“Barisa was a wonderful tour guide - full of insightful history and anecdotes about the National Park and waterfalls. He made our trip to Plitvače seamless and memorable.

I also want to share that Dado was a fabulous driver. He handled the bus with care during the high winds that we experienced and safely got us to and from Split with ease. I felt safe and well cared for all day thanks to Barisa and Dado. I highly recommend Šugaman Tours for…”

Blue Cave and Hvar 5 Islands full-day Speedboat Tour from Split

12.Blue Cave and Hvar 5 Islands full-day Speedboat Tour from Split

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 599 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $151

Cross the Adriatic by speedboat from Split to Biševo’s glowing Blue Cave, then visit island stops such as Komiža, Stiniva Cove, Budikovac and Hvar. Expect a full day, time for swimming and a separate cash fee for the cave. Weather can alter the route, and the fast, open-sided ride is not for everyone.

“Guides were great, knowledgeable and nice. It was windy so the water was choppy but made it fun. Definitely not good for someone who gets sea sick. The blue cave closed because of weather :( only reason for 1 star less but that’s out of the control of the company. They refunded us the price of the ticket thankfully.”

If your looking to see the blue caves choose this activity & if you get Marino & Valentina you will have the best time. The blue caves were amazing, swim in the blue lagoon was refreshing just not a fan of the rocks so if you have swim shoes be sure to take them. Hvar town was also fabulous along with Komiža town & Stiniva Bay. The amount of time spent at each place was perfect & got lots of time to enjoy Hvar town, climb up to the Fortress,…”
