Blue Cave Private Tour

What to expect on your private Blue Cave boat tour?

1/6

Departure from Split or Trogir

Meet your skipper at Trumbićeva obala (Split) or Obala bana Berislavića (Trogir), and board your private, sun-covered speedboat designed for up to 10 guests. After a safety briefing, set off across the Adriatic toward Biševo Island. Along the way, soak in coastal views and enjoy bottled water provided on board.

Blue Cave on Biševo

Arrive at the Blue Cave, where a small boat transfer takes you inside to witness its world-famous glow. The shimmering blue light, strongest around midday, creates an unforgettable natural spectacle.

Komiža Village & Vis Island

Continue to Komiža, a picturesque fishing village on Vis Island, featured in Mamma Mia 2. Stroll the waterfront, enjoy a coffee, or explore its traditional stone streets. Then cruise to Stiniva Cove- a dramatic bay framed by towering cliffs. Weather permitting, stop for swimming or snorkeling in its calm, clear waters.

Hidden Bays & Blue Lagoon

Sail on to Srebrena Beach (another Mamma Mia filming site) before arriving at Budikovac’s Blue Lagoon. Here you’ll have plenty of time to swim, snorkel, and unwind in shallow turquoise waters. Snorkeling masks are provided, but bring swimwear and water shoes for comfort.

Pakleni Islands & Hvar Town

Head toward the Pakleni Islands, known for palm-fringed beaches, lively beach clubs, and hidden coves. Depending on your group’s preference, stop at Palmizana Bay for cocktails, a swim, or a relaxed lunch at a seaside konoba. Finally, dock at Hvar Town where you’ll have free time to explore Venetian streets, climb the fortress for panoramic views, or simply enjoy the waterfront buzz.

Return to Split or Trogir

After a full day of island-hopping, reboard your private speedboat for the scenic ride back. Expect to arrive in the early evening with memories of glowing caves, cinematic bays, and Croatia’s most iconic islands.

Things to know before booking your Private Tour

This is a 10–11 hour full-day private tour covering the Blue Cave and 5 islands, with round-trip transfers from Split or Trogir.
The boat is private, reserved for your group only (up to 10 guests), making it ideal for families, couples, or friends.
Blue Cave entry tickets are not included in the base price. Fees vary seasonally (€12-24 per person) and must be paid in cash on-site.
Bottled water is included. Lunch stops are planned (often near Hvar or Pakleni), but meals are at your own expense unless you pre-arrange add-ons.
Access to the Blue Cave depends on calm seas. Tours may be delayed, rerouted, or canceled in bad weather. Full refunds are provided in case of cancellation.

Know before you go

Timings: The tour starts at 7am from Trogir and lasts for 10 hours.

What to carry: For a Blue Cave private tour, pack swimwear, water shoes, sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water. Bring cash for the entrance fee, a waterproof bag for valuables, and motion-sickness remedies if needed.

Facilities: There are no shops, restrooms, or eateries on-site. Tours usually provide boat transfers, shade, and sometimes snorkel gear. Carry your essentials, as nearby stops like Stiniva Bay or Blue Lagoon offer better amenities.

Keep cash handy for entry: The Blue Cave ticket (€12–24 depending on season) must be paid on-site in cash only, so prepare euros before you board.
Expect flexibility with weather: The Blue Cave opens only when seas are calm. Your skipper will adjust the itinerary if needed, often swapping in extra time at Hvar, Stiniva, or Budikovac.
Plan your lunch stop: Meals aren’t included, but your guide will recommend spots near Hvar or Palmižana Bay. Booking ahead for high season ensures a table at popular waterfront restaurants.
Pack smart for the boat: A dry bag, reef-friendly sunscreen, water shoes, and a light cover-up will make your day far more comfortable. Boats can get wet, and sun is strong on open water.
Enjoy exclusive flexibility: Unlike shared tours, a private trip lets you linger at Mamma Mia filming sites, swim longer in the Blue Lagoon, or skip busier islands depending on your group’s preferences.
Don’t rush photography: The cave is a quick in-and-out stop, so have your camera ready. Skip flash, as it flattens the magical blue light and disturbs marine life.
