Planning

Historical Context

The islands surrounding Split have been inhabited since Illyrian and Greek times, with many towns like Trogir and Hvar showcasing architecture from the Venetian Republic era.

Photography Tips

  • • Use a waterproof case for your phone
  • • A polarizing filter is essential for cutting glare on the water
  • • In the Blue Cave, turn off your flash and use a high ISO for the best glow effect.

Insider Tips

  • • The Blue Cave is brightest between 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM
  • • Bring cash for the Blue Cave entrance fee as many ticket booths do not accept cards
  • • Sit on the left side of the boat when leaving Split for the best coastal views.

Our Partners

  • • We partner with Viator and TripAdvisor to bring you the widest selection of verified boat excursions in Croatia.

Fun Facts

  • • The Blue Cave can only be entered during a small window of time when the sunlight is at the perfect angle
  • • The Blue Lagoon in Croatia is actually located between three small islands: Drvenik Veliki, Krknjaš Mali, and Krknjaš Veli.

Cancellation Policy

Great Day, Long Journey

Hvar and the Pakleni islands were stunning. Be prepared for a long day on the water, but the swimming stops make it worth every minute.

Private Boat Perfection

We booked a private charter for my birthday. The skipper knew all the hidden bays where no other tourists were. Best way to see Split!

Blue Lagoon was Paradise

The half-day trip to the Blue Lagoon was perfect for our family. The water is shallow and very safe for swimming. Highly recommend.

Excellent Value

The 5-island tour covers so much ground. It's a fast-paced day but you see the best of Croatia in one go. Very well organized.

Stiniva Cove is a Must-See

The speedboat ride was thrilling and the stop at Stiniva Cove was like something out of a movie. Don't forget your GoPro!

Beautiful Islands

Everything was great, just remember to bring a windbreaker for the boat ride back in the evening as it can get chilly.
