The day started out wonderfully. We were picked up in the morning by our big boss Vedran who took us to our boat and explained everything that we needed to know in advance. He was such a funny and cool guy. We already knew our day was going to be great. Our skipper Jure was was by far the best captain. He cracked us up with jokes all day long and drove us to some of the most beautiful places we have ever seen. Our friendly guide Laura filled us up on all the information that we needed to know about every stop and was so kind! They took us to a really amazing restaurant and we had enough free time on every stop to see all of the beautifull seenery . Our day was totaly fullfiled. Thank you once again for this beautiful experience. We hope to see you again soon!!!

Such an amazing day exploring the islands. The blue cave was beautiful and definitely worth a visit. The town of Hvar was also amazing and beautiful. Everything was perfect, the hosts were very accommodating and informativebut left you to get on on your own at the same time - the perfect balance. We couldn’t recommend the tour enough to Antoine considering booking. It’s fantastic!!!

Everyone on the team was utterly charming, really helpful, funny and kind. We had our best day of the trip on this tour and felt we really got value for money. They changed the schedule as and when needed to make allowances for how busy some sights were etc and made sure we were never sat around waiting.

My friend and I booked this trip a day before we went. We were told it was going to be a nice ride to the following places: the blue cave, the blue lagoon, hvar, the islands that look like a squiggly line, and A beach thats voted the third best beach the world. When we arrived the morning, they told us the blue cave was closed which is the main reason we booked the trip. We come to find out that the blue cave is closed because of the high wind which also made the water extremely choppy. Therefore the boat ride was us holding on for lives, it was extremely extremely dangerous. Also the boat driver told us that the water is like this every three days so cave is usually closed every three days. He also told us they know that the cave is going to be closed days before but they still book trips. We not only didn’t do the blue cave but neither the blue lagoon, the islands that look like a squiggly line, and the beach thats voted the third best beach the world. We paid 100€ each for a trip we didn’t receive. After we got back we talked to one of the bookers and she was nice and called the woman in charge who was extremely unprofessional. The woman said that she doesn’t do refunds and said she doesn’t care if we enjoyed it and then hung up and blocked the number. This was the most poorly run company I’ve ever dealt with. Please don’t use this company if you’re going to do a tour. And make sure the water will be nice the day you’re going because if not, you wont get what you paid for.

Martina and Jure were awesome from start to the finish... What an amazing adventure and they made sure we didnt wait at any of the stops as they planned and phoned ahead. Very informative about the history of all the places as well!! Highly recommended and worth the little extra taking their first class boat which has amazing seats and is half enclosed for extra comfort.

We recently booked the Five Island/Blue cave excursion with Jure and Martina and it was an amazing trip from beginning to end . They were wonderfully entertaining hosts and the service and facilities were first class . If you want great value for money and an incredible adventure , you cannot go past Jure and Martina .

As it happened the day was one of glorious sunshine & that made the trip really enjoyable. The team of Martina & Jure was very good at what they were doing & kept us entertained apart from going about their jobs. The boat was good except for the toilet, which was out of order, & from other reports one can see, has been for quite some time. On the whole a fun day out at sea with great sights to take in.

It was great! Our guide Marin was awesome, he even showed us two more targets than specified, made a reservation for us in an excellent restaurant which was typically croatian, he had good knowledge of the visited spots and spoke good english so everyone could understand. Marin actually stoped the boat so that we could see some dolphins. The boat was really cool, we could take our swim and very easily get back on the boat with a leader in the back. We are totally inpressed and had a very nice day! We recommend this tour and Hello Blue Cave!!! Thank you very much.

Full day experience that was really enjoyable. Martina and Jure were both lovely and helpful, always ready to answer questions. The hour wait for the blue cave was rather long but what do you expect visiting in high season. It meant that we had to cut down our time at some other places but due to the small group numbers the trip was really flexible. When we all said we'd rather have another swimming session and spend 15 minutes less in Hvar it was no issue. Really recommended!!

It was great, very nice and experienced skipper, the tour was great and we made friends with the group, its great that the group is small. We were only 7 on the boat.

Best decision you can make if you want to visit the surrounding islands/caves/lagoons around Split. What makes this trip amazing is that it’s a small vessel (we were 8 people) and there is no set schedule. Our captain was Marin and he was AMAZING. He made everyone feel very welcome and could handle the boat perfectly even with the rough seas we had. The good thing of this company is that by not having a set schedule they can adapt at the moment depending on the seas. We were suppose to go to the Blue Cave and Green Cave but bc the seas were very rough they didn’t open them so instead of waiting around our captain decided to go to Blue Lagoon and we were able to have the whole area to ourselves, we were then able to go to another beach and then this little island that had some cliff diving. This trip also gives you more than enough opportunity to swim in the clear waters or if you prefer to tan you can do that on board as well. Overall, you can’t go wrong with this company and especially captain Marin.

We had a great time yesterday and we recommend this unforgettable tour . The skipper Marin is professional and at the same time flexible and he makes the day easygoing and happy . The boat was very cleaned and looks brand new. It is a hors bord High speed boat , so it might be impressive and kind of choppy but it is worth it .

