🇭🇷 Split Island Hopping Guide 🛥️🏝️

1. Booking Book your tour one day in advance at the stalls along Riva Promenade. The grandpa at Stall 14 is highly recommended—his boats are well-maintained with shade + toilet and offer free water & beer 🍻. 💡 Pro tip: Pay a deposit first (cash preferred), and settle the balance on departure day. Cash payments are faster—card transactions may cause delays! 💰 Price: €115 (5-island tour) + €12 Blue Cave entrance fee. 2. Blue Cave 💙 The grandpa assured us that summer weather usually allows Blue Cave visits! Our tour started with the cave, so bring snacks/breakfast—you’ll get hungry before the second island! 🥐 3. Hvar Island 🌞 Our last stop was Hvar. We asked the crew for restaurant recommendations but ended up at MARIGO Grill & Chill—avoid it! Their pasta and pizza were mediocre 😑. 🛍️ Instead, check out the souvenir stalls at Trg Sv. Stjepana for cute fridge magnets 🧲 and lavender products from a local grandpa. His lavender sachets (perfect for closets!) and lavender-themed magnets are lovely! 4. Must-Bring Items Sunscreen! ☀️ Reapply after swimming/sweating—the sun is intense! Hope this helps! Enjoy your adventure! 😊 Swimwear 🩱, towels, water shoes (for rocky beaches), and cash 💶. #Split #Croatia #IslandHopping #BlueCave #Hvar #TravelTips 🌊
