Short answer: the Blue Cave tour from Trogir is a full-day speedboat adventure to the glowing Blue Cave on Biševo, plus a string of open-sea islands including Vis and Hvar. It is the most spectacular day trip in the region — here is everything you need to plan it.

What is the Blue Cave?

The Blue Cave (Modra špilja) is a sea cave on the tiny island of Biševo, near Vis. On a sunny late morning, sunlight enters through a submerged opening and reflects off the pale seabed, filling the whole cavern with an unreal electric-blue glow. It is one of the natural wonders of the Adriatic.

The route, stop by stop

Blue Cave, Biševo — the highlight; you transfer into a small local boat to enter.
Stiniva Cove, Vis — a hidden pebble beach between towering cliffs, once voted Europe’s best.
Green Cave, Ravnik — a sea cave with emerald light, great for a swim.
Hvar & the Pakleni Islands — free time in chic Hvar town and turquoise swim spots.
Extra swim stops — in clear open-sea bays along the way.

Price and what’s included

The Blue Cave & 5 Islands tour is €110 per person and runs as a small group on a fast, comfortable speedboat with a licensed skipper, water and safety gear on board. The Blue Cave entrance ticket and lunch in Hvar are paid locally. Because it is a premium, weather-dependent trip, it is paid in full at booking.

The best time to go

The blue glow is strongest around 11:00–12:00 on a calm, sunny day, and May, June and September offer the best mix of light and smaller crowds. We break this down fully in our best time to visit the Blue Cave guide.

Will the cave be open?

Entry is through a low opening by small boat, so it only runs in calm seas — wind or swell can close it at short notice for safety. A good tour always has a plan B of equally beautiful islands, and an early start helps you get in before the summer queues build.

Is it worth it?

For most travellers, absolutely — it is a long, full day, but it packs in the single most memorable sight on the coast plus five islands of swimming and scenery. It suits confident travellers and older children (minimum age 5). Prefer your own pace? Book it as a private charter.
