The day, hour by hour

09:00

Cast off from the Hvar riva

The earliest boat of the day crosses the open channel toward Bisevo while the sea is at its calmest and the light still soft. Coffee in hand, you watch Hvar shrink behind the wake and the open water take over.

10:15

The Blue Cave

Leaving Hvar at first light, you arrive before the big day boats: transfer to the official cave boats, duck under the low arch and watch the whole chamber glow electric blue around you. Ten minutes inside feel longer than they are, in the best possible way.

11:15

Espresso in Komiza

The fishing town on the far side of Vis that most tourists never reach: stone riva, working boats and coffee that tastes better for the journey. If your crew would rather swim than sip, we trade this stop for an extra bay.

12:00

Stiniva cove

Swim and snorkel where two cliffs almost touch above a hidden pebble beach, regularly voted among the most beautiful in Europe. Bring the mask: visibility under the cliffs is superb.

13:15

The Green Cave

On Ravnik island a sunbeam falls through a hole in the rock and lights the water neon green. Here you swim in, mask on. The beam is brightest around midday, which is exactly when we arrive.

14:00

Budikovac blue lagoon

Shallow, turquoise and lazy: a long float with a drink in hand, and an island konoba if hunger strikes early. This is the part of the day where nobody checks the time.

15:45

Late lunch on Palmizana

The soft landing: sandy lagoon, botanical gardens and the famous tables of Laganini, Zori and Totos before the short hop home. In season we book the table for you in advance.

17:30

Back on the Hvar riva

Salt in your hair, phone full of photos and the whole evening still ahead of you. Dinner plans survive: we time the return around your reservation.

Blue Cave tour, common questions

How long do you spend inside the Blue Cave?

About 10 to 15 minutes. At the entrance everyone transfers to the official small cave boats run by the local operator, glides in under the low arch and circles the glowing chamber. It is short and completely unforgettable.

Can you swim inside the Blue Cave?

No, swimming inside the cave is not allowed. The swimming happens everywhere else on this tour: Stiniva, the Green Cave, the Budikovac lagoon and any cove you like along the way.

Are the Blue Cave tickets included?

The cave ticket is charged on the spot by Nauticki centar Komiza: adults 24 € from 20 June to 10 September and 18 € off season, children 6 to 12 pay 12 € and 9 €. That ticket also covers the multimedia exhibition at the visitor centre on Bisevo. The Green Cave has no ticket. Everything else about the boat day is in our quote.

Why do you visit the Blue Cave first?

Because at midday the queue can swallow an hour or more of your day. Leaving Hvar early puts you at the cave before the big day-trip boats arrive, so you sail in while others wait.

What happens if the sea is too rough for the cave?

In a southern swell the cave closes for safety. If that happens we rebuild the day around Stiniva, the Green Cave, Budikovac and the Vis coastline, or move the tour to another day. If nothing works, you get your money back.

Is this tour good for kids?

Yes, kids usually love it: caves, swim stops and a fast boat. Tell us their ages when booking so we prepare the right life jackets, and we plan the pace around them.
