Best Experience in Split - We booked the private 5 island boat tour for a family of 4 (with young children ages 5 and 2). This was our highlight of our trip to the Split area. Marija assisted with all questions we had and helped us secure the trip that was right for us. We elected for the Jeanneau Prestige 34, as it had a closed cabin and extra space for the kids.
We met Nicola and Tony at the Old Pier, and after getting on the boat, went over our itinerary and ideas for the day. We first stopped in Trogir, then headed to the Blue Cave and Green Cave, and then stopped at the Blue Lagoon and Pakleni islands for swimming. I cannot speak more highly of Nicola as our skipper, as we was knowledgeable, friendly, and amazing with the kids. We will never forget this experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone wishing to visit the sights around Split (even if you have young children).

Must See Places - Our trip was incredible. Visiting the Blue Cave, Komiza and Hvar was such a great experience. The tour guide Reinaldo and his assistant Steven were excellent. They were always attentive to our needs. Very professional and cordial. They are an asset to the company. They made our trip so enjoyable. This is a must take tour. I highly recommend to do this tour.

Amazing day trip - This was an amazing day trip. We did 5 islands in roughly 10hrs including the blue cave. We were picked up from our hotel and dropped off at the same location. Our captain and assistance were very nice and professional. We also did some swimming on a few of the islands. One of my favorite day trips period. Highly recommended!

Outstanding Day Trip - We were picked up at our hotel at 810 am. What a day! We were on a boat until about 7 pm. Kikki was out captain. He was fantastic and gave us a memorable day. First we stopped at a little fishing village in Brac. We spent some time there. Then we went to the Blue Cave-a tourist trap for sure in and out but beautiful. Kikki showed us other caves while we waited out turn. He dropped us at another part of the island for lunch which was fantastic. Our last stop was Hvar wich was just charming and beautiful. It was a truly fabulous day!

Very nice trip - absolutely recommended - I booked this tour together with my son (12 years), and we had such a great day.
The tour was absolutely well organized - starting with the fact that we got a special pick up organized after we asked the day before the trip where we could park our car. We got a local spot recommended which was near a bus stop and got picked up at this bus stop.
We spend a lot of time on the speed boat which was a bit bumpy now and then, but the skipper had a good eye on that and even recommended changing seats so it would be more comfortable.
Water was served on the boat - not to cold, which I prefer.
The skipper gave a lot of recommondations for what to see on the certain islands visited, warned of "tourist traps" and informed of decent prices. We felt guided very well.
The blue cave is one of the "must sees" during your trip to Split or Trogir. And we had so much fun swimming in the blue lagoon and watching fish in the crystal blue water.
What absolutely stunned me was the organization of our visit to the blue cave: The skipper new exactly when to be there to avoid the crowds, and after he bought the tickets he very well estimatet the waiting time for the small boats we need to switch to so he filled the waiting time with a short excursion to the seamonk caves so that he reduced the effective waiting time to less than 20 minutes. You could tell: This guy knows his job and he is very focused so that we got the very best out of this trip.
I can only recommend both the outstanding service of Portal tours as well as this trip.

Great trip - We had a great day on this tour. I would highly recommend it for swimmers and non-swimmers alike (my wife falling into the latter category), although obviously you will get more out of it if you can swim. The skipper did a great job on "managing" the waiting time to get into the Blue Cave (for which you switch onto a smaller boat). He correctly judged how long we would have to wait after he'd purchased the tickets and managed to squeeze in two other activities before returning, by which time we were literally next in line!
Only minor criticism was that there was little effort made by the tour guide to engage with the guests and although water was available you had to help yourself and it wasn't particularly cold. There were also no snacks, which would have been nice on such a long day.

Good☺️ - +Music was appropriate to the sailing, we enjoyed sun bathing at the back of the boat even more than the attractions themselves.
- There was a big lane for The blue cave, and the time we were waiting cancelled out the next stop, that was Stiniva Cove.

Beautiful but could be better - You will see Hvar, The blue cave, and a number of outlying islands. Each are beautiful and interesting. BUT you should be aware of a few things. There is not cover on the boat for all passengers so if you're fair skinned you may be getting 12 hours of sun on the water. The boat is labelled for 14 ppl but there were 16 passengers including crew. There was ample room but if you're "by the book" you may be concerned. They allow smoking onboard. There is no water available so bring your own. Lastly the most disappointing aspect is the crew decided to change the itinerary to put Hvar first thing. They said we were going to do breakfast there. So there really wasn't any time to explore (we were there about an hour) AND we had to buy cold sandwiches so we had something for lunch. I BELIEVE they made the change based on lines at other places but it wasn't clear. In terms of communication it was limited.
