★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9,360 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $84Our pick

Review of Dubrovnik’s Blue Cave boat tour, with swimming, Sunj Beach, Koločep caves, drinks, pricing, pickup tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Our guide for the morning trip was James and he did a wonderful job. I was a solo traveler and then there were two other groups on the boat. James did a great job making sure we were all comfortable and knew the plan. He was really great at driving the boat smoothly on a choppier day. We had some trouble getting off from the beach because of the big waves and again, he did well managing the situation and was very patient and had a great attitude. I really enjoyed this trip and a half a day with the perfect amount of time, especially going solo.”

I highly recommend this boat company and Fabrizio for your boat day.”

Review of Trogir’s 5-island speedboat tour to the Blue Cave, Komiža, Hvar, Stiniva, and Budikovac, with honest tips on cost and comfort.

“Wow! What an amazing day. I was a solo person on a full speedboat trip with Lucy as our guide and 'Z' as our skipper. The places we visited were stunning, especially Vis and Hvar. Personally a bit disappointed with the Blue Lagoon but that's due to me not wanting to snorkel and the beach bar not being open - I think because it's not high season yet. And that was a minor issue which definitely did not detract from the whole trip. The most exciting part for me was the speedboat ride itself. 'Z' was an accomplished skipper who knew how to give his passengers a fun time. A…”

Staff kept us informed the whole time and it just gave us more time to enjoy the amazing views and crystal clear waters”

“Really good boat trip. Skipper was very friendly and helpful. Was a bit of a windy day, so water was very choppy, so you certainly felt the boat hit the water. We thought boat might slow a bit? Caves interesting, but water so cold. Kids didn't last long. All in all, a good day out.”
