Great day trip
What a fun day trip! Nicolette and Tomas were great hosts and gave us a great sampling of the islands near Split. Highly recommend
via Viator
Anthony and Bruno were...
Anthony and Bruno were excellent. The Blue Cave is magical and definitely worth it! The trip itself could have been an hour shorter. Due to the cold water people just dipped in but we stayed for over 30 minutes. No drinks onboard, it would have been nice to know ahead of time that we could have brought a cooler with us.

Great tour

Swim and Relax
It was an amazing day! We had some initial “issues” that were no fault of the tour company. The crew was so accommodating in allowing us to switch boats with another that had room and it definitely saved the day. There were several boats ahead of us at the Blue Cave so we made a bonus stop at the town of Vis (filming location of the second Mama Mia). Then it was off to the Blue Cave, swimming in the Blue Lagoon (such clear water) and then reservations at a restaurant in Hvar that our guide arranged. We also had a bonus swimming stop in a nice cove before heading back to Split. Everything was very well organized, but yet flexible enough when necessary. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a fun day of both swimming and relaxation.

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Blue Cave Full-Day Boat Tour with Hvar and 5 Islands: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.
How much does Blue Cave Full-Day Boat Tour with Hvar and 5 Islands cost?
+
Prices start at $148 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 Full-Day Boat Tour with Hvar and 5 Islands take?
+
Plan for about 10.5 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 Full-Day Boat Tour with Hvar and 5 Islands worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 60 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 Full-Day Boat Tour with Hvar and 5 Islands?
+
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 Full-Day Boat Tour with Hvar and 5 Islands suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Blue Cave Full-Day Boat Tour with Hvar and 5 Islands?
+
Around 21 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 10.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Blue Cave Full-Day Boat Tour with Hvar and 5 Islands 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 Walking Tour with Professor of History, Split Small-Group Walking Tour with a Magister 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.
