- Blue Cave - Join us on our speedboat for an exhilarating 90-minute journey to the UNESCO-listed Vis Archipelago. Our first destination is the renowned BLUE CAVE on Biševo Island. Upon arrival, we’ll secure tickets and you’ll transfer to a small fisherman’s boat where a local skipper/guide will lead you into the Cave. WOW! Photos can’t capture the true beauty of this place. No filters are needed as the sunlight reflects off the white sandy bottom, creating a vivid blue hue that makes your photos and videos look almost surreal.
- Stiniva Cove - Cherish this memory as we continue our cruise around Vis Island to our next swimming spot, STINIVA BAY. What a location, what a beach! Dive into the crystal-clear waters, soak up some Vitamin D on the beach, and marvel at the stunning cliffs in the background.
- Budikovac Island - Next, we head to the nearby BLUE LAGOON area near Budikovac Island. Ready for some snorkeling? Grab our gear. The turquoise waters and white sandy bottom make for perfect underwater photos and selfies.
- Pakleni Islands - In the latter part of our day, we proceed to the Hvar Island area, starting with the PAKLINI ISLANDS. This beautiful chain of wooded isles offers ideal spots for swimming or enjoying lunch. Take a recommendation from our crew and sample some Dalmatian cuisine specialties.
- Hvar Island - Last but not least, we visit the Town of Hvar. Explore the cultural landmarks, visit the Fortica fortress for a perfect photo opportunity of what we call “the Croatian St. Tropez”.
We conclude our tour in the late afternoon with a boat ride from Hvar back to Split.

Beautiful cruise around islands - Anja was an amazing hostess, worked very hard to make our tour enjoyable. Food was delicious and Anja was very prompt on serving us. We had vegetarian and tuna dish.
As for the tour it was very relaxing, Anja made sure we were well informed of times and places to meet. Wonderful day had by all, very friendly time with others on the tour. Warning, when Anja tells you times to be back, pay attention, that way we all have a good time.

3 island tour fun - Anja was SUPER amazing and made the trip extra fun. Her energy was so great and she not only ensure we knew what was going on but came over to make sure we were good and even joined us in conversation a bit about weird foods. :)
Enjoy the ride and would Def do it again but would need Anja as our host.

Great trip, medium food. - Good and service friendly crew. Relax and cold fries. No soda, but plenty of white wine, water and juice. Suitable long breaks/stops. Marko was charismatic and friendly.

Great tour, but maybe skip the Blue Caves .... - All the Islands visited were wonderful, super pretty with a decent amount of time at each, however, it should be made clear that if you visit the Blue Caves in the summer months then expect to wait a good 2 HOURS - this is mainly due to 'priority pass' customers on trips from Vis island and those that have spent 600 euros for a private boat trip into the caves. We found ourselves waiting as more and more 'priority pass' customers skipped the queue.
The caves were wonderful, but not worth the wait....

The only good thing was... - The only good thing was we really visited the Blue Cave which was amazing. Except for this, other things were not good. The worst one was that the captian drove the speedboat well but he did play with another speedboat which started with us at the same time and for about two minutes kept very very close in high speed behind that speedboat. We can't image what would happen if one of them missed his control a little. Besides, the guide stopped one small village for her breakfast coffe. We just felt it was waste of time. Another place she stopped is a small port we found nothing to see. For the Hvar Island, she let us stay for lunch so we did not have sufficent time to visit. In addition, she brought us to the spaces for Blue Lagoon and Stiniva Cove beach. After arriving, she told us one of the beaches was closed and another one cannot be reached for some reasons. We had nothing to see and just wasted time to be driven there. It was not her fault but the operator company's problem. The situations did not happen only that day but already many days. The operator should let us have option to quit the tour or offer other alternatives for us. The operator should have an operator's responsibilites!

OK but not great. - We waited an hour to get in the blue cave which was ok as it can be up to 2 hours on busy days. The blue Lagoon isn’t really worth going to unless you swim nothing to eat minimal drinks and not much shade we were really just waiting to leave. Hvar was much better and the restaurant we went to was good. Overall worth going not much information about the islands etc but the boat was nice. Overall ok but not great.

Completely irresponsible guide - We had booked this five Island Tour with the gray line the day before departure (13/9). We were informed that the weather could mean that the trip might have to be changed to a trip on three islands at a different Award. We will be informed that we will be contacted if this is the case.
As we arrive for the tour the next morning (14/9) there is no notice of the weather until we have sailed out of the harbor. Here it is informed that the weather conditions are too unsafe to sail to the blue lagoon, and that the trip is therefore changed, which is fully understandable since the guides have nothing to stand up against the weather. However, we would like to know this before departure.
The first two islands were super lovely and we enjoy the trip out there, however the guide was not very informative and we participants were a little left to ourselves. After Hvar we visited a bath stop right nearby. However, no snorkeling and other equipment were offered. Similarly, it was necessary to purchase a sun chair for 50 euros if you wanted to have access to the beach. All in all, the trip was good.
As we continue from this stop the waves are very violent and we are informed that the next stretch to Blue Lagoon would take 40 minutes.
This stretch takes an hour and a half, indicating that the weather conditions were unpredictable for the guide and the captain. We are two young women but had to use all our powers to get stuck to the boat. No one was wearing life vests and no safety measures were notified. There was no indication that this stretch would become so wild, so we felt that we were left to ourselves and at no time the guide tried to help us who sat at the front of the boat. The waves were very high and the whole situation felt very unsafe. The substrate on which he sat fell down on the boat floor, but due to the conditions it was impossible to release the grip in the relay and get it in place. If we hadn’t held very tight, we’d end up in the water. Due to the high speed and great waves it had been almost impossible to help a man overboard. We were happy that there were no children or elderly on board as it had been difficult for them to stay on the boat. I have got blue marks up and down my arms to get stuck to the boat and get thrown around.
When we reached the blue lagoon the guide said that "it was a little wild trip, she had almost fallen asleep", this indicates how little she took her work and responsibilities seriously.
The rest of the tour was unmarked but the complete lack of safety and responsibility on the part of the guides ruins the whole trip.
Other weather conditions would have made the trip unproblematic, but to sail out without informing yourself about the weather situation and offering life vests is very irresponsible.
