BLUE CAVE & 5 islands tour from Hvar

This was an absolutely amazing sailing tour! We recommend this one highly with this company. The guides were very fun and friendly and knowledgeable. They made some recommendations during our stops and kept us on schedule so much so that we were able to make a really cool "secret" stop they don't usually have time to make.

Great whole day boating experience exploring the islands and highlights around Hvar with our great Capt Chala! He was insightful about the history and geologic details of our destinations; our ride was smooth sailing and had great beats so we really enjoyed being on his boat. The only change I would suggest is spending less time in the end at the Pakleni Island beach club (loud and expensive) and more time at the awesome natural phenomenon of the Stivina Beach.

This boat trip was absolutely amazing and well worth the cost. The Blue Cave was truly outstanding, and I highly recommend paying the extra fee to visit it. The skippers were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and fun, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The boat itself was very comfortable, with plenty of space to relax throughout the journey. I would suggest bringing some snacks, especially if you’re planning a full day on the water. The scenery was breathtaking, with crystal-clear blue waters everywhere we went. Overall, it was a perfect day and an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting the area.

First of all, we had great skippers who were super friendly and helpful and could explain a lot (many thanks to Luca!). However, it became clear before the start that the Blue Cave is closed. This was explained to us in the office by an employee who also offered us a full refund if we did not want to participate as a result. At that time, we had already driven 30 minutes to Hvar and parked our car for the whole day (costs!). Therefore, this was actually not an issue for us, and the employee informed us that there were plenty of other beautiful stops on the tour, so we decided to participate. The tour then started after a 30-minute wait (one should be there to register before the start, and with 30 people, that takes a bit of time) with about a 10-minute delay; the speedboat was nice and spacious enough for 12 people and 2 skippers. Our group was great, and we all got along well. We set off towards Vis, and the skipper told us a lot and showed us beautiful spots. We swam in a picturesque bay and visited the Green Cave (this was also officially closed, but there were so many boats on site that our skipper said we could approach it). We were then able to swim inside, as it was too choppy for the boat. He then showed us quite a bit along the rugged coast of Vis, and we made a longer stop in a small town called Kamiza(?) to refuel. In a cool hidden bay, we were able to swim through once and rest briefly on land. Then we continued to a hot spot whose name I forgot, as it was just a small beach with some bars and restaurants and in the background a small botanical garden (with small land tortoises). To be honest, we found the bay itself quite boring. After that, we made another stop at the Pakleni Islands and then headed back towards Hvar. We were at the harbor shortly after 5:30 PM, as we had booked a full-day tour. (Our half-day tour with another provider lasted just as long, however). Furthermore, the title of the excursion is misleading, as in my opinion, we did not visit 5 islands (Vis, Budikovac, Pakleni Islands/Hvar?), of course, we could not go to the Blue Cave due to the weather conditions/regulations, but we could have at least checked out the island of Biševo, etc.... Since we had a nice day overall and saw quite a bit that we otherwise would not have seen, it was all in all a nice tour with fun people. I hope that with this review, I have given others a little insight and I wish all future participants that the Blue Cave is open and that they also have a nice day.

Loved the boat speed, but that makes it feel bumpy. Great choices and times for stops. Blue cave was worth it!

Great day on the water! Blue cave is as amazing as it looks in pictures! We stopped at some of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen. We had lunch at an adorable little island town. Our captain, Luka, was the best!

Our day in the water seeing the various islands and swimming in the blue water was awesome. Our captains were very informative and courteous! They showed us some of the out of the way places and structure. We weren’t able to see the blue cave due to high tide. Next time maybe. Highly recommend!!

Great tour but not all inclusive. The guides were awesome. The boat ride is bumpy but we did not get sea sick as they were moving fast. The Blue Cave is gorgeous.

Fabulous day on the water! We loved snorkeling in the crystal clear waters, going into the Blue Cave and visiting a few small islands. Our driver/tour operators were very knowledgeable and so welcoming. I will say the seas are pretty choppy at times and you bounce around a lot, but they do warn this before hand.

Fantastic day! Speedboat was amazing! Got to experience several items, great swim spots! The Blue Cave is not to be missed!! Our crew was fantastic!! Highly recommend!!
