- Stiniva Cove - Following the Blue Cave visit, the journey continues along the southeast coast of Vis Island to Stiniva Beach. This beach is a must-visit for a swim, having been recognized as one of Europe’s most captivating and beautiful beaches, and was named the best European beach in 2016.
- Budikovac Island - Among the many islands in the Vis channel, Budikovac stands out with its charming beach bar and excellent swimming spots. For those who prefer not to swim, enjoying a drink at the local beach bar is a delightful alternative.
- Hvar - The final destination on the tour is the island of Hvar, a world-renowned tourist hotspot. Visitors will have approximately two hours of free time in Hvar city, ample for a meal. The skipper ensures there is sufficient time for both sightseeing and dining. Notable sights include the hilltop fortress, Main Square, and St. Stephen’s Cathedral.
- Pakleni Islands - Located in front of Hvar town, the Pakleni Islands are celebrated for their beauty. Although uninhabited year-round, each island offers unique attractions, from bars and restaurants to beaches and the aroma of pines and local herbs. The correct name is PAKLINSKI Islands, derived from “Paklina,” a black resin from the local pines used in shipbuilding. The Pakleni Islands mark the tour’s final stop, with a chance to witness a breathtaking sunset on the return to Split, providing a perfect conclusion to a perfect day.

Favorite trip! - We did a few tours from Split and this one was the best. We had so much fun being on the boat, swimming, checking out the islands and hiking around Hvar. Only down side was there were not snorkels, and they didn’t have enough masks for everyone. Overall it was an amazing day to be out on the water. Highly recommend!

Great multi-island tour - Trip was great. Sara was a great sailor/guide and Karlo was a great skipper.
Would definitely recommend - this was a great way to see multiple different islands/locations in one day. Blue Cave was amazing and we were able to swim and snorkel at multiple places and also explore two towns which was perfect.

Could be a lot better - Like other reviewers have mentioned, this tour involves a lot of boat travel time and no snorkels were provided. One of the beach stops was changed to just a photo stop without any explanation. At the tour office before the tour started, we were told to pay for the Blue Cave entrance tickets in cash, including for our 8 year old. At the blue cave, one of the crew members bought the tickets upon arrival and didn’t give one to our kid because he said one wasn’t needed. So why was money collected for the Blue Cave for her? We also had to wait over an hour for our group’s turn to go into the Blue Cave because regular tickets were purchased by the crew instead of fast pass tickets. That is a lot of time wasted, which cut into time that was supposed to be spent elsewhere.
This tour could be a lot better and though we had a good time overall, we felt there was a lot of bait and switches.

Terrified - Wonderful lovely excursion until we would go the last leg back to Split. We had to hold on cramped to not fly off the boat.

Not worth going and did not go to two of the five advertised spots - I booked the blue cave and fine island tour directly from Booker in Split old town because it was cheaper at 105 euro than booking it online. I regret going on the tour and do not recommend it. The first stop was Komiza which is a charming fishing village, very cute and probably my favorite stop. They then told us blue lagoon was closed so we could not go. They then took us to stiniva bay but rather than letting us get off and swim, we just took photos from the boat and the view is just a little bit of beach between the two rocks. They said the tide was high and more boats were coming in and the ones that went to the beach were smaller. We then went to the blue lagoon. The snorkel equipment they advertised was just the mask but not the snorkel and was old. Anyway, the water was nice and clear but no coral reef so the fish were small and not colorful. Nothing special. There is a donkey in the island and I paid 2 euro to use the restroom. Next we went to hvar and only had 2 hours. That was also our lunch spot and by the time we finished eating we could only climb up to the fort look around quickly and race back. They took us to an island 5 minutes away that consisted of a beach bar that you had to pay to get to the other side of the island. I would have much rather stayed on hvar than go to this island. Our guides were uninspired. They did not point out things along the way or tell us in advance where we were headed. When we asked they said I don’t know yet. If we had known we were going to the last stop, we could have asked to stay on hvar for longer. Other tour reviews said their tour offered a partial refund if they did not get to go to blue lagoon. We did not go to blue lagoon or Stinivia but no refund was offered. If I knew the tour was going to be like that if the blue lagoon was not possible then I would have taken a ferry to spend the day on hvar as there are some things that are only open at certain times, such as the monestary where the nuns weave the lace, that did not fall within the two hours we were there. The other stops were not worth going to in my opinion unless you just want to spend the day in the speedboat and don’t care where you go.

Disappointing Trip - I would not recommend this tour, particularly during peak tourist season. The ride to the Blue Cave took one hour and 45 minutes, after which we had to wait nearly two hours to get in. After that, we were supposed to stop at Stiniva for a swim, but were unable to because there were too many other boats there already. We were diverted to the Blue Lagoon instead, and were given one hour to swim. Following that, we rode to Hvar and were given one hour and 45 minutes to walk around, which is barely enough time to enjoy the island. The final stop was a crowded beach in one of the Pakleni Islands, where we stayed less than an hour. Neither the Blue Cave nor the beaches were spectacular, and we stopped at four islands only. Most of the day was spent in the boat, traveling between destinations. The boat ride was very choppy, and there was extremely loud music playing the entire time. Save your money and spend time at other beautiful beaches along the coast of Croatia. Alternatively, spend more money and hire a company to take you on a private tour where you’ll have the opportunity to stop at destinations of your choice.
