Five islands, one long day, plenty of sea. This fast-moving boat trip packs Dalmatia’s best-known island sights into one outing from Split, with time for swimming, photos, and a relaxed finish in Hvar. I especially like the Blue Cave visit and the chance to swim at Budikovac’s blue lagoon. The main concern is the pace: ten hours on a boat, with short stops and possible rough water, may not suit anyone with back problems.

The tour costs $162 per person and includes the boat, crew, fuel, insurance, fresh water, and snorkeling equipment. That is fair value if you want to cover several islands without arranging ferries and taxis yourself, but the Blue Cave entrance ticket costs extra. Bring cash, your own water bottle, and a towel.
