Loved the variety of stops and the swimming opportunities. The small group (11 of us) was the perfect size. Communication with the tour guide prior to the trip was good. Would highly recommend this great day out

Overall good experience. Very good boat and crew. The blue cave experience is overrated and the time to travel for this is not worth it in my opinion. The rest of the day was great, beautiful little beaches, great restaurant in Hvar with amazing view and lovely swim and snorkelling experiences.

Everything was fine. Only the email from Headout stated a starting location, which was not correct. And it was also written that you had to be there by 7.00am. It was not clear to me that the departure point had been changed and that the time for the meeting point had also been changed to 7.15 am. This made the start very hectic for me! Best regards

Esperienza molto bella. La guida si è dimostrata professionale, preparata e divertente, ha reso l'ingresso al parco davvero piacevole. Tutti molto puntuali e corretti, nonostante il prezzo piuttosto elevato dell'esperienza (considerando anche il costo dei biglietti del parco a 30€) la consiglierei
