Fabulous day out on the Blue Cave and 5 Islands tour. Mimosa and Hvar are beautiful and the swim spot was stunning. With a great crew and a cool speedboat doing 28 knots and only carrying 12 passengers what more could you want. Highly recommended.
We just returned from the tour and feel cheated. The meeting point they sent us took us to another location. They made us wait 45 minutes from the time we were supposed to meet (we were supposed to meet at 7:15 AM and it left at 8 AM). Moreover, we entered the boat and had to pay 18 euros to see the Blue Cave (this was not indicated), and we had already spent 145 euros per person. The guide was very nice, but there wasn't much cultural explanation. It is a scam! It is better to do it independently because it is not 11 hours. We left at 8 and arrived at 5:30 PM.
Estimado Gracias por compartir su opinión. Lamentamos que su experiencia no haya cumplido con sus expectativas. Nos gustaría aclarar algunos puntos importantes. En todos los detalles de la reserva se indica claramente que el check-in está previsto entre las 7:15 y las 7:30 de la mañana, mientras que la salida de la embarcación está programada entre las 7:30 y las 8:00, dependiendo de la temporada, del proceso de check-in de todos los pasajeros y de las condiciones operativas del día. Además, si algún cliente se retrasa, intentamos esperar un tiempo razonable para evitar que pierda la excursión. Durante la temporada alta, a menudo salimos más cerca de las 7:30 para evitar las mayores aglomeraciones y los tiempos de espera en la Cueva Azul. En cuanto a la entrada de la Cueva Azul, esta no está incluida en el precio de la excursión, y dicha información aparece claramente indicada en la descripción de la actividad antes de realizar la reserva. El precio de la entrada es establecido por la administración de la Cueva Azul y debe abonarse por separado en el lugar. También nos gustaría aclarar que la duración prevista de la excursión es de aproximadamente 10 horas, no de 11 horas. El regreso suele realizarse entre las 17:15 y las 18:00 horas, dependiendo de factores específicos que afectan nuestro horario diario, como las condiciones meteorológicas, el estado del mar, el tráfico marítimo, la afluencia de visitantes en los diferentes destinos y el tiempo de espera para acceder a la Cueva Azul. Por lo tanto, un regreso a las 17:30 está completamente dentro del horario habitual de esta excursión. Nos alegra saber que encontró a nuestro guía amable y profesional. Al mismo tiempo, lamentamos que no haya quedado satisfecho con la cantidad de información proporcionada durante el recorrido y tendremos en cuenta su comentario para seguir mejorando la experiencia de nuestros huéspedes. Asimismo, dado que menciona que recibió un punto de encuentro diferente y que cierta información no estaba claramente indicada, le agradeceríamos que nos contactara directamente con los datos de su reserva. Si fuera tan amable de indicarnos dónde realizó la reserva, el precio que pagó y qué punto de encuentro le fue comunicado, nos ayudaría mucho a investigar el caso y verificar si ha habido algún malentendido o error por parte de alguno de nuestros socios de venta. Atentamente, Equipo de Adriatica Transfer
Not what I excepted… It was supposed to be a 11 hours trip through the most thrilling islands of Croatia but you are going to spend most of the day waiting. You are going to start late and gonna end soon as well; maybe 9 hours since you step on the boat. Most of the information provided was little to none on each place we visited.
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that the tour is advertised as an approximately 10-hour excursion, not 11 hours. Check-in takes place between 7:15 and 7:30 AM, while departure is scheduled between 7:30 and 8:00 AM. The exact departure time depends on the season, the check-in process for all guests, and daily operational factors. During peak season, we often depart earlier within this timeframe to avoid longer queues at the Blue Cave. The return time is generally between 5:15 PM and 6:00 PM, depending on factors such as weather conditions, sea state, maritime traffic, waiting times at the Blue Cave, and congestion at the destinations visited. Therefore, the duration of the tour may vary slightly from day to day. Regarding waiting times, unfortunately the Blue Cave is one of Croatia’s most visited natural attractions, and waiting periods are sometimes unavoidable, especially during the high season. These conditions affect all operators equally and are outside of our control. We are also sorry to hear that you felt there was insufficient information provided during the tour. Our excursions are designed primarily as sightseeing and swimming experiences, with our skippers providing practical information and highlights about each destination. Nevertheless, we appreciate your feedback and will use it to further improve the experience we offer our guests. If you believe that you received incorrect information regarding the itinerary, duration, or any other aspect of the tour, we would kindly ask you to contact us directly with your booking details. Please let us know where you made the reservation and provide any information that was shared with you. We would be happy to investigate the matter, identify where the misunderstanding may have occurred, and see how we can assist you with your situation. Kind regards

The music and vibes throughout the trip added something special and made every stop even more enjoyable. The crew were friendly, fun, and made everyone feel welcome. The Blue Cave and island stops were beautiful, but the energy on the boat made the day. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Split,definitely one of the highlights of our trip!
