Tour from Hvar · full day

Blue Cave and 5 islands from Hvar

Price 90 €/person
Duration 8 hours
Capacity 16 spots
Departures Apr–Oct

Green Cave, Stiniva, Blue Cave, Budikovac and Pakleni. Departure from Hvar at 10:30, return at sunset.

The Blue Cave on Biševo is the jewel of the Adriatic: a cavern where sunlight refracts through an underwater entrance, creating a fluorescent blue that seems impossible. We visit it in a small boat with a local guide.

Before and after, we explore 4 more islands: the Green Cave on Ravnik (emerald reflections inside the cave), Stiniva on Vis (voted one of the best beaches in Europe), Budikovac or Pritiščina depending on conditions, and we finish at Palmižana (Pakleni Islands) with time for lunch.

The tour is run by a local skipper with his own motorboat. Mario supports you via WhatsApp before and after, and sends you an information PDF.

We set off from Hvar and, honestly, skipping the long crossing from Split was a great call. We reached the Blue Cave before almost all the big boats and went straight in with no queues. The blue is stunning in real life.

Highly recommended if you're staying on Hvar. The organisation was flawless and we left the harbour right on time. We stopped at Biševo for the cave, then Vis, Stiniva, and came back past the Pakleni Islands. A full, action-packed day.

Jordi Riba · September 2025
★★★★★

Fantastic tour. The speedboat is fast and the skipper drives very safely. We made 3 swimming stops, one with loads of fish for snorkelling. The Blue Cave at midday with the sun straight overhead was incredible.

Ana Quintana · August 2025
★★★★★

We were staying on Hvar and chose this option so we wouldn't have to get up as early as you would leaving from Split. Good choice. Friendly contact over WhatsApp, easy to book, and the day turns out perfect. Hidden coves, crystal-clear water.

Felipe Galindo · August 2025
★★★★★

We had an amazing time. The speed of the boat is a bit scary at times, but you laugh a lot bouncing over the waves. The Blue Cave is small, but the effect of the real blue is magical. Well worth it.

Silvia Aranda · August 2025
★★★★★

A really complete tour. The stop at Stiniva (Vis) is one of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean, I'm not exaggerating. You have to walk a little to get there, but it's worth it.

David Mateos · August 2025
★★★★★

For those of us staying on Hvar who want to see the Blue Cave without losing a whole day to transfers, this is the best option. Mario answered all my questions on WhatsApp before I booked. Utterly professional.

Olga Carrasco · August 2025
★★★★★

Perfect day. Punctual pick-up, friendly crew, comfortable speedboat with room for everyone. Entry to the Blue Cave is 24€ extra. The Pakleni Islands on the way back in the golden evening light were spectacular.

Rubén Calvo · July 2025
★★★★★

We went as a couple and loved it. We'd seen the Blue Cave in photos and wanted to see it for ourselves. It doesn't disappoint. The route from Hvar is direct, and we gained a couple of hours to enjoy the islands at a more relaxed pace.

Inés Cabrera · July 2025
★★★★★

Well organised from start to finish. Confirmation email with all the details, clear meeting point. Very experienced skipper. Better than the big-boat options we saw at the agencies.

Alejandro Bravo · July 2025
★★★★★

Totally worth it. The Blue Lagoon with all those fish was the highlight for my kids. The Blue Cave impressed them too. A long day, but with enough stops that nobody got worn out. We had a really good lunch at a beach bar on Vis.

Patricia Lazo · July 2025
★★★★★

We joined the day's group and everything was perfect. Few spots, so it never felt crowded. Friendly people on board, relaxed atmosphere, chilled music. The Blue Cave alone justifies booking this tour; everything else is a bonus.

Daniel Olivares · June 2025
★★★★★

Brilliant tour. The difference between leaving from Hvar and from Split is huge: you save time and reach the cave earlier. You can tell the crew know the area well, the stops are chosen with real thought. I'd recommend it without hesitation.

Lucía Mendoza · June 2025
★★★★★

May is ideal for this. Fewer tourists, clean water, pleasant temperatures. We had the Blue Cave almost to ourselves. The skipper told us stories about the area in English, very entertaining. The best thing we did all week on Hvar.

Tomás Aragón · May 2025
★★★★★

A totally recommendable experience for a day out at sea! Claudia (the guide) made the tour excellent with her friendliness, helpfulness and kindness. The captain was also very kind. The speedboat was in excellent condition. The places we visited were incredible! Highly recommended!

Marina · September 2022
★★★★★

It's a local company with excellent knowledge of the area and the places to visit. Over the full-day trip they take you to both the Blue and Green Caves and Stiniva Beach, and at lunchtime they take you to the Pakleni Islands, to Palmižana, to enjoy a great atmosphere. The staff are wonderful and attentive to their guests at all times. A highly recommended experience.

