Fabulous day out around the islands
Fabulous day out on the Blue Cave and 5 Islands tour. Mimosa and Hvar are beautiful and the swim spot was stunning. With a great crew and a cool speedboat doing 28 knots and only carrying 12 passengers what more could you want. Highly recommended.

Doesn’t worth your time neither your money.
Not what I excepted… It was supposed to be a 11 hours trip through the most thrilling islands of Croatia but you are going to spend most of the day waiting. You are going to start late and gonna end soon as well; maybe 9 hours since you step on the boat. Most of the information provided was little to none on each place we visited.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that the tour is advertised as an approximately 10-hour excursion, not 11 hours. Check-in takes place between 7:15 and 7:30 AM, while departure is scheduled between 7:30 and 8:00 AM. The exact departure time depends on the season, the check-in process for all guests, and daily operational factors. During peak season, we often depart earlier within this timeframe to avoid longer queues at the Blue Cave. The return time is generally between 5:15 PM and 6:00 PM, depending on factors such as weather conditions, sea state, maritime traffic, waiting times at the Blue Cave, and congestion at the destinations visited. Therefore, the duration of the tour may vary slightly from day to day. Regarding waiting times, unfortunately the Blue Cave is one of Croatia’s most visited natural attractions, and waiting periods are sometimes unavoidable, especially during the high season. These conditions affect all operators equally and are outside of our control. We are also sorry to hear that you felt there was insufficient information provided during the tour. Our excursions are designed primarily as sightseeing and swimming experiences, with our skippers providing practical information and highlights about each destination. Nevertheless, we appreciate your feedback and will use it to further improve the experience we offer our guests. If you believe that you received incorrect information regarding the itinerary, duration, or any other aspect of the tour, we would kindly ask you to contact us directly with your booking details. Please let us know where you made the reservation and provide any information that was shared with you. We would be happy to investigate the matter, identify where the misunderstanding may have occurred, and see how we can assist you with your situation. Kind regards

Luxury Blue Cave & 5 Islands Tour from Split: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.
How much does Luxury Blue Cave & 5 Islands Tour from Split cost?
+
Prices start at $168 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 Luxury Blue Cave & 5 Islands Tour from Split take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Luxury Blue Cave & 5 Islands Tour from Split worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 151 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Split, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Luxury Blue Cave & 5 Islands 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 Luxury Blue Cave & 5 Islands Tour from Split suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luxury Blue Cave & 5 Islands Tour from Split?
+
Around 53 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxury Blue Cave & 5 Islands 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 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.

Not included: Entrance fee for the Hvar Fortress; towels; Blue Cave entrance fee (18 € per person in pre/post season time, 24 € per person in top se; and Meals.
