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. After a safety briefing, set off across the Adriatic toward Biševo Island.

Blue Cave on Biševo

Arrive at the Blue Cave, where a small boat takes you inside to witness its world-famous glow. Keep your camera ready because the shimmering blue light is strongest around midday and worth capturing.

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, step back on board your private speedboat for a scenic return. You’ll reach your harbor by early evening, with the sunset ride offering the perfect way to unwind and take in the beauty of the Dalmatian Coast.
