Honeymoon dream come true - Had the best time exploring Vis Island with Domagoj! Our time on the boat greatly exceeded our expectations with having such a knowledgeable skipper. He showed us the most beautiful beaches that felt tailored to our honeymoon private boat day. Even got to cliff jump a few times! The beaches we went to were not crowded at all giving us the feeling of such serenity. Domagoj made sure we had an experience of a lifetime on our full day adventure. Thank you for a perfect day!

Great day with Ivan! - We had such a great time on this boat tour! The boat was a bit smaller than expected for the size of the group, but our guide Ivan made sure everyone was comfortable and taken care of. He shared so much interesting information along the way and made the whole trip really fun. We visited several beautiful spots, and he even arranged a group lunch reservation for us at the end, which was a perfect way to wrap up the day. Overall, a fantastic experience!

Disappointed we didn't get to go but appreciate that the tour company gave us a full refund - We actually did not get to do the tour because Blue Cave was closed but very much appreciated being told this beforehand so we could get a full refund as we did not want to do the alternative tour.

Excellent speedboat ride - A magnificent experience, the company that organized the tour was to the pendiet that arrived, the gia and driver of the speedboat named Pope, very corrective in everything and the way of explaining each place we visited was very good, with a great sense of humor and very good recommendation where to eat, in short Excellent trip

We had an amazing tour... - We had an amazing tour with Ivan! It was so much fun with such good vibes. The waters were a bit more choppy the day we went out so it wasn’t safe to go into one of the caves, but we got redirected to another very cool area! Highly recommend this experience.

Fun day on the water! - Amazing day out on the water! Blue cave is definitely worth the entrance fee but don’t bother with Green cave. You can see all you need to see from the outside. We had a great group that made the day so fun! I gave it 4 star just because if you’re someone who likes to follow a schedule to a tee, it’s definitely not like that. Your skipper will decide where to dock for lunch. We thought we were going to Palmizana for lunch with multiple options but we went to Vis with only 1 option. There’s a cooler on board and we brought sandwiches and beers!

Terrible - Did not follow the itinerary- boat ride to lunch place. Unfortunately did not go to caves bc of weather but was told we would go to VIS and RED ROCKS. Did none of it. Not worth the money at all!!! Went to first stop and last stop and that was it. Otherwise it was just a simple boat ride for $120 a person. No town, no islands , no shopping. Very disappointed in this tour. Definitely would not recommend.

Advertised as blue and green cave tour. This was not true. - We picked this trip to visit the blue and green caves. We aren’t strong swimmers & knew that we wouldn’t be jumping off the boat to swim. But we were told there was a small boat to get on the beach. We were also told by the rep when checking in there was a bathroom on the boat (there was not) We only went to the blue cave. Then 2 spots for swimming. There was only 1 small boat for all the boats that anchored by the beach & it was full. We asked about the green cave, the Skipper said the only good time to go is 9 am otherwise you don’t see anything & pix for the green cave are Photoshopped. The tour started at 10:30 so that didn’t make any sense. Later researched the green cave & best times are early mourn and late afternoon. He asked if we wanted to still see it & we said I guess not. There was a couple who had dinner reservations at 6:30 & we didn’t want to cause a problem. So we went back to Split. It was obvious the Skipper had no intention of going to the green cave. Would not recommend this tour.
