Objects in the water appear to be silver.  NOTE: In case when cave is closed we are not held responsible. We can’t influence on that and we don’t know that before we start.

    Great time on the water

    Had a great time with Boris our captain. Told us a lot about each stop, was very accommodating. Had a new boat, snorkel gear and even towels! The stops were all amazing, never felt rushed or hurried. Highly recommend!

    Amazing Day at the Blue Cave with the Perfect Crew

    We had an amazing Blue Cave tour from Split with Philip and Matea! Both of them made the experience truly memorable. Philip was a fantastic skipper – safe, skilled, and always making sure we were comfortable on the boat. Matea was full of energy and knowledge, explaining everything clearly and adding so much fun to the journey.

    Fabulous - book with Mayer!

    We private hired a small boat with Mayer, Including a (lovely) skipper and fuel to visit some of the islands around Split and the Blue lagoon. The trip was perfect for 9am- 5/6pm - the boat was great for our family of 5 (3 children 9 7 & 4). Booking was easy and great communication on email and Whatapp. Highly recommend. Note there was only 1 life jacket and no snorkels (luckily we had our own) so it’s a good idea to bring them if needed.

    Private Blue Cave and Hvar - 5 Islands Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Blue Cave and Hvar - 5 Islands Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1361 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 Private Blue Cave and Hvar - 5 Islands Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Private Blue Cave and Hvar - 5 Islands Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 106 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 Private Blue Cave and Hvar - 5 Islands Tour?

    +

    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 Private Blue Cave and Hvar - 5 Islands Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Blue Cave and Hvar - 5 Islands Tour?

    +

    Around 37 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Blue Cave and Hvar - 5 Islands Tour 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.
