We took Hvar Lavender Tour in the very beginning of July. This was a great choice for this year, because lavender was still blossoming. However, even if it isn't in bloom the tour is still worth to take. The hiking path leads through picturesque landmarks. While walking we enjoyed beautiful views and sounds of nature. Moreover, it isn't difficult to go because most of the way you get down. Additional many thanks to our guide Tibor, who not only showed us this path, but also provide us with a lot of interesting information about Hvar, its habitants, history and nature. So we had a great time in Hvar and can recommend Lavender Tour to everyone who loves exploring new natural places.

We did a wine tour to Duboković Winery in Hvar. Petar was a fantastic guide and we made a couple stops on the way to learn more about the island, which was incredibly interesting and insightful. Generally a very lovely guy too! The wines were very tasty and like nothing we have had back home in the UK. We decided to take some with us to drink for the rest of our stay - as well as look at ordering more for a delivery back home.

We went on the krka tour! Great driver and exceptional tour guide. He spoke several languages was very informative on historical facts and answered several questions for us. The tour was a great price and well worth our money. They made great suggestions for local food. We were late getting to the bus and they waited for us. You can’t find that anywhere else. The booking agency people are extremely friendly especially Filipa. She is the main reason why we chose to go with her company. This trip and service went above and beyond our expectations!

We were in the Split/Trogir region in September and decided to go out with Zagi (Skipper) for a full day. The experience was amazing he took us to a number of local destinations and he also took us to a beautiful local restaurant with some of the freshest Seafood I have ever had. Zagi was also very interactive with us and we had a good time sharing stories and laughing. He explained the local stories and history as we went by particular locations. To top this day off Zagi then took us to an area where another boat anchored to us and served us really fresh mojitos - if that's not the cheery on top of a great outing I don't know what is. If you are looking for an experience this is your only choice.

My husband and I stayed in Split for a week and in celebration of our wedding anniversary, my birthday and the pregnancy of our first child, we decided to go on a boat tour and after a lot of research on the internet we came across SeaYou which had really good reviews. As our trip was out of season and during Covid, we had trouble finding a group for the tour, however Marina from SeaYou was very helpful and kept in touch with us regarding all our options. We decided for a Private tour and although we were not planning to spend much on our trip, the tour was worth every penny. We simply had an amazing and unforgettable day and this was due to the great service we received throughout. Since getting in touch with Marina and organising the tour; the skipper’s (his name is Sinisa) concern with us and my pregnancy - he was so careful all the way to make sure the boat wasn’t too fast or too bumpy so I wouldn’t get nauseous or suffer any impacts; and the lovely caring guide Anita, always checking on us, offering water during the day, providing jackets for the wind, checking if the speed of the boat was ok for me etc. Anita also organised a cake with candles at the restaurant where we had lunch in Hvar to celebrate my birthday! The restaurant was recommended by Anita and Sinisa and it was really good. We took a bit longer than expected in Hvar and the crew ensured us that there was no problem in delaying our return a bit. We had a lovely return journey watching the sunset! The boat was spacious and clean, there was great background music during the tour, wi-fi and free bottled water. The crew was very professional, informative and helpful - they took pictures for us and went above and beyond to ensure we had the most amazing experience. We promised we’ll come back next year and we can’t think of a better company to go on a boat tour with in Croatia! Definitely recommend SeaYou, Marina, Anita and Sinisa specifically - THANK YOU SO MUCH!
