We booked our trip through Airbnb, which seemed really easy and a smart idea because of the price. The weather the day of the trip was not good (raining and... read more thundering), so at the meeting point we were told to wait because they had to figure out if it was safe. Totally fine.
After waiting a little bit Antonia cancelled our trip through air bnb. However the trip was still happening. We therefore had to pay them again which was fair. Antonia’s sister was in charge this day and told us to pay 1200 kuna for 2 people but we had only paid 993 kuna on Airbnb. We were not interested in paying more, because them cancelling our trip, which was still happening, was not our problem. We, of course, had a friendly and resolution resolving attitude because we still wanted to go on the trip and this was really a minor inconvenience. Antonia’s sister then called a boss to ask what she should do about our price point, which was lower than what she was charging. We waited patiently as she spoke with her boss. My friend speaks Croatian which the sister didn’t know because we kept all of our correspondence on English. On the phone Antonia’s sister at one point said: “oh they are being so annoying, I’m gonna dump them in the ocean!”, to which my friend responded “you are gonna do WHAT!???” in Croatian. The chok on her face was priceless and she responded “oh so you understand our language “ after that there were some tension in the air because antonias sister, of course, completely embarrassed herself in front of two “annoying tourists”. We got our price point and got on our boat trip.
Luckily we had two sweet guides on the tour with us! They deserve 5 stars for the tour they gave us - they were so nice and helpful. Antonia’s sister deserves 0 stars for her rude and threatening comments. She didn’t really have a reason for her attitude and it kind of threw us off.
All in all we will give the trip 1 star ONLY because of Antonia’s sisters threatening behavior. Truly a shame, because we had such a nice trip with the guides.

  We did a speedboat day trip with Kabina boats from Hvar.

We pre-booked our trip but there were people buying trips on the day. In the high season... read more (June - Aug) I recommend pre-booking your trip. On the day of your trip you need to checkin at the office which is located in the main square right next to the Argentinian restaurant called Don Armando Hvar - Argentinian Street Food. We were then split into two groups, we had no more than 12 to our boat.

Our tour guid and skipped both spoke English and the tour was all in English. I’m sure they offer other languages if English is not your preferred language.

I highly recommend the trip, with lots of opportunity to swim in the beautiful Crystal blue water! Snorkelling goggles were provided but not snorkels (bring your own if you want to snorkel). Each swimming stop is about 30 - 45 min which is more than enough time to enjoy the water.

Completely drinks are offered, including beer. I recommend you bring a snack/lunch as the first opportunity to stop for lunch is at about 4ish.

As part of the trip you get the option to explore both the Green and Blue caves, both of which are an addition charge. At the time of writing the Green cave was 50 Kuna and blue cave 70 Kuna. If you are travelling in 2023 you might have to pay in Euro as Croatia are move to the Euro in 2023.

We didn’t do the Green cave but did the Blue Cave which was amazing and highly recommended. You have to transfer to a separate boat with a local guide.

You can expect to be back in Hvar for around 5:45 - 6:00 pm, so a full day out.

  We had a great time and really enjoyed the tour. Both guides on the boat were very friendly and fun! The lunch stop is a bit late and long and... read more the restaurants are quite expensive, so maybe it's better to bring your own lunch. But other than that the tour was perfect

  This was one of the best tours I've ever been on, the tour guides are soo friendly. The price is definitely worth it! Hope to see you again

  Amazing tour you can't pass up. Tour guides Peter and Dario were wonderful! They were honest tour guides so Dario recommended we skip the green cave in favor of seeing... read more some better sites and he was so right! They brought us to some amazing coves with beautiful beaches and we were the only ones there! They took the time to bring us into some other caves to see the colors of the water instead of paying for the green cave (which is man made and not that impressive). The Blue Cave was amazing and so worth it. The only note - the blue lagoon (the stop where you have to swim pretty far to get to the beach) is filled with trash and plastic, would definitely skip or opt to stay in the boat for that stop. Bring some warm clothes, as it gets cold while the boat is moving.

  I highly recommend! We had a wonderful time in a private sailing boat that took us to great places on the islands. Very kind people.

  Great experience, we spent the great time on the boat with the best crew. The boat crew were very friendly, communicative and helpful. I really recommend!

  It was more than a great day. First the organization was excellent. The speedboat is very comfortable and...fast. The captain explained a lot about the surroundings. We saw so many... read more beautiful places. We skipped the green cave as there are many other places with no entry fee and as pretty as green cave. The blue cave was amazing, such a bright blue color, just by nature. We went on a different boat to get in there. The pictures on the brochure speak trued. It was relaxing. We had good weather. We snorkeled, and saw many beaches. Just perfect/

  First of all the trip was made special by our skipper and hostess on the boat. Dario and Marina. They were very friendly. We never felt rushed during the... read more 8 hour trip touring different swimming spots and finally the blue cave. They timed their docking at each of the destination so it’s not crowded. First we think the boat left on the later side in the morning around 10:45 which missed the morning rush. Then gave us advice of what is worthwhile doing and what is not. A great team all around.

  Amazing and fun experience! The crew were very friendly and knowledgable about the waters. We spent about 30 mins at each island which was the perfect amount of time to... read more swim and relax or jump off the cliff if you are feeling daring. They offered free beer and water which was nice. Once we got to the area of the Blue Cave, you do have to pay a fee of 70 kuna per person and another small boat will take you to the cave. The gentleman there was also very informative about the cave. At the last stop we spent 2 hours on the island giving us enough time to enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants and if you have time you can relax by the beach. Overall, it was a great time and you will be amazed by the beautiful clear waters.

  Highly recommended! 😃 - Awesome day out on the water! All the better for the great crew Antonia, Darian, and Andreas, who were all great fun and very knowledgeable about Hvar and Vis.

  Magnificent boat tour from Hvar - My wife, my 2 teenage daughters and I went on this tour guided by Jacob and Tony. The company organized every detail flawlessly. It was very easy to make the... read more reservation from abroad and buy the tickets. Everything went not only according to promised but beyond expectations. The boat was great, good drinks and the music was fantastic. The places we visited were magnificent. Jacob and Tony exceeded our expectations in terms of character, responsibility and fun. The whole ambiance they created on the boat for us made everyone enjoy this trip to the max. I would definitively do it again and without hesitation I would recommend people coming to Hvar to get on that boat with the same company. Way to go! You guys made our trip.

  Amazing trip and lovely hosts who did all they could to make the day as fun as possible.would definitely recommend this trip.

  Arrrrgh m'hearties! Thank you to Stepe and Antonio for an amazing day! They were v friendly, v flexible and honestly couldn't have asked for anything more! 100% recommend!

  This is a brilliant trip, cant recommend enough. The tour guides were wonderful. They were so kind and took us to the most beautiful caves. Was excellent value for money.

  Our day with Antonia and Dario was the best of our wonderful holiday in Croatia. They were incredibly accommodating and went out of their way to ensure that we hit... read more the best locations at the optimal times in order to avoid the crowds that such places can attract. They are both very personable and easy going, combining this with expert knowledge of the coastline to create an unforgettable experience.

  We really enjoyed this trip as we got to see so much outside of Hvar Town. Our captain made some beautiful unexpected stops and the Blue cave was so cool.... read more We subtract a star because the last stop at one of the Pakleni islands seemed like a major tourist trap. Crummy food options and more swimming in a crowded beach. We had visited by water taxi a different island the day before and enjoyed it far more… I think it was just this location on the islands. We wish we had stopped at a different spot where you could walk and explore for the 2 hours, rather than another swimming spot that didn’t match the experience provided in the rest of the trip.
