“Very Relaxing and Scenic - Great tour through Solta! This tour took us to some of the hot tourists spots like the Blue Lagoon and a shipwreck, but also off the beaten path to smaller beaches and ports where we could relax and enjoy some peace. Our skipper Stipe was very chill and cool with our group. Stipe booked us a fantastic local restaurant which was one of the best meals I’ve had in Croatia.” - Reviewed on 2024-09-02
