Blue cave and Hvar - 5 Islands speedboat tour from Split

We took the Blue Shark boat tour in Croatia on September 4th and, unfortunately, the experience did not meet our expectations, especially considering the €125 per person price. The boat departed around 40 minutes late and returned about an hour earlier than scheduled. The skipper was driving at very high speed, which made us feel unsafe. Even more concerning, two people in our group could not swim, yet there was no safety briefing and we were not shown where the life jackets were. The guide was also not very attentive to the passengers and spent much of the trip on her phone. While the boat was travelling at high speed, she rarely looked back to check on the group. The boat was also different from the one shown in the company’s website photos, which was disappointing. We also could not clearly identify or access the advertised toilet on board. For €125 per person, we expected a much more professional and safety-conscious experience. Unfortunately, we would not recommend this tour based on our experience.

Good choice of music a book for on the beach would have been Nice of you don't swim

I did the Five Island Tour with four of my girlfriends, and we had a wonderful time! Nino and Marita were fantastic hosts and made the entire day easy, fun, and enjoyable. At each stop, Nino would give us a little history and background about the destination before we got off the boat, which we really appreciated. At one of the stops, Marita even dove down into the water and brought up a sea urchin so she could tell us a little about it. She also shared some interesting information about the local marine life and ecology, which was such a fun and unexpected part of the experience. Everything ran smoothly, we never felt rushed, and the whole day was relaxed and enjoyable. We had such a great time and would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

+1

The crew was great. Free water provided. The boat has seats for 13 people in the shade and an area on the back for sitting in the sun. We were even able to make a 6th stop. We were in the water for three of the stops. Bring snacks because you eat after 1pm on Hvar. I do wish they had snorkels as advertised. They only have masks to borrow. But it was a perfect day and the crew did a wonderful job of keeping us safe and sharing their knowledge.

The tour was well at organized with abundant time at each stop. I enjoyed the information the guides shared, history, culture and ecology. The guides didn't hover but were available if we had questions. The boat was great with cover inside and a deck off the back of you wanted more sun. Loved it and would do it again.

Marita and Nino are wonderful and really kind, I had an excellent time and super fun day, I really recommended going on this tour

The Blue Cave and the 5 islands tour was an amazing experience from start to finish. We loved everything about it! Marita and Nino were wonderful guides — very friendly, kind and professional. They made the whole trip even more enjoyable. We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend this tour!

This tour was by far the best day trip I have ever experienced. Marita and Nino are the best guides from Split you could ever ask for. Extremely knowledgeable and generous with their time explaining the relevant history and facts about each location we visited. Despite the Blue Cave being closed due to high tides, we visited an additional location instead which was equally amazing. Very good value for money and I would highly recommend to anyone considering.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best boat trips I’ve ever been on. Everything was well organized, right on time, and the captain was professional, friendly, and made us feel comfortable throughout the trip. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