I rarely write bad reviews but this is my first one and hopefully the last one. We are a family of four, joined the "Blue Cave tour with luxury boat" this morning and I'd say this is definitely the worst decision I've made. We were told by a staff after we've paid and boarded the boat, " we've got a notice for you guys, the blue cave is currently closed due to bad weather so we might not be able to go in but we'll see if it's possible to get in at a later time". Apparently the touring agencies get calls from the staff who works for the Blue Cave every day early in the morning, so they intentionally hide it from us and only tell us about this after they took our money ( the tour costs 125 euros per head and we are a family of four). I have a friend who joined a tour with another touring company last week and the same happened ( the cave was closed due to bad weather), but their touring agency was upfront and told them beforehand, and even agreed to refund in full as they understood most of the tourists come all the way for / join private tours just because of the blue cave. So after being told that we might not be able to go in, the staff from "hello blue cave" told us they will wait around the blue cave and see if it's possible to get in in the afternoon. They ended up dropped us off on Pakleni island for an hour ( free time) and when we boarded again, the so called "captain" told us he just called and it's definitely not possible to go into the blue cave today. It's all lies as I approached a taxi boat company on the Pakleni island during our free time, and asked if it's possible to go in today (as they also sell tickets for the blue cave), the person in charge told us they received call early in the morning, it's for sure not possible to get in for the entire day and so he suggested an alternative " green cave". I explained to the staff from "hello blue cave" that we all came for the blue cave and most of us joined the tour because of it. She( a blonde lady) was really rude and argued that the main point of this tour is not about blue cave.... This is really ironic as the company is named as "hello blue cave" and you advertise your tours online highlighting and making the visit to the blue cave a focus. On the way back from Hvar to Split, the staff were so unprofessional and rude, when most of the customers were trying to get some rest on the boat that they turned on loud music they like and they were just singing along loudly and enjoying themselves without even showing some respect to the exhausted customers. I understand that it's beyond their control as to the bad weather and I am not putting the blame on them ( it's Mother Nature). The fact that they intentionally hid it (the fact that you won't be able to visit the blue cave) from us so to induce us to continue with the tour made us sick!! As tourists, we travelled all the way and paid such huge sum of money hoping for some great experiences. But in return, we got nothing from what we've expected. To be frank, it's not about the money paid/ spent, in stead it's about the way how they treated us ( no respect at all). They are a SKETCHY and UNPROFESSIONAL company who only care about your money.I you don't want to be let down and wish to have a better experience, I would suggest to look elsewhere even if you have to pay a higher price.

Journey was as enjoyable as the destinations! Our skipper Martin was hilarious and helpful, got us through some bad weather without struggle as well. A really nice break from Split and a chance to see the surrounding islands and Caves. By far I most enjoyed swimming /snorkeling in the blue lagoon; waters were amazing, clear and full of fish to watch. Would definitely suggest this day trip to anyone interested. For people who aren't as great in boats though I'd suggest you request the bigger boat for a more comfortable ride though!!

What a wonderful day and adventure. Marin was our skipper and we set off on the tour with possibility of thunderstorm in the afternoon. Not only Marin gave us the best time of our life with many beautiful visits, he calmly navigate the storm while having a hell of a good time with us. Thank you Marin!!!

Captain Marin was very nice and spoke excellent English. The destinations were amazing! We covered a lot of sights in one day. I liked that Marin was flexible in his itinerary to support the timing and interests of the tour group.

It's a beautiful cave and lives up to its title, I am only giving 3 stars because it is a super busy attraction and you only get to spend 5 minutes inside the cave itself. If you decide to visit, be advised that you may have to wait up to 3 hours during peak season... I enjoyed my visit though and would advise bringing a really good camera that will capture the images inside the cave... As it is very dark inside

Hemos pasado el día con JURE y LUCIJA, una excursión 100% recomendable, tanto por el itinerario, la embarcación y los guías, los últimos lo mejor, súper majos. Si estáis por Split, en el paseo marítimo, os encantará 🛥🛥🛥🛥

Viaje para recordar, la cueva azul impresiona, la verde es reluciente, bañarte en aguas cristalinas haciendo snorkel es único, y visitar Hvar muy bonito. Si a esto le unes tener un gran capitán como Marin durante el día, ya es perfecto, un tío muy atento, dialogante y que forma parte del pequeño grupo como uno más, grande Marin!

Abbiamo prenotato la nostra escursione in barca presso una delle varie postazioni davanti al Palazzo di Diocleziano, sulla Riva, e abbiamo concordato con la compagnia (Nautic Center) un prezzo complessivo di 110€/persona, comprensivi di tour, acqua, vino e pranzo. Abbiamo pagato 20€ di anticipo e, la mattina seguente, come da programmi, alle 7.45 abbiamo incontrato Marin (lo skipper) nello stesso luogo della prenotazione. Ci imbarchiamo nella sua piccola, ma molto graziosa barca (una delle così dette "Speed Boats") con altri 4 passeggeri (noi eravamo 4) e partiamo alla volta della Blue Cave. Subito ci rendiamo conto della discrepanza tra l'offerta della compagnia e il piano della giornata esplicatoci da Marin, dove ci accorgiamo che non ci sarà fornito né vino né cibo. Ciò non ci ha condotto alla fame, poiché Marin ci ha portato in un bellissimo ristorante situato a Milna, sull'isola di Hvar, dove sia il cibo che la vista sul mare ci hanno rinfrancato della promessa non mantenuta, con prezzi non troppo alti. Il tour è stato molto bello e divertente, ma anch'esso differente dalla proposta iniziale fattacci sul molo, in quanto non abbiamo visitato le Isole Pakleni per motivi di tempo dovuti alla coda per entrare nella blue cave. Consigliamo a chiunque voglia intraprendere questo tour di informarsi molto bene presso gli stand sul porto sulle modalità, spesso leggermente differenti da compagnia a compagnia (ne abbiamo sentite molte!). Marin è un'ottimo skipper, parla molto bene l'inglese ed è estremamente simpatico, oltre che preparato su tutto ciò che c'è da sapere sulle Isole. Ci ha anche fatto provare a guidare la barca, davvero super! Il tour è stato comunque assolutamente all'altezza dei soldi spesi. Tutto sommato, consigliato.
