From Split: Blue cave & 5 Islands tour

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!

At first we hesitated to take the trip and afterwards it was the best choice ever! We discovered super beautiful beaches, the cave was magical and the guides Linda and Franco completed the experience. They were super sweet, fun and helpfull!

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.
