Blue Cave & 5 Islands (the bucket-list day)

The Blue Cave tour is the big one: a fast speedboat to the glowing Blue Cave on Biševo, the dramatic Stiniva cove on Vis, the Green Cave and a stop in glamorous Hvar. It is a full, exciting day best timed to reach the cave in late morning — see our best time to visit the Blue Cave guide.

Three Island Tour (the easy full day)

The Three Island Tour is the relaxed, family-friendly choice — breakfast and a grilled lunch on board, swims at the Blue Lagoon and Duga Bay, and free time in the harbour village of Maslinica. Great value at €60, with children’s pricing.

Blue Lagoon half-day (the quick swim)

Short on time? The Blue Lagoon half-day reaches the famous turquoise lagoon in minutes, with morning or afternoon departures, so it slots neatly around the rest of your day.

Krka Waterfalls (the nature day)

For a change from the coast, the Krka Waterfalls day trip visits the thundering Skradinski Buk falls in Krka National Park, with a boat ride and stops in Šibenik and Primošten. Transport and the park ticket are included — full details in our Krka day trip guide.

Hvar & the Pakleni Islands

Chic Hvar town and the turquoise Pakleni archipelago make a wonderful day by sea — easiest as a private speedboat charter so you set your own pace.

Plitvice Lakes (the long inland option)

The famous Plitvice Lakes are further afield — a long but rewarding full day of boardwalks and waterfalls. If nature is your priority but time is tight, Krka is the closer, easier choice.

Sea or land — how to choose

Want to swim? Blue Lagoon (short) or Three Island Tour (full day).
Want the wow factor? Blue Cave & 5 Islands.
Want nature and waterfalls? Krka.
Travelling as a group? A private charter to Hvar or the Blue Cave.
