Blue Cave
The Blue Cave is a natural phenomenon that attracts many tourists from all over the world. The cave is located on the eastern side of the island of Biševo near Vis. The cave has two openings, one through which a small paddle boat can pass and the other on the south side of the cave below sea level. Sunlight reaches this opening and reflects and illuminates the cave in blue. The visit to the cave is organized by a small paddle boat. After we reach Bisevo, we wait for the queue to enter the cave. The cave is fascinating and worth a visit. This natural phenomenon defends itself from excessive visits. Wondering how? In case of bad weather and waves it is not possible to enter the cave. That is why it is best to visit in the morning.

Rest assured that the locals will greet you warmly and welcome you. Considering the famous fishermen, Komiza is a place for a great meal. Choose your own terrace and enjoy the delicacies.

Stiniva Cove
In the middle of the wilderness of the island of Vis lies the most attractive cove. The ideal approach to Stiniva is by boat from the sea. The bay is about 600 meters long and is surrounded on both sides by high inaccessible rock cliffs. It is almost impossible for a shy to see when she is approached from the sea precisely because of her seclusion. At the foot of the beach are several uninhabited cottages that are protected as a nature reserve. The incredible nature and cleanliness of the sea adorn the cove. We stop here for a swim. And of course, plenty of unavoidable photos

Budikovac Island
Budikovac is a small uninhabited island near Vis. Also popular as the Vis Blue Lagoon. Since there is a beach bar and restaurant we will take the opportunity to refresh and stop. You can choose between a refreshing drink or a refreshing swim, and if you are a true hedonist you can choose both. By the way, you will meet a friendly donkey on Budikovac, the trademark of Dalmatia. After this gem, let’s head to Hvar town…

Hvar
What makes Hvar so special? First of all the position at which it is located. Hvar is a place that will delight even the most demanding ones. The sights of Hvar are the Hvar Cathedral, the Museum of Croatian Heritage, the Hvar Theater, the City Lodge, the city walls that span the northern part of the city and connect with Fortica (fortress). The view from Fortica is unavoidable and this is exactly the picture that toured the world. As a favorite destination for many foreigners, Hvar is also popular among Croatians who cannot resist the beauty of Hvar. After exploring the city, climbing Fortica, you'll have time for a coffee on one of the popular terraces where you can breathe in a scent of this island. After Hvar, we reach the last stop of the day; Pakleni islands
60 minutes here
Pakleni Islands
The Pakleni Islands are a stunning archipelago of 19 islands and cliffs located just off the coast of Hvar. After exploring the charming streets and historic sights of Hvar Old Town, it’s time to unwind and enjoy the Adriatic at its finest. On the Pakleni Islands, you can swim in the crystal-clear waters, soak up the sun on a beautiful terrace, and sip a refreshing cocktail by the sea — the perfect way to relax and end a memorable day on the water.

Amazing Day on the water!!
We were visiting from California and we wanted to get out on the water to see the islands and have a full Croatian experience, but we only had one day open in our travel schedule. This was the most unbelievable day! The Adriatic Sea and the Islands are beautiful and the boat and the tour were absolutely perfect. We did not know much about the area so the skipper took us to all the beautiful spots. We were in such good hands the entire day and definitely recommend this tour. If you have a day to get out on the water...this is the way to go! 5 star tour!

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private 5-Island Boat Tour: Blue Cave, Hvar & Pakleni Islands: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.
How much does Private 5-Island Boat Tour: Blue Cave, Hvar & Pakleni Islands cost?
+
Prices start at $1098 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 Private 5-Island Boat Tour: Blue Cave, Hvar & Pakleni Islands 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 Private 5-Island Boat Tour: Blue Cave, Hvar & Pakleni Islands worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Split, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private 5-Island Boat Tour: Blue Cave, Hvar & Pakleni Islands?
+
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 Private 5-Island Boat Tour: Blue Cave, Hvar & Pakleni Islands 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 Private 5-Island Boat Tour: Blue Cave, Hvar & Pakleni Islands?
+
Around 0 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 Private 5-Island Boat Tour: Blue Cave, Hvar & Pakleni Islands 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 Small-Group Walking Tour with a Magister of History, Split Walking Tour with Professor 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.
