Activity itinerary

Blue Cave

Discover the mesmerizing Blue Cave, a natural wonder on Biševo Island. During midday hours, sunlight penetrates through an underwater opening, creating a magical blue glow that illuminates the entire cave. This stunning optical phenomenon transforms the interior into a surreal azure sanctuary. Your visit includes a small boat transfer into the cave (weather permitting) where you'll experience this ethereal blue light firsthand. Note that wait times can range from 30 minutes to 2 hours during peak season. To avoid lengthy waits, we monitor online ticket numbers and can help time your visit strategically. The brief time inside (about 10-15 minutes) is truly unforgettable, offering perfect photo opportunities of this dazzling natural spectacle. At €18 during high season (€12 off-season), this iconic Adriatic attraction delivers a truly unique experience you'll remember long after your Croatian adventure.

Vis

Pritiscina Bay, Vis, Croatia Discover Pritiscina, one of Vis Island's best-kept secrets—a stunning double bay nestled along the rugged southern coastline. This hidden gem features two connected coves: Velika (Large) and Mala (Small) Pritiscina, each offering extraordinary swimming experiences in pristine azure waters. Our boat will navigate directly into this secluded paradise, accessible primarily by sea, allowing you to experience its unspoiled beauty without crowds. The dramatic landscape features imposing cliffs surrounding the bays, creating a natural amphitheater that enhances the feeling of discovering a private Mediterranean paradise. The striking blue waters are perfect for swimming and snorkeling, with exceptional visibility. Enjoy the tranquility of this remote location where photographers will appreciate the magnificent contrast between the azure sea, white pebble beaches, and rugged cliff formations—authentic beauty that defines Croatia's coast.

Stiniva Cove

Discover Stiniva Bay, a hidden paradise consistently ranked among Europe's most beautiful beaches. This remarkable cove is framed by towering limestone cliffs that narrow dramatically to create a natural gateway just 4 meters wide opening to the Adriatic Sea. As our boat navigates through this narrow entrance, you'll be awestruck as the bay suddenly reveals itself—a secluded pebble beach surrounded by 35-meter high cliffs forming a natural amphitheater. The crystal-clear turquoise waters offer perfect swimming and snorkeling conditions in this protected natural wonder. For the adventurous, there's an opportunity to swim through the narrow passage or explore the small caves along the shoreline. The dramatic scenery and pristine waters make Stiniva an unparalleled photo opportunity and swimming destination. Once a former cave whose roof collapsed centuries ago, this geological masterpiece now stands as one of Croatia's most iconic and Instagram-worthy coastal treasures.

Green Cave

Experience the enchanting Green Cave, a captivating natural formation near the island of Vis. Unlike its blue counterpart, this cave features a mesmerizing emerald glow created by sunlight filtering through a ceiling opening and reflecting off the white seabed. Visitors can swim in the crystalline waters inside the cave, surrounded by the ethereal green light that dances across the ancient stone walls. The spacious interior allows for a more relaxed exploration compared to other caves in the area. At €12 during high season (€8 off-season), the Green Cave offers excellent value with typically shorter wait times. Our skipper will navigate you right into the cave opening where you can marvel at this natural phenomenon, swim in the glowing waters, or even cliff jump for the adventurous. This less crowded gem provides a perfect balance of natural beauty and accessibility in your Adriatic island-hopping adventure.

Budikovac Island

Experience the breathtaking Blue Lagoon at Budikovac, a tiny uninhabited island that's home to one of the Adriatic's most stunning natural swimming pools. This paradise features extraordinarily clear turquoise waters set against a backdrop of untouched Mediterranean nature. The shallow, sandy seabed creates a mesmerizing gradient of blues visible even from a distance, earning its "Blue Lagoon" nickname. Our boat will anchor in this picturesque bay, giving you time to swim in the crystalline waters, snorkel among colorful fish, or simply relax on the small pebble beach. After enjoying this natural paradise, you can opt for lunch in nearby Vis town (not included in price), where excellent seafood restaurants await, or continue to our next destination. Simply discuss your preference with our skipper who will accommodate your choice. The island's serene atmosphere provides a perfect contrast to the caves, making it an ideal spot to unwind in the pristine beauty of the Adriatic.

Ždrilca Beach

Experience the enchanting Zdrilca Beach, a hidden paradise nestled in the Pakleni Islands archipelago. This serene bay features crystal-clear turquoise waters and a picturesque pebble shore fringed by aromatic pine trees that provide natural shade on hot summer days. Our boat will anchor in this tranquil cove, inviting you to swim in the remarkably transparent waters or snorkel around the rocky edges where colorful marine life thrives. Zdrilca's sheltered position makes it an ideal swimming spot even on breezier days. The beach offers a perfect balance of natural beauty and subtle amenities, with a charming seaside restaurant serving fresh local seafood and cold drinks. Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of this unspoiled location, where you can immerse yourself in authentic Mediterranean tranquility away from crowded tourist spots—the quintessential Croatian island experience with pristine nature and dazzling waters.

Palmižana

Conclude your island adventure at Palmizana, the crown jewel of the Pakleni Islands and the perfect final stop before returning to Hvar. This stunning bay combines natural splendor with sophisticated amenities in an idyllic setting of lush Mediterranean vegetation. The sheltered harbor features crystalline turquoise waters ideal for a refreshing swim, while the pristine beach offers a comfortable spot to soak up the last rays of Croatian sunshine. Palmizana is home to an elegant beach club and renowned restaurants where you can enjoy a final island cocktail or coffee while reflecting on your day's adventures. Art lovers will appreciate the botanical gardens and sculpture collection that add cultural richness to this natural paradise. With its blend of untamed beauty and refined hospitality, Palmizana provides the perfect finale to your Adriatic island-hopping journey—leaving you with lasting memories of Croatia's spectacular coastline as we make our way back to Hvar harbor.
