- Jelsa - Following a swim on Hvar Island, the journey continues to Jelsa, the most popular town on the island’s northern side. Visitors will have an hour to explore the town and enjoy a coffee. Jelsa welcomes over 5,000 visitors each day.
- Zečevo - The next stop is Zečevo Island, the smallest island on the itinerary. Zečevo is famous for its turquoise waters in the bay, known locally as the Blue Lagoon. The island features a fantastic waterfront Bungalow Bar and is only 1.5km long and 200m wide at its narrowest point.
- Žirje Beach - The final destination is the third island, Brač. The visit includes the secluded bay of Zirje, celebrated for its peaceful turquoise waters and breathtaking natural scenery. Brač Island is very tranquil, so visitors can expect to be among the few renting a boat in the hidden bay, possibly encountering one or two others, ensuring a private experience.

Island, coves, cave and dolphins - It was top Organized the meeting place clear and the skipper was very friendly.
The drive to the island and caves went about 40min and from there, from bay to bay. With a stop for an hour on an island where you could enjoy shopping, ice cream, food and aperitif.
Glasses and snorkeling had it to use on the boat.
There are life jackets for children and one for adults.
The highlight was how by chance even more dolphins have seen.
Thank you for the mega great experience and great boat trip

To do without hesitation - Nice excursion to do without hesitation if you are around. The scenery is beautiful and the outboard movement allows, in addition to the sensations, to see plenty in 6 hours

A Beautiful Boat Cruise - Had a beautiful afternoon out on the boat, visiting the different places. The water for snorkelling was superb, with great visibility and swimming amongst the small fish. Visiting Jelsa was also a highlight, such a beautiful village. The driver was a fantastic host for the afternoon. We thoroughly recommend this tour for anyone!

Surprisingly beautiful half-day trip - This half-day speedboat tour was a fantastic way to explore the coast around Makarska without taking up the entire day. The trip included several swim stops at beautiful, hidden spots and a visit to the charming town of Jelsa.
One of the highlights was a small sea cave near Hvar. We swam through a narrow opening into near complete darkness. When we turned back toward the entrance, we saw a glowing blue light pouring in from outside. It was a brief but magical experience that was quiet and unforgettable.
In Jelsa, we had time to relax, enjoy a coffee, and stroll through the peaceful streets of the old town.
The crew was friendly, relaxed, and well organized, creating a pleasant atmosphere on board. The boat was comfortable, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
Compact, well-paced, and rich with small, unforgettable moments. I highly recommend it.

Good experience - We were a group of 11 landlubbers. (8-75 years) So for us this was a very good experience.
We were lucky enough to get a boat with ladder for the elderly. Colnago 38
We did not go this tour specifically but did not find our way here on trip.
But on this tour you get better snorkeling than at the hotel beach.
Little blue cave was cool. Unfortunately we had clouds in front of the sun when we were there so we did not get the same blue phenomenon as if it had been sun. But if you were in the cave looking out the opening underwater , it was cool .
Vrboska (little Venice) was a cozy place and the stop of 1h was just enough
Blue lagoon was the best snorkeling water of the stops we made.
The crew was very nice and professional.
Total tur ca 5h
Ride the boat about 1.5-2h
Stop in Vrboska about 1h
Grottan 20min
Blue lagoon 20-30min
Other stop at the ends about 20 min
I give 4/5 because we didn't have the sun when we were in the cave
