“The boat crew was great, but the waves were evidently rough enough that they moved our location for pick up and I asked specifically will the rest of the Cruz be OK and they said yes, and then they didn’t take us to the blue caves which was why I booked the trip in the first place. The boat crew said the email was supposed to tell us the email people said the boat crew was supposed to tell us But either way we didn’t get to go where we actually paid to go.”

“The boat was lovely. It felt a little bit disorganised picking up and dropping off staff and guests in Brac before and after the trip - extending the day by 2 hours which wasn’t ideal! Advertised as 9 hours was actually 11 The timings were a little off all day - too little time swimming at the lagoon and too much time in the port stops especially the first ones and at Hvar Lack of info on places we visited and the promised fun atmosphere was lacking! Although info at vis was good”

Captains such as Peter, Pavle, Boris, and Marc tailor the route when weather and timing allow.
“It was an amazing experience, our captain proactively led the boat early to the caves which made possible for us to dive into the water and swim in the blue water inside the caves without other boats around.
