We went as a family with a young child (10) and we all had a great time! The blue caves were eye opening and the different islands were just beautiful. We went in October which is the perfect time to go! Still great weather but less tourism so not as crowded. Our little boy absolutely loved the travel on the speedboat but be prepared to get wet as it gets a little rough out there!

It was a great tour and I was able to see a lot that I wouldn't have been able to had I not taken the tour. The only negative was the place they suggested for lunch was very expensive and I was not expecting that. I just ordered the cheapest thing I could even though I knew I would still be hungry.

We had a great time on this tour and it was definitely one of the highlights of our time in Split! It was a very very bumpy ride but the crew gave us tips on where to sit to make it more comfortable. We all get very wet so definitely bring a change of clothes!

The guides were excellent and took us to fun places with less crowds. Be prepared for a cold ride back given the later time and it’s a speedboat, and bring snacks as lunch isn’t until 3.

I went with a group of friends and would definitely recommend. You need cash for the boat to the blue cave and there isn't any an ATM on the island so be prepared for this.
