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.

Fun day! I liked the mix of swim stops and time in Hvar. The boat host, Lea, was great - friendly, fun, and made sure everyone taken care of. Food was great. I looked at a lot of boat tour options and I’m glad we went with this one. Would definitely recommend!
Cat_H, Aug 2026
A wonderful trip with great crew on board.
Plentiful food and drinks.
Hvar is a must see.
Highly recommend this trip.
Stephanie_S, Aug 2026
Absolutely worth the money! The host and helpers are awesome and make sure everyone has a good time. Good food, unlimited drinks, and beautiful swimming spots.
sriche27, Aug 2026
Hands down this was the absolute BEST Split Islands trip ever!! It exceeded our expectations with great staff, delicious food and beverages included, and the most beautiful swim stops with time in Hvar. Could not have been better ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
lorraine_r, Aug 2026
This is one of the most unique and fun ways to visit some of the Croatian islands! The journey, the crew, and the experience were all wonderful. As someone who can be very critical of these sorts of group outings I have zero complaints!
Here are some questions that I had prior to boarding that may help the next traveler:
Will I be too hot? No! There is plenty of shade over the entire boat except the nets.
Should I bring a towel? Nice but not necessary
Will there be enough food, drinks, water? Yes and with two hours in Hvar you will have plenty of time for a snack. There was no shortage of beverages either.
Best piece of advice: get there early so you can get a good seat - honestly they are all fine but if you want a picnic table type seat arrive earlier than suggested.
To Lea and crew thank you so much for such an awesome day on the Adriatic! You all work so well together and we’re so kind! It was clear you would do whatever you could to give the guests the best experience based on their unique needs.
Also sometimes when I read reviews I think it’s because the tour operators ask - in this case that was not the situation it was just so good and the crew was so great.
Kiera_Q, Aug 2026
We had the best time!! It was the perfect way to spend a hot day. The pace was great, we were always watered and well-fed, and it was a full boat but not overcrowded. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to get out on the water while you’re visiting Split!
rachel_s, Jul 2026
Kaia was amazing and brought the energy! She was so much fun! Had a great time and met some really cool people. The swimming spots are awesome and the water is so clear. Hvar was amazing and so beautiful. Food on the boat was great and they kept the drinks going. Had a great experience. Highly recommend for solo and family travelers.

Great experience! Swam at lots of different spots. The walking tour in Hvar was very interesting and not too long so we had free time to do what we wanted. The crew were wonderful and the entertainment was great. My partner and I really enjoyed ourselves and had a great day.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Dear Josie,
Thank you for the kind review.
We are glad you enjoyed visiting several different spots and that the walking tour in Hvar gave you enough time to explore at your own pace. It always means a lot to us to receive such lovely feedback about our crew, as they work hard to make every tour a memorable experience.

Bring a towel. They provide sufficient meals and drinks served after 10:30 which was nice! The hosts could have done more to encourage friendliness among the crowd. They did their announcement and then just hung out with eachother but an ice breaker or something to get people knowing eachother would have made it 5 stars. Because after the first swim stop there is a 2 hour boat ride straight, I would bring a book or something to do. This would have been a perfect time for them to go around asking people where they are from or anything to create a cohesive atmosphere. Bathroom on board was great! Staff was attentive if you needed them but didn’t go above or beyond. Bring sunscreen! Boat was also packed so get there early if you want a seat/ to sit in shade especially on hot days.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Dear Alexis,
thank you for your detailed feedback!
We’re glad you enjoyed the meals, drinks, comfort of the boat, and our team’s attentiveness. We appreciate your suggestions about creating more interaction among guests and will keep them in mind as we continue improving the experience.

If you, like me, are scrolling through hundreds of reviews of the boat tours, stop right now and book this one. It was such a fantastic day. Saw many reviews of smaller boats being a little rough on the water and this was not the case with the larger catamaran. It was extremely smooth and relaxing without feeling too crowded. We had 3 stops for swimming, each ~30-40 min with snorkeling masks & noodles provided. The food served was quite good. The meals and swimming were really well spaced out throughout the day. We had just over two hours in Hvar with an optional 30 min tour with a local guide & then time to explore. Some people even had time to get on a smaller boat tour from Hvar to see the blue lagoon, we stayed in the town and had some delicious coffee & ice cream and shopped. The guides on board were so fun and friendly and the drinks were flowing!!! If you want this to be a party day it certainly can be, but there were also families on board having a blast. The music was great and the whole boat turned into an epic dance floor on the way back to Split. A full day of fun from start to finish. We love you Mia & co!

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

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.

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.

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 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!
