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.

5.00Absolutely unforgettable experience! The boat trip around the islands near Hvar was one of the highlights of my trip. The hosts Sara i Josip was a friendly crew, it was a pleasure to sail with them. The scenery was breathtaking, the sea was crystal clear, and every stop felt like a hidden paradise. The crew was friendly, professional, and made sure everyone had a great time. We swam in beautiful bays, explored stunning islands, and enjoyed an amazing atmosphere throughout the day. Everything was well organized, but at the same time it felt adventurous and exciting. It was honestly a crazy, fun-filled day that I will remember for a long time. If you’re visiting Hvar, this boat tour is a must-do! Highly recommended! 🚤☀️🏝️🌊

Amazing boat tour in HVAR

5.00Went on the Blue Cave boat tour with a group of friends and had a great time. Our guide was super chill and made the day really fun—he felt more like part of the group than a tour guide. The whole trip was relaxed, we never felt rushed, and we got to see some amazing spots. Easily one of my favorite days in Hvar.
