Blue Cave, Hvar and five islands from Split: which of the four speedboat days?
Updated October 10, 2026 · 5 min read
Two of these days cost €79 and score higher than the pricier ones, so start there. The five-island tour with Blue Cave, Mamma Mia, Vis and Hvar has a perfect 5 from 3,285 reviews, and the Blue Cave, Hvar and Mamma Mia boat tour has 4.9 from 1,739 and seats in the shade. The best-known option, with 8,227 reviews, costs €21.05 more.
Four tours, same islands, different groups
| Tour | Hours | From | Rating | What stands out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small group: Blue Cave, Mamma Mia, Hvar and 5 islands | 10–11 | €100.05 | 4.6 (8,227) | Departs from Split or Trogir, Blue Lagoon snorkel |
| Blue Cave, Mamma Mia, Vis and Hvar | 10.5 | €79 | 5 (3,285) | Hvar, Biševo, Vis, Budikovac, Pakleni |
| Blue Cave, Hvar, Mamma Mia boat tour | 10.5 | €79 | 4.9 (1,739) | Luxury seats in shade, secret beaches |
| Speedboat tour, small group of 12 | 10–11 | €108.75 | 4.7 (502) | Maximum 12 guests, more swim time |
What the two €79 trips actually give you
The 10.5-hour tour at €79 names its five islands precisely: Hvar, Biševo, Vis, Budikovac and Pakleni, and it includes the Blue Cave. That list is useful because a “5-island” title can hide very different routes. Its twin at the same price drops a different detail into the description: luxury seats in the shade, which counts on a boat you will sit in for more than ten hours.

Why the most-reviewed one costs more
The small-group tour is the best-known day by a wide margin, and its description adds the Blue Lagoon snorkel and the town of Hvar. It is guided and departs from Split or Trogir. Its 4.6 rating is the lowest among these four, so you are buying a reputation and a convenience, not a better score. The extra €21.05 is hard to justify unless the Trogir departure is what you need.

When the 12-guest limit pays off
The fourth tour caps the group at 12 guests and promises more time to swim and reach hidden bays. At €108.75 it is €29.75 above the cheapest day, so the question is whether a quiet boat is worth that. It pays off only if a quiet boat is the point; otherwise either €79 trip is enough.

Who should not book a five-island day
Ten and a half hours on a fast boat is a long exposure to sun and spray. If swell makes you ill or your children are small, a shorter trip such as the island tours from Split with Hvar alone is easier.
Our recommendation
Book the five-island tour with Blue Cave, Mamma Mia, Vis and Hvar. It shares the lowest price here with one other tour and has the highest rating, and the other three only make sense for a specific reason.
