A great sail by the Island from Split - Going to Hvar, Vis and the blue cave was a memorable trip. I’m so in love of Croatia and the beautiful color of its sea. We when to swim at two different spots around Vis Island: the blue lagoon and other spot that I still amazed of the cobalt blue color of the water near Stiniva Beach

Great trip with good guide and driver. - After reading the really negative reviews, I was quite shocked. We had an amazing trip on 8/8/23. Our boat was comfortable and shaded. The driver and guide were two young men who were very friendly and full of information. Could not fault them. The lady in the office wasn’t the friendliest but it was very early!

Blue Cave trip - We were lucky and got to go into the Blue Cave. It was beautiful but there were other boats in at the same time so getting pictures was difficult. I chose this tour because of the picture of the boat… sadly, ended up our boat did not look like that one. It had bench seats and not the bucket seats shown. The boat was a bit slow as other boats passed us. Our boat captain and assistant were both super nice guys and they did a great job (Carlos and Alberto (maybe)). The office shows that the trip cost 25E lots than what we paid via TripAdvisor so not sure this is the best place to purchase tickets.

Misleading company - I was sold this trip and booked it on the basis we would go to 6 islands. I double checked this and then went on the trip to be told this particular boat company didn’t visit all 6 islands. Be wary when booking with this company.

Over priced with no Blue Cave tour! - The highlight of this trip for us was going to THE BLUE CAVE! Our tour started ten minutes late because the receptionist and tour guide were discussing something. Our first stop was suppose to be to the blue cave but we detoured to small fishing village. After walking through the streets for 15-20 minutes we realized there was nothing to do here except to have coffee and breakfast around the marina area. This was an hour and 15 minute stop. Once back on the boat we were informed that the blue cave was closed but would probably reopen in an hour so we made another stop at a swimming area where the only way to get to the beach was to swim. After another hour once again we were told the blue cave was still closed due to weather and that the special boats couldn’t fit inside so we would go to Blue lagoon for another swim. We were there for approximately 1.5 hours. Once back on boat we were told the blue cave was still closed and we would be continuing on to Hvar for lunch and exploring on our own. We were there for about 2.5 hours. When we got back on boat again we were told that blue cave was still closed and that even if it did reopen we were too far away from it to go back so they opted to take us to another small fishing village where once again there was literally nothing to do or see there. This was a 30 minute stop. The young boat driver and the tour guide (even though there was no touring) were very nice and tried to make up for blue cave being closed. Overall we felt like they knew before the tour started that the blue cave was closed but didn’t give us the option to cancel or reschedule and that is why I’m giving this rating a 3 star. It is not worth $105.00/per person. If you go on this tour ask before tour starts if blue cave is open or go to actual blue cave website and check!

Don’t book here - I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the day tour I recently booked with your company. I had high expectations for this experience, but unfortunately, it fell far short of what was promised. Firstly, upon arriving at the tour, I discovered that the boat was overbooked, with at least one person more than the boat's capacity. As a result, my companion and I were forced to sit on garden chairs and on the floor, which was both uncomfortable and unsafe. Furthermore, the tour did not follow the complete itinerary as described in the booking. There were deviations from the promised route, and some of the attractions or activities mentioned were omitted. Another issue was the lack of communication from the tour guides. We expected to receive information and insights about the places we were visiting, but the guides remained largely silent throughout the journey, leaving us feeling uninformed and disappointed. To compound matters, when we attempted to address these concerns and find a solution, we were informed that the manager was unavailable and could not be reached. This lack of accessibility to management hindered our ability to resolve the issues on the spot. I booked this tour with high hopes of a memorable experience, but the multiple issues I encountered have left me deeply dissatisfied. I hope that you will take my feedback into account and work towards improving your services to ensure a better experience for future customers.

Do NOT take this tour - We skipped 2 islands, tour guide was on her phone entire time. Only spoke to us when telling us what time to return to boat, we had to wait for her and captain 45 minutes while they ate, I almost fell out of boat and captain remarked "Well you can swim?" Pieces of boat fell off, buoy hit passenger in head, metal handle flew off boat and almost hit passenger, captain unsafe driving boat

Great sites, but disappointing tour! - There was a lot of activity packed into one day, with beautiful sights and great swim spots, however I would not recommend this company to anyone wishing to explore the Croatian islands. At the start of the day, we were instructed to arrive at the meeting spot at 7:15am, with a prompt departure from Split at 7:30am. However, we did not leave the port until 8:30am, justified by poor excuses from the company. The boat for the tour was a small, inflatable boat, unlike any images that were displayed on the website. Five minutes after departing Split, our boat was approached by the Police, in which our driver was taken off of our boat for questioning that lasted approximately 15 minutes. We were given only one 500mL bottle of water for the entire day, and there was minimal shade available on the boat. Upon arriving at the Blue Cave dock, our driver was having great trouble paying for our groups tickets, due to an issue with his credit card (even though we were instructed to bring cash to purchase our tickets for the day), delaying our departure to the cave by another 15 minutes. Further, at one of swimming spots on the trip, our daughter was badly stung on the face by a jellyfish, to which our driver was dismissive of her pain, insisting that she was merely in a state of “psychological distress”. There was also no ice onboard the boat to treat her injury or relieve her pain. After several unnecessary stops, including a 20 minute docking to allow passengers to shower at Carpe Diem, we began our journey back to Split. During this boat trip, he allowed a young passenger to drive the boat completely by herself for an extended period of time. Overall, despite visiting some beautiful locations including Blue Cave, this tour was incredibly poorly organised. I would not recommend this tour to anyone visiting Split, and if you do want to see these sites and visit these locations, book a tour with another company!!
