“Amazing experience! Sat on the top deck with my family (group of 6) & had the best time with Emily as our guide! Started the morning off with some traditional shots & made our way through the beautiful islands. The open bar (white wine & local liquor) was just enough to keep the party going & the lunch was more than enough food! We had an amazing time & will recommend to all my friends & family visiting Dubrovnik!”

Review of Split’s Blue Cave, Mamma Mia, Hvar and five-island speedboat tour, with route details, costs, comfort tips and honest advice.

“Amazing day out on the water exploring a few different islands in Croatia! Note that this is a speedboat tour, and you do go FAST! Our group enjoyed it, but if you’re looking for a relaxed sailing experience, it’s not this. You have time to explore the islands of Vis, the Blue Lagoon and Hvar. We were able to get in to the Blue Cave as well which was a treat. Gina and Jakob were amazing guides!”

The crew was very accommodating and friendly, the lunch was delicious (we had the fish and chicken - each served with cabbage slaw and cucumbers and wine or soda), and the boat was very comfortable and well maintained. We felt that we had the perfect amount of time to explore each island. The views while sailing were gorgeous! We would highly recommend!”

Review of Split’s Blue Cave and six-island speedboat tour, with itinerary, costs, comfort tips, sea conditions, and booking advice.

“Ok so I’m gonna start with the worst first as it’s the most important. Blue cave was closed, ok no biggie, at least refund that ticket but the problem was this, instead we go to this submarine cave and I thought ok cool but instead of pulling up to the dock they pull to the side and make us crawl up this 4ft ledge. I had to use my legs/knees to do that and scrapped and bruised them all up. Like why would you risk injuries to your passengers? I even said, I can’t do that. “Oh yes you can I’ll help you” totally wrong. I got pictures of how…”

7.Blue Lagoon & 3 Islands Small-Group Speedboat Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,932 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $84

Review of Split’s Blue Lagoon speedboat tour, with Trogir, Šolta, snorkeling, costs, comfort tips, and advice on who should book.

“The tour guide and boat skipper were charming and informative and made the trip seamless. They played great music for everyone to enjoy. The tour company was excellent at reaching out and responding to queries throughout. About the trip itself we would have preferred to have the opportunity to jump in the blue lagoon from the boat but I guess being a speed boat it needed to take us to the pier so that we could access the beach per se. The beach area is quite limited and crowded, unless you go on a boat that can dock on a cove where you can jump from the boat and access…”

Review of Dubrovnik’s 3-island boat tour, with Lopud, Šipan, Koločep, lunch, drinks, music, pricing, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Pick up was on time and for the most part, the cruise was lovely. The highlight was Lopud and I could easily have spent more time there instead a rushed visit to the other two rather boring islands. On the downside, the captain was a grump and some of us did not get the requested lunch as they ran out.”

Review of Split’s Blue Cave and six-island speedboat tour, with Hvar, Komiža, swimming stops, costs, comfort tips, and honest drawbacks.

“We really enjoyed our 6-island boat trip! Our guide, Emil, was fantastic - super friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt safe and had fun. Even though it’s not peak summer anymore, we still got to snorkel and explore all the beautiful spots, and the smaller crowds made it even better. Zipping around on the speedboat was such a highlight - a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Highly recommend this tour!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,947 reviews · from $94

Spend 10.5 hours island-hopping from Split to the Blue Cave, Vis, Hvar, Stiniva, Budikovac, and Pakleni Islands by speedboat.

“We had such a fun day out! Our guide Simon was so so lovely and made the day even better. The speed boat between each island was so fun, would definitely recommend not wearing shorts and wearing some kind of cover up as it does get quite cold. The islands were gorgeous and it’s worth the price.”
