The 4 Best Hvar Speedboat Tours

1.Blue Cave & Vis Island speedboat tour from Hvar

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 890 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $120Our pick

Set out from Hvar at 10:15 a.m. on a speedboat for Budikovac, the Green Cave, Blue Cave, Stiniva Cove, and a seaside lunch stop. The crew may include Antonia, Ivan, Antonio, or Dario. Expect fast boat rides, swim breaks, optional cave tickets, and weather-based changes.

“A fun speedboat tour out to the blue cave, and a stop to swim from the boat to a small alcove beach for 30 mins. The swim is not easy, but there is a tow line you can use to pull yourself to shore. There were actually no snorkles provided as advertised so bring your own. The green cave was not encouraged by our guides, so we collectively passed on it. After the blue cave, it just looked ok- we were ready to get moving again.”

“You may think having the Blue Cave closed meant this was going to be a bad review, but NO. This was the highlight of our trip in Croatia. We booked the outing and quickly learned the Blue Cave was closed for the day. However our Captain Peter made the best of a bad situation and brought us to hidden spots and amazing locations for swimming and exploring. We had an amazing time seeing different islands and eating local food. We saw dolphins that we started to follow, and still was able to gain access to the Green Cave - which is spectacular in itself. 100% would recommend and would be…”

The restaurant that we stopped to eat was outstanding. Not to mention, the location is BEAUTIFUL!!! Antonio tailored the experience to what we wanted, which made it the best overall for us.”

“Fabulous!!!! The boat was clean and super comfortable, stocked with waters sudas and fresh fruit. Our captain and skipper, Dario and Antonio were wonderful —relaxed capable fun and helpful! They played us Croatian music and shared about their lives on Hvar. They took us to great swimming spots, the red cliffs and a quaint wine tasting place with great appetizers and an underwater wine cave, then a fabulous seaside lunch before a final swimming stop. We stayed all around Hvar and that was plenty for us. They even did a pick up and drop off in Stari Grad for an extra 100 euros, which we appreciated. Great day!!! Thank you!”
