Blue Cave Small-Group Boat Tour from Dubrovnik

2.Blue Cave Small-Group Boat Tour from Dubrovnik

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9,360 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $84Top rated

Review of Dubrovnik’s Blue Cave boat tour, with swimming, snorkeling, Sunj Beach, three caves, drinks, pricing, and practical tips.

“The boat tour with Dino was amazing, he was funny and very personable. The drinks were great and the caves were cool! The only reason we’re giving the review 4 stars is because they wouldn’t drop us off back at our hotel, the driver dropped us off on top of a hill and we had to walk all the way down to our hotel. If this is always the case I would suggest booking without the van pick up and just Bolt to and from the marina”

“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 guide we had (Duc) was excellent! He did such a good job and was very informative, knoweldgable and friendly. We would definitely recommend him. The whole process of this tour was seamless. Worked out so well. The only drawback were the crowds! So many tour companies do this same experience. Also the food was beautiful to look at as a pretty buffet but was very average tasting somehow. We are not picky but the food was not great. We are still giving this 5 stars because overall it was a great experience. They took good care of us. Our tour guide Duc was so good and Ha Long Bay…”

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…”
