“We had an absolutely unforgettable experience on our Blue Cave tour in Dubrovnik! The stunning scenery, crystal-clear water, and breathtaking caves were magical, but what truly made the day special was our captain and guide, Eric.

Spend eight hours cruising from Split to Čiovo, the Blue Lagoon, and Maslinica on Šolta. Swim, snorkel, eat lunch onboard, and enjoy wine while guides such as Nana keep the day moving. Expect a large boat, open-sea views, and a route that may change with weather.

“We enjoyed this day and Nana our guide was great. The food was good and drinks were available throughout. However, we didn’t visit the sunken boat (because of the weather) - we went to a different swim place instead. And although we did visit the blue lagoon we didn’t feel like we really saw it because the boat anchored so far away ( maybe because of the size of the boat?). We enjoyed the stop at Solta.”
