    What you'll see and do

    1. One of the most unique natural phenomena in the world, the Blue Cave will be a highlight of your holiday. With its silvery-blue color, created by light refraction of sunlight entering through a crack in the stone, it leaves nobody indifferent. It wasn’t until recently that the cave was open for public and it has been a must-see location ever since its opening. Travelers will have some free time on island Biševo and then they will go inside the cave with the small boats (not included in the price)

    2. Komiža lies on the sunny side of the Island Vis and is well sheltered from cold northerly winds, in the bottom of the largest bay on the island and compacted within narrow alleys and slender houses. It is a famous place for its fishermen on the Adriatic and perhaps even on the Pacific. Komiža faces south-west, towards the open sea and its horizon is limited by two islands – Biševo and Svetac.Travelers have free time to explore, swim, have a breakfast, coffee etc.

      60 minutes here

    3. Budikovac Island

      Just around the corner of Vis, island Budikovac is situated. The Budikovac beach is better known as the Blue Lagoon, thanks to the crystal clear sea. The sea bottom is covered partly with sea grass and partly with sand and shells, which makes it perfect for sunlight to reflect the many shades of blue. Also, it is not very deep, which makes it perfect for swimming and snorkelling. We provide you the equipment for that, so your only care is to grab a mask and dive into the shades from navy to turquoise blue, accompanied by small fishes. In the high season if Blue lagoon is too crowded we will provide swimming in secluded bay on island Vis.

      45 minutes here

    4. Stiniva Cove

      Stiniva is small and tight bay on the island of Vis. It’s one of the most attractive places in Croatia because of its unusual beach. The bay is approximately 600m long, and the width of the bay is 100m. Stiniva bay is famous because it’s surrounded by high cliffs. If its not too crowded travelers will have free time for swimming, if its too crowded, we will stop for swimming at the more peaceful bay.

      15 minutes here

    5. Pakleni Islands

      Pakleni islands are located off the southwest coast of the island of Hvar, Croatia, opposite the entrance to the Hvar (city) harbour. Usual local name is Škoji, which means Islands.

      Pass by without stopping

    6. Our last, but not the least jewel in this trip is island of Hvar, on which we are visiting town of Hvar. The sunniest town in entire Croatia, with about 2700 sun hours a year, is also the biggest town on the island and a popular destination for various types of tourists. It connects the best of the past and present. There you can spend time walking around the old town area, having some ice cream, just to soak the rich historical heritage that finds its roots in ancient Greece and Rome. On the other side, it is also popular as a party destination with quality photogenic bars and cocktails on every corner all day round. And if those intense sun hours make you want to take a dip again, the beaches are also near the old town area! That’s why people can never get bored or get enough of Hvar.

    Disappointing

    Very disappointed that we did not get to see the blue cave as we went in the afternoon and not the morning as per the itenary so the tides/choppy sea prevented that. Most of the day apart from around 3-4 hrs was on the boat which was very uncomfortable as it was a fast speedboat and rough. Also missed out on visiting Stiniva Bay for some reason. I wouldnt take this tour again.

    Expand your Croatia World

    Great varied day, something for everyone and able to keep us happy (55 & 57) and the ones in their 20’s. Added an extra hour for enforced changes due to high winds. Great guys who made things relaxed but organised. Swimming in a Cold War destroyer tunnel a highlight.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We’re delighted to hear that you all had such a great and varied day, with something to enjoy for everyone. We’re especially glad that the whole group, from your 20s to your 50s, had a fantastic time! The strong winds meant we had to make a few changes to the itinerary, so we’re happy we could add an extra hour and make the most of the day. And swimming through the Cold War submarine tunnel is definitely a memorable highlight! 🌊🚤 It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Croatia for another adventure in the future.☀️

    Blue Cave and Hvar Boat Tour: Small-Group from Split or Brac: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.

    How much does Blue Cave and Hvar Boat Tour: Small-Group from Split or Brac cost?

    +

    Prices start at $160 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Split usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Blue Cave and Hvar Boat Tour: Small-Group from Split or Brac take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Split is not rushed.

    Is Blue Cave and Hvar Boat Tour: Small-Group from Split or Brac worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 560 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Split, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Blue Cave and Hvar Boat Tour: Small-Group from Split or Brac?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Blue Cave and Hvar Boat Tour: Small-Group from Split or Brac suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Blue Cave and Hvar Boat Tour: Small-Group from Split or Brac?

    +

    Around 196 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Split can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Split and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Blue Cave and Hvar Boat Tour: Small-Group from Split or Brac start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Split within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Split?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Split experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Split Walking Tour with Professor of History, Split Small-Group Walking Tour with a Magister of History, From Split: Krka Waterfalls, Food & Wine Tasting Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Split?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Split?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Blue Cave and Hvar Boat Tour: Small-Group from Split or Brac?

    +
