    Private day on the water

    Such a beautiful experience with our family of 9 on a private boat tour of the islands. They called the night before indicating our boat had mechanical issues, but they found us an even nicer replacement boat. What a wonderful day. We backed into a private cove to swim - so beautiful and quiet. Blue cave was also really pretty - we were fortunate to get there with very little crowds. Crew was very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend this tour for anyone.

    Great tour.

    Great boat, comfortable and fast. Nino and Marino, the duo of very attentive and friendly sailors. Even the musical track on board has everything to do with Croatia and the tour. I highly recommend it!!

    Strongly recommend! Ask crew to avoid the crowded places and you’ll experience some more hidden gems instead.

    Lovely, serviceminded and attentive crew. Really nice tour with food stops and lot’s of time for barhing and relaxing.

    Family Excursion

    Had a great time. Unfortunately nature closed the Blue Cave portion, but the captain was still able to make the excursion incredible. We had time to go to several coves where we we're the only ones swimming in the calm Adriatic waters. I highly recommend this tour.

    Amazing

    My partner and I recently embarked on the most enchanting adventure - the Blue Cave and Hvar - 5 Islands Speedboat Tour. From the moment we stepped on board to the final moments of the journey, it was an absolutely perfect day that we will cherish forever. Without a doubt, we give this tour a glowing 10 out of 10 rating!

    Blue Cave and Hvar private tour from Split: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.

    How much does Blue Cave and Hvar private tour from Split cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1600 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Split usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Blue Cave and Hvar private tour from Split take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Split is not rushed.

    Is Blue Cave and Hvar private tour from Split worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Split, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Blue Cave and Hvar private tour from Split?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Blue Cave and Hvar private tour from Split suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Blue Cave and Hvar private tour from Split?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Split can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Split and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Blue Cave and Hvar private tour from Split start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Split within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Split?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Split experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Split Small-Group Walking Tour with a Magister of History, Split Walking Tour with Professor of History, From Split: Krka Waterfalls, Food & Wine Tasting Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Split?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Split?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
