Ante was very accommodating as I only booked onto this very last minute. The boat was great and had a nice sun deck, unlike some of the ones that agencies use. Tino and Roza were both very friendly and made the experience all the better, giving a few fun facts at each stop. Due to the long wait to get into the Blue Cave we went to see Monk Seal Cave on Biševo Island in the meantime which was very nice. Also impressive was Tino's steering skills here as he backed up into the cave itself with barely enough room on either side! It would have been nicer to spend more time at Stiniva beach on Vis and also to explore Hvar, however conditions/timing meant this was not possible and so the crew kindly made up for it by taking us to Brač. The day goes by quick - I would say the Blue Cave is worth seeing as it is amazing inside, but be prepared to wait and perhaps sacrifice some time doing so at the other spots. As Hvar is a little further you could also suggest to Roza and Tino to just go to Brač and explore the town there, as this is much closer to Split and avoids extended time where you are just travelling on the water (Hvar in itself was beautiful and may deserve a separate ferry trip to explore for a day). All in all I was very impressed by the organisation of the experience and can't thank Ante, Tino and Roza enough for for accommodating me. Roza was very easy to chat to and always happy to help - while waiting to get into the Blue Cave I did not have enough cash on me to buy some food and she was kind enough to lend me money. Can't recommend this experience enough and a must-do if you are in Split - it felt much more personalised than one of the agency tours you can book by the pier (I had previously done a half day one with an agency)!
