★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9,360 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $84Our pick

Spend four hours on a shared boat with up to 12 people, visiting the Blue Cave, Koločep’s three sea caves, and Sunj Beach. Swim into the caves, snorkel in clear water, and enjoy one drink at each stop. Guides such as Anthony, James, Dominic, and Roko are often praised for safety and good humor.

“Great experience with a a few stops for swimming and exploring the caves. They do have snorkel goggles, but I can’t remember if they actually had the breathing tubes or not. I always bring my own. But they did have goggles if you needed them. And it’s definitely worth it. Safe drivers on the water and very informative. It was an excellent tour.”
