Excellent tour. The visit to Hvar, the walking tour, 3 swimming stops, great food and drinks, enjoyable music onboard. The catamaran crew was outstanding, friendly, courteous, handled the windy conditions well by adjusting the stopping points, offering blankets to swimmers. Tour guide in Hvar was knowledgeable and creative in the way she shared information to make it interesting.

A great day out

Joanne_H, Jun 2026

Swim spots are beautiful, drinks flowed and the crew worked hard to make our day lots of fun. The added stop at Hvar was nice.

Fun in Croatia 🇭🇷!

Jill_A, Jun 2026

Go if you love adventure, partying and making new friends! This was a great excursion to visit several Croatian islands! Our host, Lea was excellent and made everyone feel special.

Dont use Viatour

Stewart_G, Jun 2026

The road to the port was closed. Nobody could get there. Messaged them. They did not care. Left without use and would not refund any money NEVER USE VIATOUR!!!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Dear Guest, We are sorry that, due to the road closure and the travel difficulties you experienced on your way to the meeting point, you felt it necessary to rate our tour with one star. We respectfully believe that this rating does not accurately reflect the quality of our tour, as the circumstances that prevented you from joining were entirely beyond our control. When you contacted us and explained the situation, we expressed our sympathy and offered the possibility of joining the tour in Hvar so that you would not miss the experience altogether. You then asked whether your tickets could be used on another date. Unfortunately, we had private tours scheduled over the following two days and were therefore unable to accommodate that request. Afterwards, you asked whether it would be possible to receive a Viator credit for future use. We informed you that any request for a credit or alternative compensation would need to be addressed directly with Viator Customer Support, as they were managing your booking and were the appropriate party to assist you. From your review, it appears that your concerns relate primarily to your booking experience and the options provided through Viator rather than to the tour itself. For this reason, we feel it would be more appropriate for this feedback to be directed to Viator. As the tour provider, we do not believe it is fair to be held responsible for circumstances outside our control that prevented your attendance. Once again, we are sorry that you were unable to join us. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on board in the future and provide you with the experience that so many of our guests enjoy. Kind regards, Summer Blues team

Adriatic Adventure

Prashant_G, Jun 2026

Enjoyed day long cruise on Catamaran Boat with friendly crew of Dani, Luca, Roko and Lia . What made it special for me was their hospitality and celebration of my birthday along with other guests on the boat at the end of the day . All inclusive package is certainly very very affordable and covers literally UNLIMITED flow of drinks ( wine, beer, sodas, juice etc.) and would definitely recommend everyone to go for . Swimming stops and guided tour of Hvar Island is an added bonus.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

So happy to see you were this satisfied :) hope to host you again

Had a great time. The crew made the experience way better. Unfortunately the weather kind of sucked which is out of everyone's control, the crew still made it worth our while, with the music and pouring all the drinks. The crew was extremely attentive.

Super Fun

Sydney_S, Sep 2025

Booked this last minute and it was the best decision we made. Loved every part of the trip, all 3 swim spots were great, they provided snorkel masks and foam noodles, island of Hvar was also very nice, will have to go back for more time. All 4 of the boat hosts were very nice and helpful, they made the experience very fun, especially the last 2 hours with the dance party and games. Amazing experience overall, many memories made, would recommend to everyone over 18 and I would definitely book this again.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dear Sydney, Thank you for your kind review. We're really glad you had such a great time and that the trip turned out to be the right choice. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the swim spots, Hvar, and especially the fun with our crew at the end! We’d love to have you back anytime. Warm regards, Jelena Summer Blues team

Fun excursion

Anna_B, Sep 2025

We had an good experience on this all-day excursion!. The crew was absolutely fantastic, professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. They made sure everyone felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of throughout the trip. The sights were breathtaking, and we loved every stop along the way. Tip: If you're prone to motion sickness, be sure to bring some motion sickness pills with you as it is not smooth sailing and you hit quite a few swells. They do serve you a pastry for breakfast, lunch after the Hvar stop and then fruit and muffins after a swim stop in the late afternoon.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dear Anna, Thank you for your kind review. We're glad you had a great time and that our crew made you feel safe and well cared for throughout the day. Thank you also for mentioning motion sickness. We always have pills on board just in case anyone needs them, so guests are welcome to ask the crew at any time. We’re happy you enjoyed the food and the beautiful stops, and we hope to welcome you back again soon! Warm regards, Jelena Summer Blues team

Don’t procrastinate, just book it! Fantastic day.

Michele_M, Aug 2025

What a day!!! Friendly crew, 4 great locations, fresh food, flowing drinks and finished with great music and a boogie. Highly recommend this day out from Split. Hvar was absolutely beautiful, could have stayed all day but the swimming spots were equally beautiful. Loved this day and will forever be in my memory bank.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dear Michele, Thank you for your kind words and for the recommendation! We’re happy to hear you had an unforgettable day with us, from the crew, food to the beautiful spots and great music. Hvar truly is stunning, and it’s wonderful to know you enjoyed every moment, including the swimming stops. We’d love to welcome you back anytime! Best wishes, Jelena Summer Blues team

Had a nice time - swim...

