What makes the Blue Cave special, and when is the best time to see it?

The Blue Cave's white limestone floor reflects sunlight through the water, bathing the cave interior in ethereal aquamarine light that turns submerged objects silver. This effect is best viewed during daytime hours when the sun angle is high; morning visits typically offer the most vibrant colours. Sea conditions and weather may occasionally limit access.

Can we visit all five islands and caves listed, or might some be skipped?

The itinerary includes Bisevo (Blue Cave), Vis (Komiza village, southern caves, Green Cave), Hvar, plus Budikovac and Smokova Bay. However, the Monk Seal Cave and Green Cave visits depend on weather and sea conditions, and the Green Cave stop is optional (with separate paid entry). Your skipper will confirm accessible stops each day.

Is this tour suitable for non-swimmers or families with children?

Yes — swimming is included but optional at designated beaches. Life jackets are available on request. Families with young children should confirm sea conditions and child supervision arrangements with the supplier before booking.

What's included in the price, and what costs extra?

The EUR 1,000 price covers private boat hire, guide, transport between islands, and access to main cave sites (Blue Cave, Green Cave cave-side viewing). Lunch in Hvar, Green Cave entry ticket (if you choose to visit), snorkelling equipment rental, and any food/drink purchases are separate and at your own expense.

How does the private tour format differ from group tours?

As a private tour, you have exclusive boat access with flexible timing, customised stops, and no fixed schedule dictated by large groups. You choose between beach swimming locations (Budikovac or Smokova) and can request route adjustments based on your interests and sea conditions.

What should I bring, and how much sun exposure is there?

Bring high-SPF sunscreen (50+), a wide-brimmed hat, UV-protective swimwear, and a light cover-up — sun exposure is intense on the boat. A waterproof bag, towel, and snorkelling gear (optional) are also recommended. Bring cash for lunch and Green Cave entry if you plan to visit.

About this activity

Explore five Croatian islands and the celebrated Blue Cave on a full-day private boat tour from Trogir. Visit hidden sea caves, charming fishing villages, and pristine beaches while swimming in crystal-clear Adriatic waters.

After meeting you at a prearranged location, you will start your tour traveling to
the small island of Bisevo and experience the hidden Blue cave. The Blue cave
is one of the best known natural beauties on the Adriatic sea . This is the
best time of the day to see all magic playing between sun and this cave. While
sunlight reflects through the water coming from the white floor of the cave and
bathes the cave in aquamarine light, objects in the water appear to be
silver(if weather and timetable allow us we will visit Monk seal cave). After
Blue cave, the next stop of this tour is nice fisherman's place, Komiza on the
island of Vis. After a pleasant sightseeing in Komiza we will take you to
Stiniva bay for sightseeing but on the way we will stop to check nice small
caves on south side of Vis and hidden "Lego man cave". This
uncommon shaped cove makes this place unique.

Your next visit is at the Green cave, a big cave which is characteristic because of the
sun light coming through a hole on the cave's top, spreading sparkling green
light on the sea inside, along the bottom, and walls(stop on this
location is not mandatory and tickets are not included, it is up to you to
decide)

Onward to swimming time on Budikovac Island or Smokova bay sand beach(guest chooses which
location). After your experiences on Vis, continue on to
Hvar island for a lunch break and sightseeing of town center and
Fortica fortress. With all the impressions that you got on this tour we are
ready to return back toward Split.

our guide Lucia really knew their stuff and the underground lake you can hear before you see was the highlight. First thing in the morning so it wasnt too busy. Great if youre not super fit, and cool 14 degrees down there, and for our anniversary. Would book again no question.
