb is well worth it for the spectacular panoramic views overlooking Hvar, the harbor, and the surrounding islands.
Overall, a fantastic day with excellent guides, stunning scenery, and memorable experiences. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Croatia.
Rakshit_B, May 2026
Was amazing and the guide was really cool and made sure we are comfortable… And really enjoyable and fun
Debbie_S, May 2026
Awesome trip around the islands. Just stunning. The speedboat ride was a lot of fun too. Efficient management the whole day.
Suzanne_P, May 2026
This is a speedboat adventure tour so be mindful that this really is most ideal for 18-50 year olds. On the speed boat you sit on a straddle and have to hold on to what I would call rollercoaster bars. We didn't know that sitting up front was going to be the most thrilling seats, maybe middle would have been better. Our day was partly sunny and the waters were a bit bumpy so the ride was very fast and parts were rough. Be prepared to cover up especially in the mornings and the 1 hour per way very windy rides. All that to say we had a great time, but wish we were better prepared. We weren't able to swim very long and had to skip a stop but still hit the most important spots. Our guide and skipper were very cool and had great music on the ride. The islands were just beautiful and worth the trip. Hold tight!!
Kris_S, May 2026
They were great! Very entertaining and knowledgeable! Great recommendations on different activities on the islands.
Haseeb_S, May 2026
An amazing experience had a great time! I highly recommend this tor to anyone who wants to visit the islands
Kohlbi_C, May 2026
We had an incredible boat day exploring the islands from Split! Ivan and Dino were fantastic hosts — friendly, organized, and made the entire experience feel effortless and fun from start to finish. The highlight of the day was definitely the Blue Cave, which was absolutely stunning in person. Every stop was beautiful, the boat was great, and the whole day felt like the perfect way to experience the Croatian coast. Highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Croatia!
Charlotte_S, May 2026
Visiting the 5 islands was spectacular! Our guides Lucy and Carlos were great. The blue cave was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Croatia. Hvar was equally a lovely place to visit. Lots of resturant variety and the water is beautiful and clear and perfect to swim in. The only caution is that you are in a speedboat that carries 10-12 people and it can get quite bumpy at times! But we also had music playing which was very entertaining!
Amelia_G, May 2026
I am giving this a 3 as we didn’t get to do the main attractions
No fault of the crew, the weather wasn’t kind apparently and we couldn’t do the blue cave. There was no mention though of why we didn’t do the mama Mia island visit.
We did visit some cool towns and a few great swim spots
It’s a long day, 9 hours and you spend half of that traveling on the speed boat from stop to stop. Was a fun bumpy ride which I don’t mind. Again no fault of the crew but at the last stop our boat was gone, apparently an emergency with another boat and ours had a spare propeller
So we were left for 30 mins with not much to do
