Overall good experience. Very good boat and crew. The blue cave experience is overrated and the time to travel for this is not worth it in my opinion. The rest of the day was great, beautiful little beaches, great restaurant in Hvar with amazing view and lovely swim and snorkelling experiences.
Loved the variety of stops and the swimming opportunities. The small group (11 of us) was the perfect size. Communication with the tour guide prior to the trip was good. Would highly recommend this great day out
Booking through Headout was easy and confirmation and digital tickets received almost immediately. The packs a lot into one day. Unforunatel due to weather conditions we were unable to visit the Blue Caves however another small island village was substituted. Also due to the weather conditions, the boat ride was rough...but again, not much the boat driver could do. We enjoyed the tour and the places we visited.
Great experience I highly recommend

Our crew were the absolute best!!
Booking of Friday, 02nd August 2024. The different stop for swimming in amazing and breathtaking places. Hvar island, and falling for Marinkovac island (incredible, just wow). We couldn't reach blue cave because of weather, we have been refunded, thanx. The blue lagon is nice but we were a little bit disappointed of dirty island, so many trashes on it. The skipper (I don't remember his name). He was so kind, gave us so many details about places, even the temperature of the sea ahh ;) and really nice to us. Gonna never forget his Croatian accent when he was speaking English ahhh! Thank for this crazy and wonderful day. Kind regards, Candice FOULEAU France 🇫🇷
We had an awsome crew with capten Anthony in carge who was safe and professional so we had a lot of fun in the day even though high waves and rough sea so the Blue Cave closed. But it was false marketing with "drinks included such as water, juice and beer - self service". We got 1 small battle of water... That was bad!
Wonderful boat trip I have ever had in my life. Beautiful locations to swim at. Great value for money Recommendation to this tour agency!
Great experience all the time , unfortunately our initial boat got issue but we were re located with amazing people also Thanks Just to be focus on the meeting points at the beginning The our one was wrong Thanks Jennifer
Great and fun trip! Blue cave was an amazing experience. We only visited 3 islands, not 5. I believe that the package mentions snorkeling but there was no snorkeling involved.
Highly recommend! I went with a friend and we really enjoyed it :) The landscape are beautiful.
Great and must have trip when you are in Split, amazing experience and very good tour with helpful guide

Everything was fine. Only the email from Headout stated a starting location, which was not correct. And it was also written that you had to be there by 7.00am. It was not clear to me that the departure point had been changed and that the time for the meeting point had also been changed to 7.15 am. This made the start very hectic for me! Best regards

Very nice activity, a must-do. The guides are really nice. The illuminated canoe is great, you can see right through it. Paddling on the sea was great.

To reach the Blue Cave, you'll need to take a boat tour from islands like Vis, Hvar, or Split. The tours typically include other stops like the Green Cave or Stiniva Bay, making the trip an exciting island-hopping experience.
Swimming is not allowed inside the Blue Cave to preserve its delicate environment. However, most tours offer other swimming spots nearby, like the Green Cave or secluded bays on nearby islands.
Most tours offer 15-20 minutes inside the Blue Cave itself, which is enough to admire its stunning blue light effects. However, the overall experience can take several hours if you consider boat transfers and other nearby attractions. A half-day tour is typically ideal, especially if you want to enjoy other nearby spots like Stiniva Cove.
The Blue Cave is located on a small island, so facilities are limited. There are no restrooms or dining options at the cave itself. However, on the nearby island of Vis, you’ll find restaurants, cafes, and restrooms. Be sure to carry essentials like water and snacks, especially if you’re taking a longer tour.
The Blue Cave is famous for the mesmerizing blue light that fills the cave when sunlight reflects off the white seabed. This natural phenomenon creates an otherworldly glow that visitors come from all over the world to witness. The best time to see this effect is around midday when the light is at its strongest.
The best time to visit is between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM when the sunlight creates the brightest blue reflection in the cave. Visiting early in the day can also help avoid larger crowds.
Comfortable, light clothing and swimwear are recommended, as many tours also stop at beaches. Don’t forget sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat, as you’ll be on the water for several hours. A light jacket might be useful as it can get chilly on the boat.
Unfortunately, the Blue Cave is not very accessible to those with mobility issues. The boats used are typically small, and the entrance to the cave is low, requiring passengers to duck down as they enter.
Many tours combine the Blue Cave visit with other stunning locations such as the Green Cave, Stiniva Cove, and Komiza town on Vis island. These stops offer swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing beach time.
During the summer months, especially July and August, it's best to book at least a week in advance to ensure availability. Tours can sell out quickly during this time.
