Itinerary
The unique wonder of nature, is located on the island of BiĆĄevo. A unique place in the world, widely known for its crystal clear water and stunning shades of blue, while all the parts of the cave seem to glow, thanks to the rays of the sun as they touch the bottom of the cave.
After the Blue Cave sightseeing, we continue our cruise along the southeast side of Vis Island to visit Stiniva Beach. Stiniva Beach is a place to stop and take a dip because it was voted as one of the most interesting and beautiful beaches in Europe. Stiniva Cove was voted the best European beach of 2016.
Budikovac island is one of many in the Vis channel, inhabited but charming with its beach bar and splendid swimming location. If you do not prefer to swim, you can always choose to have a drink in a local beach bar.
The last stop on our tour is the island of Hvar. It needs no introduction given the fact that it is one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world. You will have approx. 2h of free time in the city of Hvar, more than enough time to have a meal there. Also, our skipper will pay attention that you have enough free time both for sightseeing and having lunch/dinner in Hvar town. When it comes to sightseeing, we can mention a few locations not to miss: The fortress on top of the hill above Hvar, Main Square, St. Stephenâs CathedralâŠ
Pakleni Islands are actually a set of islands located in front of the town of Hvar, famous for its beauty. The islands are not inhabited during the whole year and every single one of them has something different to offer â from bars and restaurants to beaches and scents of pines and local herbs. And yes, we cannot just ignore it: the actual correct name of this set of islands is PAKLINSKI Islands. It was named after Paklina, a black resin characteristic for the type of pines growing on the islands which were used in shipbuilding. Pakleni Islands is the last stop of the tour but on your way back to Split you will have the chance to experience one of the most beautiful sunsets. The perfect ending to a perfect day.

Traveler reviews
An experience to remember â€ïž
Gabriel and Nikko are the best!! They are friendy and funny. The Tour was more enjoyable thanks to them! I definetely recommend đđ
Last Day of our journey
Nice Journey, but a litlte bumpy on the way home.
Terrified
Wonderful lovely excursion until we would go the last leg back to Split. We had to hold on cramped to not fly off the boat.
Problems
Be careful! The Agency Postponed the Activity due to bad weather, two days later, they cancelled it for same reasons ...and they told me that Viator should refund My money...impossible to contact them and get My money back.
Could be a lot better
Like other reviewers have mentioned, this tour involves a lot of boat travel time and no snorkels were provided. One of the beach stops was changed to just a photo stop without any explanation. At the tour office before the tour started, we were told to pay for the Blue Cave entrance tickets in cash, including for our 8 year old. At the blue cave, one of the crew members bought the tickets upon arrival and didnât give one to our kid because he said one wasnât needed. So why was money collected for the Blue Cave for her? We also had to wait over an hour for our groupâs turn to go into the Blue Cave because regular tickets were purchased by the crew instead of fast pass tickets. That is a lot of time wasted, which cut into time that was supposed to be spent elsewhere. This tour could be a lot better and though we had a good time overall, we felt there was a lot of bait and switches.
