Blue Cave and Pakleni Islands group Tour from Hvar
Overview
Available languages
8 hours
Mobile ticket
We’ll meet by the sea in Hvar and hop on a sleek speedboat with a small group and your local skipper. First stop: the Green Cave, where you can swim beneath a beam of sunlight shining through the ceiling — a peaceful, surreal experience.
Next is Stiniva Cove, a hidden beach surrounded by cliffs. Whether you snorkel or float in the calm water, it’s a place to slow down and soak it all in.
Then comes the magical Blue Cave on Biševo. Entering by small boat, you'll see the cave glowing in vivid blue — one of Croatia’s most breathtaking sights.
After that, we’ll visit a natural spot — a hidden bay or beach — chosen with your skipper based on the weather, season, and group’s vibe. It might be Komiža, Vis, Seal Monk’s Cave, Stončica, or a Pakleni Islands — always the best place for that day.
We’ll wrap up at Palmižana, where you can swim, unwind, or enjoy lunch by the sea. On the ride back to Hvar, the sun begins to set — the perfect end to a day full of beauty, fun, and memories.

Boat day from Hvar

4.00After boarding the boat, our captain and his assistant explained the day, where we would go, what we would do. There are many spots on the boat, but each include about a 20/30 minute ride in between. Our captain skipped the green cave (without us knowing until after), but took us to a more secluded cave with swimming, caves, colorful water. Ultimately this was fine with us, but just now the stops are not all guaranteed. We made it to the blue cave. You get off your boat, buy a ticket (online says cash only but they took card, price depends on the season), and board a smaller boat to go into the cave. You only look at the blue water, but it’s worth it in my opinion! Lunch was at a beautiful restaurant. There are a couple of options at the stop so I’d tell your skipper you want to explore on your own. We made one stop after lunch which made for a really long day. I think I would’ve enjoyed a bit shorter ride, but overall we enjoyed our boat experience and were happy with the activities we saw and did!
A great experience!

5.00This was a fantastic experience you cannot miss! We had an amazing day with our crew Mario and Sara who took us to some amazing swim spots and even to visit more islands as the blue cave was closed the day we visited. This was truly the highlight of our time in Croatia and we could not stop talking about how worth it the experience was. I highly recommend booking!
