3.3 Islands Speedboat Tour: Golden Horn, Blue Lagoon & Jelsa

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 117 reviews · 5 hours · from $94

From Makarska, a small speedboat group of up to 10 or 12 people visits Zlatni Rat, Zirje Beach, Zečevo Island, and Jelsa. You get snorkeling gear, three swim stops, free time in Bol, and a fast ride along Brač’s rocky coast. Guide Marco has led some departures.

“Unfortunately we didn’t get to do our trip as the weather was dangerous with high winds. The guide was very apologetic and helpful and refunded us fully. I wanted to leave a review because sometimes things don’t go according to plan but we were very happy with the service and communication. Safety was important to promare and we felt they were responsible for making sure we weren’t at risk which is the most important thing.”
