If you are in Split and not spending time any serious time on the islands, you should definitely make time for this day trip out to Hvar and the Blue Cave to get a sense of the Dalmatian Coast.
Nella (our guide) and Rocco (boat driver) were both great. Wonderful trip, nice boat, expert boat driving, super low key. The blue cave was really neat, although I didn't it would be worth the 3 hours round trip in a speedboat if you weren't also taking in other sites over the course of the day.
Off-season (mid-May) was not at all crowded, with the trade-off being that the day was a little too chilly for us to swim. (Braver souls than us certainly swam, though!)
