1.Full-Day Catamaran Cruise to Hvar & Pakleni Islands with Food and free Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 670 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $119Our pick

Review of Summer Blues’ Split catamaran cruise to Hvar, Brač, Pakleni Islands, and Šolta, with swim stops, meals, drinks, and music.

“Great team. Not too much information so doesn’t feel like a guided tour. Swim stops were fun and exactly what we expected. Floating noodles and goggles were a fantastic free addition to the experience. Our boat had all very cool people to hangout with, everyone was friendly which made for an easy all-day trip. P.S- the chicken salad is just regular salad with pieces of chicken on top.”