Jose Carlos · September 2022
★★★★★

Speedboat... small group of people... Complimentary drinks and life jackets! I got my lifetime's fill of jumping into the deep ocean and swimming without any rush... The guide and the boat driver were super knowledgeable... We did the Blue Lagoon, the Green Cave, the Blue Cave, Stiniva Beach and Palmižana, finishing with lunch and cocktails at an amazing bar called Laganini; the cocktails are pricey but the house music is great... Bacchus is a bit expensive for lunch, but a great atmosphere! And enough has been said about the Blue Cave, which you have to pay 100 kn to see, but it's worth it.

Estefania · August 2022

A group of 7 of us did a day trip by boat from Hvar. Thanks to our great skipper, Zlatko, we had a wonderful day. He was so friendly and helpful! He tailored the trip to our needs and gave us lots of information at every stop. He showed us some extraordinary sights and created a great atmosphere for the trip. I'd definitely recommend it!

Martin · August 2022
★★★★★

The whole day was absolutely incredible! León took care of all our needs and comfort while explaining the area's notable features throughout the trip. He captained the boat in a professional yet relaxed way and was clearly attentive to what we wanted to do. We visited not only the two caves but also Stiniva Bay, where we could swim to the beach, and two other lovely, quiet bays. I'd recommend this tour and, if you're lucky enough to have Leon as your skipper/guide, even better!

Sergio · July 2022

We booked a private tour with acroacia for a group of 5. Dino was very quick to meet us at the docks on the morning of our trip. The deposit can be paid via PayPal, but make sure you have kuna/cash on the day of the tour. Our captain for this trip was Boris, who took us not only to the Green and Blue Caves but also to other quieter, local beaches and small caves in the area, which was a really lovely experience. Dino and Boris were very helpful and understanding in making sure we had a wonderful time. Very happy with their service and very friendly guides and company. I'd recommend it to any friend visiting Hvar!

Iker · July 2022

We joined a shared tour of 12 people in June 2022 and had a great day. Swimming in the crystal-clear turquoise water and in the green caves was the highlight. Captain Ivor and host Maya were great. Bring cold drinks and snacks; they advertised an ice box but didn't manage to get ice in time for our trip. I think a shower was mentioned in the information, but there are no such facilities on the boat. Still, good value for money.

Martina · July 2022
★★★★★

My group of 5 was looking at trip options. Most of the tours we looked at went to the same places (Blue and Green Caves, Stiniva Cove, etc.). We booked a private route, so we went to the same key spots but could go at our own pace. Our amazing skipper, Boris, was friendly and took us to other lesser-known places, which was a big plus. Before the trip I sent a few WhatsApps to Mario, who was happy to answer all my questions. We paid a deposit in advance via PayPal and paid the balance in cash on the day of the tour. We learned they're a smaller company, so it was great to be able to support a small local business, which is probably another reason they were so accommodating and helpful. Thanks for a great experience!

Pedro · July 2022
★★★★★

An exceptional day! What a magical place! So much to see and do and be amazed by. Very relaxing and nice and cool too. Be prepared to queue for the Blue Cave, but it's not a big deal because you can explore the island or sunbathe while you wait. The best day of the holiday.

Susana · June 2022
★★★★★

A brilliant day. As well as enjoying the wonderful islands, we had a fantastic time with good music and a great vibe. Bea and Ivan were very good hosts. Recommended for anyone who wants to spend a different kind of day, enjoy the turquoise water and see the islands.

Mar · August 2019
★★★★★

Simply brilliant. Highly recommended tour; it would have been impossible to see everything we saw on our own. And Adrian, the skipper, was super nice: he explained everything we were seeing, recommended places to eat and have a drink, we played whatever music we wanted, and he never rushed us to head back. We were allowed to bring our own drinks and food on board. In fact, we got back 2 hours later than planned. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Chelo · July 2019
★★★★★

We took a day trip with them and honestly it surprised us so much. We were on a boat with the "captain", the 5 of us and 4 other people, so we had plenty of room. We went round coves and caves in the cliffs, stopped for lunch in a fishing harbour, and finished with a stop at a beach with bars and a really great atmosphere for a drink. We had a really good day; if you're on Hvar it's a great way to spend a slightly different day. The price was 75 euros per person, well worth it ;)

Carlos Celis de Ibeas · May 2018
★★★★★

If you're visiting Hvar you have to do Adrian's tour! The tour was really complete, including visits to beautiful coves, caves, incredible views and a stop at a little fishing village (Komiža), among others. Highly recommended whether you go with friends, family or your partner. Absolutely worth it, it was a great experience. Thanks Adrian!

Santiago Saboya · May 2018
★★★★★

Adrian treated us brilliantly. Unlike other companies running tours, honesty plays a big part here: we saw Adrian's competitors offering trips to the Blue Cave when he knew the sea level was very high and it would be impossible to get inside for the next 3 days. On top of that, sea conditions were brutal further out towards the island of Vis, so we had to change the route for those reasons, and in the end we were all grateful because the sea really was rough with the wind that day. The music on the boat was good, not amazing, and that made the whole day more fun. We also shared the boat with three other people who we ended up making friends with, so good vibes ruled the whole trip. Thanks Adrian for taking us to see the sunset and showing us those two fantastic beach bars right on the sea!!! Don't hesitate, he is the one Great Captain!!!!
