Loved the experience, great vibes, great DJ, great weather, awesome promoters. Lucky, the promoter took care of me (as a solo female traveler, sometimes you need an extrovert to hype you up and include you) ! Owner was also there to oversee everything and make sure that everyone is having a good time!

Many thanks for a wonderful day! Despite the guide's absence, the boat's driver calmly and professionally handled both navigation and explanations. His constant attention to the wind and the sometimes turbulent conditions made the tour all the more impressive. An unforgettable experience, combining scenic beauty and boat handling. Well done to him

Loved the variety of stops and the swimming opportunities. The small group (11 of us) was the perfect size. Communication with the tour guide prior to the trip was good. Would highly recommend this great day out

Marco was a really friendly guide who was really aware for everyone to have fun, eat and drink well, it was awesome, we did 4 stops and two of them were to snorkel, we did, the points were a bit dirty but it was fun! The music was perfect and the weather joined us! Marco and the sailor were really kind and friendly and the food was really good with the free white wine! The restaurant was perfect!

Everything was fine. Only the email from Headout stated a starting location, which was not correct. And it was also written that you had to be there by 7.00am. It was not clear to me that the departure point had been changed and that the time for the meeting point had also been changed to 7.15 am. This made the start very hectic for me! Best regards

Why choose a Blue Cave tour from Split?

1/4

Start from Croatia’s main coastal hub

Split’s harbor is well-connected, walkable, and easy to reach from most hotels. It’s the most convenient departure point for island-hopping if you’re staying in the Old Town or catching an early ferry.

More tour options to suit your style

From shared small-group tours to private charters, Split offers more departures, more flexibility, and smoother transfers. Want to skip the crowds? Choose a private boat. Prefer a social vibe with expert guides? Go for a group tour.

Access 5 islands in one day

All tours from Split follow a thrilling loop: Biševo’s Blue Cave, Komiža village, Stiniva Cove, Budikovac’s Blue Lagoon, the Pakleni Islands, and the town of Hvar. You'll swim, snorkel, explore, and still make it back in time for sunset drinks.

Smooth and scenic boat transfers

You’ll cruise on a fast, sun-covered speedboat, with stops designed for both sightseeing and swimming. Each trip includes an experienced, English-speaking skipper and safety gear, so you can relax and enjoy the ride.

The Blue Cave, up close

This glowing sea grotto on Biševo Island is the main highlight. You’ll transfer to a small boat for a timed 10–15 minute visit inside. The electric-blue glow is caused by sunlight hitting the seabed and reflecting through the water. Make a note that swimming isn’t allowed here.

Stops along the way on your day tour

1. Blue Cave (Biševo Island)

The Blue Cave is where your day usually begins. Sunlight reflects off the white seabed and fills the cave with an otherworldly blue glow. This phenomenon only happens for a short window each day. Your tour is timed perfectly to make sure you experience it at its most magical.

Komiža (Vis Island)

Next, explore Komiža, a traditional Dalmatian fishing village with stone houses, a breezy waterfront promenade, and a laid-back vibe. This is where scenes from Mamma Mia 2 were filmed, and it’s the perfect place for a short stroll or a coffee break.

Stiniva Cove

Hidden behind towering cliffs, Stiniva Cove is a dramatic, narrow beach often ranked among Europe’s best. Reachable only by boat or a long hike, it’s a peaceful and protected spot with clear turquoise water.
