Blue cave, Mamma Mia and Hvar, 5 islands speedboat tour

1.Blue cave, Mamma Mia and Hvar, 5 islands speedboat tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7,150 reviews · 10 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $111Our pick

Spend 10 to 12 hours racing from Split across the Adriatic to Biševo, Vis, Stiniva, Budikovac, the Pakleni Islands, and Hvar. You’ll visit the Blue Cave, swim and snorkel, pass the Mamma Mia beach, and explore Hvar with a small group of up to 12 people. The open speedboat ride is thrilling, wet, and bumpy.

“Tour was good despite fact that we didn’t get to see the blue cave or the mama Mia beach due to high and choppy waves. There isn’t much guiding- just a few sentences when they drop you off at each of the islands where you have ample free time to explore.”

She is giving the information about the activity and travel time to time. They served snack after few minutes of the boat undocked. They served unlimited water and juice. The juice is not from fruit but mixed from the juice powder. It could have been real fruit juice. They have got the chance to dock the boat near the shipwreck in Necujam, a small place in Solta island. Everyone enjoyed, even non swimmers with noodle and donut shaped tube as well as with paddles After shipwreck…”

Visit old Trogir, swim at the Blue Lagoon, explore Maslinica on Šolta, and snorkel near the Kontesa shipwreck. Expect a small-group ride, fast crossings, free time at each stop, and rocky beaches.

“Easy check-in upon arrival, friendly staff and crew on board. The speedboat was so fun, especially when they went fast and we all got splashed! Worth pointing out that you have to straddle your seat so might not be suitable for some people, but we were fine. Solta was beautiful, charming and quiet; the stop there was the perfect length and we had a fantastic coffee in the harbour. The Blue Lagoon was disappointing (not the tour’s fault at all, we went in the low season!). Trogir was stunning, and we wandered for ages after a lovely bolognese lunch. It does say that there is a stop to see the…”