Mariana_N, Aug 2025

Had a nice time - swim stops were refreshing, and it was great to explore Hvar for a bit. This trip is more about relaxing on the boat rather than getting guided commentary, though there is a tour guide once you arrive in Hvar. There’s a fair amount of boat travel time, so definitely bring sunscreen!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your positive feedback! We're glad to hear you had a nice time and enjoyed the swim stops and your visit to Hvar. You're right, this tour is all about relaxing, soaking up the sun, and enjoying the beautiful views :) Hope to see you again on board! Best wishes, Jelena Summer Blues team

Perfect day to venture out to the sea

Padideh_N, Aug 2025

The funnest thing we could have done. The crew was so entertaining, the food was delicious and drinks were amazing and it was a great size catamaran. We stopped at 3 places for swimming and spend around 2 hours in Hvar. On our way back the crew turned up the music and we danced for almost 2 hours. I highly recommend this excursion.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dear Padideh, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're really happy to hear that you had such a fun time on board. It’s great to know you enjoyed the crew, the food, drinks, and the catamaran.

Exciting sailing day trip on blue Adriatic waters

Siddharth_J, Aug 2025

Amazing crew, great hospitality! The boat is large and spacious. Onboard food and drinks keep flowing. Music playlists are perfectly managed. The 3 Swim spots at Brac, Pakleni islands were spectacular with snorkeling and diving in the clear cool refreshing Adriatic waters.

Fun day trip experience

Courtney_H, Aug 2025

Overall great day. Mia was our host and she did a great job keeping us informed and the party going. We had a private secluded swim stop, 2 hours in Hvar with a 30 min guided tour, and then two more swim stops before the boat turned into a very fun dance party as we made our way back to Split. Breakfast was served with coffee early, bar with beer/soda/juice/wine was stocked and unlimited. Advertised chicken salad for lunch… which if you’re thinking is the mayo based one was not it. More of a salad with chicken on top and looked pretty good, we just ate in Hvar. Our boat was not too crowded, which was nice. Would recommend over some of the other bigger boat days on Viator. The split doc shares with these and they looked packed… maybe more for a younger crowd. This tour was a great mix of age groups.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dear Courtney, Thank you for sharing such a detailed review! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the day with Mia, from the swim stops and Hvar visit to the lively atmosphere on the way back. We hope to see you on board again for another great day at sea! Best wishes, Jelena Summer Blues team

Had such a great day out with Summer Blues! We lucked out with the weather and had some lovely swims and got to explore the islands, followed by a great party on the way back to Split. Manuela was a fantastic host!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dear Paula, Thanks so much for sharing your positive feedback with us! Sounds like you made the most of the day :) We’re glad the weather held up and that you enjoyed the swim stops, island visit, and the party on the way back. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words to Manuela! Hope you'll join us again! Best wishes, Jelena Summer Blues team

Amazing Trip!

Jeffrey_B, Jul 2025

We just got back from an amazing day exploring the Dalmatian islands. We cannot recommend this tour highly enough. The highlight was without a doubt our tour guide, Manuela. She was so kind and welcoming and made our day perfect. Definitely worth requesting to have her as your tour guide if possible. You won’t regret it!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dear Jeffrey, Thanks a lot for your kind words! We’re really glad you enjoyed the day and that Manuela helped make the experience even better. She’s a great part of our team, and we’ll definitely share your message with her. Hope to see you on board again! Warm regards, Jelena Summer Blues team

The best day out on the water! The crew were absolutely amazing and the most epic hype men! They gave us breakfast when we got onboard and coffee was waiting for us. The bar opens for alcoholic drinks aroubd 1030. The swim spots were the best so nice and not to cold. Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Split.

Fantastic, Fun Time for ALL!

Amber_F, Jul 2025

A terrific time on the catamaran with a tour of Hvar, three swim stops, great music, food, unlimited wine/beer/soda, and a FABULOUS CREW! There was enough space for everyone to feel comfortable, the swim stops were long enough for everyone to enjoy and they were in perfect spots. The tour of Hvar was a nice addition and a lovely experience (it made us want to stay there in the future!), and Manuela was the perfect hostess. She was engaging, sweet, kind to all, she held conversations with everyone, checked in on all of us and gave great tidbits of information at each stop. It was a highly enjoyable day! Thank you to the entire crew for making this a lasting memory for me, my husband, my two teenage kids and my mom!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Dear Amber, Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re really happy to hear that you and your family had such a great time on the tour. It’s great to know you enjoyed the swim stops, the Hvar visit, the food, drinks, and the atmosphere on board. We try to make sure there’s enough space and time for everyone to relax and enjoy each moment, so it means a lot that you noticed and appreciated that. A big thank you for your kind words about Manuela — she always puts her heart into making sure everyone feels welcome and looked after. We’ll be sure to pass on your compliments to her and the rest of the crew. Thanks again for joining us and sharing your experience. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!
