What To Expect
Blue Cave
The Blue Cave or Blue Grotto or Modra špilja is a splendorous and unique geomorphological natural wonder on the Croatian Adriatic located in a bay of Balun on the island of Biševo. A hypnotizing silver-blue light illuminates the space inside the cave when the sunlight hits the surface of the ocean through a crack or vault (natural opening) on its arched roof and reflects off the seabed.
Stiniva Cove
Stiniva Beach (also referred to as Stiniva Bay or Stiniva Cove) on Vis island is one of the most beautiful beaches in Croatia and not to be missed during your visit! A secluded turquoise cove with pebbly shores and surrounding verdant cliffs are just some of the reasons why Stiniva Beach was rated Europe’s Best Beach in 2019.

Good tour as long as you see the blue cave

4.00Organisation was very good and the price was very reasonable. We were lucky to see the blue cave as seeing this is weather dependent. Make sure you find this out before leaving port although it can be closed at any time - it’s outside the control of the tour companies as you get in a separate small boat to enter the cave skippered by a specialist navigator. If you’re lucky enough to get in the cave, you’ll realise why. No queues at the blue cave in shoulder season but we heard about very long queues in high season (at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours). Other places visited as part of the tour were ok but not that remarkable. The speedboat journey to the blue cave was quite long, over an hour. No cover on the speedboat and the ride was quite choppy. Again, this part is outside the control of the tour company. Would recommend this tour as long as you get to see the blue cave.
Rip off & guide with no personality!

2.00First both the blue & green caves were closed but we went anyway! Should have been told as we would have canceled! Guide did not ask our names or where we were from & had the personality of a fish! I do not recommend this tour! Said he was supposed to have snorkeling equipment but only had 2 masks! Only water to drink & no noodles or floatation devices!
Private tour with friends

5.00We did a tour the whole day and we visited some islands around Hvar, the red rocks and other parts of Hvar. It was incredible despite the wind and the sea that day. Definitely I would recommend this tour.

5.00We had an exceptional Experience with the Hvar Cruise team. Every stop was unfogettable and the captain also brought us to Vis as an extra place not expected on the tour. We higly reccomend this company!

5.00The tour itself was fabulous on the speedboat. The two guys running. It was so friendly and knowledgeable not happy with viator not giving us exact instructions on where we should meet the boat and we were lost… took a cab to the wrong place we emailed viator with questions and they never responded.
Great

5.00Both boys on the tour were very good and showed us parts of the islands we would never have seen. A great day for all of us on the boat.
Highly recommend this small group tour in very comfortable boat

5.00From the start of the booking with Laetitia everything was absolutely perfectly wonderful. As it was perfect weather we were taken to two additional caves along with the green and blue cave. Also for the blue cave tour we were the only boat in the cave so the guide took us around two times. The sea was calm the water 19 degrees celsius and it was nothing but glorious for the whole day.
Disappointing journey

2.00The two main targets were not reached. Closing of blue cave was told at the start, the green bay when in the boat. Overall, it would be fair to inform on the cancellations beforehand, as it appeared that there was information on the long queeing times available online. The staff tried their best, but a lot can be improved, starting from the safety procedures.
Good experience ruined by some dodgy dealings

4.00A beautiful experience to swim in the Green Cave, it's not necessarily unique but the Blue Cave was amazing! The trip is a bit too long without many options to relax, have food, and use the toilets. It seemed a bit too hurried but definitely recommended nonetheless. One has to pay separately "in cash" to go into the Green Cave, it felt like a scam run by the local guys who take tourists there. One needs to pay to enter the Blue Cave as well but at least it did not feel like a scam and was somewhat organised. Not sure who is charging and who is getting paid and what is being done with the money collected. I guess people who take tourists to the Blue Cave are probably getting paid by the collection from the ticket sold.
Beautiful visit in Hvar

5.00This was an excellent adventure. The Blue cave was INCREDIBLE! The Green cave was cool (and we could swim at that one), as was the pebble private beach we swam to (and the one we started out at). Our boat drive was fun and safe. Lots of great beach time in addition to the caves. I took this as an independent excursion on a cruise ship. We were able to communicate upfront our times in port and they assured us we would make our tender times. They were true to their word. I was nervous about when I would get back and they switched me boats at one of the beaches so I could be in the “cruise group” that needed back early. Even dropped us off right next to tender to save 10 minutes of walking. Highly recommend.
