Boat Tour to Blue Cave, Blue Lagoon & 5 Islands
Stand-Up Paddleboard or Kayak Night Glow Tour
To reach the Blue Cave, you'll need to take a boat tour from islands like Vis, Hvar, or Split. The tours typically include other stops like the Green Cave or Stiniva Bay, making the trip an exciting island-hopping experience.
Swimming is not allowed inside the Blue Cave to preserve its delicate environment. However, most tours offer other swimming spots nearby, like the Green Cave or secluded bays on nearby islands.
Most tours offer 15-20 minutes inside the Blue Cave itself, which is enough to admire its stunning blue light effects. However, the overall experience can take several hours if you consider boat transfers and other nearby attractions. A half-day tour is typically ideal, especially if you want to enjoy other nearby spots like Stiniva Cove.
The Blue Cave is located on a small island, so facilities are limited. There are no restrooms or dining options at the cave itself. However, on the nearby island of Vis, you’ll find restaurants, cafes, and restrooms. Be sure to carry essentials like water and snacks, especially if you’re taking a longer tour.
The Blue Cave is famous for the mesmerizing blue light that fills the cave when sunlight reflects off the white seabed. This natural phenomenon creates an otherworldly glow that visitors come from all over the world to witness. The best time to see this effect is around midday when the light is at its strongest.
The best time to visit is between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM when the sunlight creates the brightest blue reflection in the cave. Visiting early in the day can also help avoid larger crowds.
Comfortable, light clothing and swimwear are recommended, as many tours also stop at beaches. Don’t forget sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat, as you’ll be on the water for several hours. A light jacket might be useful as it can get chilly on the boat.
Unfortunately, the Blue Cave is not very accessible to those with mobility issues. The boats used are typically small, and the entrance to the cave is low, requiring passengers to duck down as they enter.
Many tours combine the Blue Cave visit with other stunning locations such as the Green Cave, Stiniva Cove, and Komiza town on Vis island. These stops offer swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing beach time.
During the summer months, especially July and August, it's best to book at least a week in advance to ensure availability. Tours can sell out quickly during this time.
