Why is the Blue Cave best seen at a specific time of day?

Sunlight reflects through the water off the white limestone floor, filling the cave with aquamarine light. Overhead sun angles create the strongest colour and reflection effect—typically midday or early afternoon depending on season.

What's included in the 9-hour tour price (from €1000)?

Private boat transport, visits to five islands, Blue Cave, access to coves and 'Lego man cave', swimming stop at Budikovac or Smokova Bay, and Hvar town sightseeing with Fortica fortress. Green Cave ticket is separate and optional.

Will we definitely visit all three caves?

Blue Cave and the 'Lego man cave' are core stops. Monk Seal Cave is weather/schedule dependent as a bonus. Green Cave is optional with its own ticket—you decide on the day based on conditions and interest.

Is there a lunch break, and is food included?

Yes, a lunch break in Hvar town centre is scheduled. Food and drinks are not included; you'll eat at waterfront restaurants or cafés. Komiza also offers fresh fish options if you prefer a quieter setting.

Can we swim, and what are the best swimming spots?

Yes. You choose between Budikovac Island (more scenic, rocky) or Smokova Bay (sandy beach). Both offer clear Adriatic waters ideal for snorkelling. Bring or rent snorkelling gear to spot marine life around the caves.

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

The tour is flexible: you can enjoy cave viewings, island villages, and fortress sightseeing without swimming. Confirm boat stability and sea conditions with your operator if you have concerns about young children or mobility.

About this activity

Explore five Adriatic islands and three sea caves on a private 9-hour boat tour from Trogir, anchored by the Blue Cave's ethereal aquamarine waters and complemented by stops in charming fishing villages and secluded beaches. This curated itinerary combines natural wonders—including the distinctive 'Lego man' rock formation and Green Cave—with cultural exploration of Hvar and Vis.

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.

Insider tips

★Book morning departures to catch optimal sunlight in Blue Cave—the reflection effect is strongest when sun angle is high
★Bring snorkelling gear or rent locally; underwater visibility in these caves reveals silver-toned objects and marine life
★Komiza is quieter and more authentically local than Hvar's main harbour; grab fresh fish at waterfront restaurants here
★Choose Smokova Bay for sandier swimming or Budikovac for rocky exploration—ask your captain about conditions on the day

our guide Beatriz was brilliant and the huge chamber full of stalactites was the highlight, and ideal with kids (ours are 6 and 9), and cool 14 degrees down there.

our guide Pedro really knew their stuff and squeezing through the narrow bit was the highlight, and great if youre not super fit, and went deep into the system.

our guide Sven was nice enough, but the huge chamber full of stalactites felt a bit rushed honestly. For our anniversary. Would only really suit you if youre not fussy, cool 14 degrees down there. Bit disappointed ngl, mid-week so it was quiet.

Marco our guide very good, and the underground lake you can hear before you see we love it. Is much better than the cave tour we do in Bali before. We are very happy, recommend to all!
