1 Day Tour Hvar Blue Lagoon/Cave plus...

We are going to be in the Split for a couple of days at the end of another tour. For one day I would like to do a cruise 8-10 hrs from the Split to at least include some time in Hvar and a visit to the Blue Lagoon and Cave. Anything else is a bonus. Obviously this is the place for watersports but neither of us swim etc. Tours I have looked at include time for snorkling/swimming which is fine but I cannot seem to get any further information from companies, if you are actually ashore during this hour or more and have somewhere to wander around. One tour was a 5 island speedboat tour (with good and bad reviews) who I have tried to contact with no reply. It also sounds like they change the itinerary at whim including time in Hvar to wander. There are so many companies and I don't know whether to book ahead or book there and run the risk of them being full. We are going very end of June. Not interested in private tour, small group is fine. we are in our 60's but reasonably fit. Any info is welcomed.

Weather is always a factor, if it is super windy then plans need to be adjusted. The boat guys will adjust the itinerary depending on where the wind is coming from. This sort of thing.

The season has not really started yet which is maybe why you have not received any email. If the company has a WhatsApp contact number you might try that way, it is way more common to communicate by WhatsApp than email these days..

Check out Sunburst Sailing. Not a speedboat - a sailboat. I’m not sure if they can include time in Hvar, but I was on the boat in Hvar once, so you can ask them.

Or if you are going in season, go to Hvar on the catamaran and talk to one of the many companies offering boat tours and go from there. They all have stands with salespeople, walk along the sea when you get off the catamaran and you will find them.

Thank you Rialtogrl, I will check out your link. We are going to be there end Jun/early July so I'm sure it will be starting to get busy then.
