Overall good experience. Very good boat and crew. The blue cave experience is overrated and the time to travel for this is not worth it in my opinion. The rest of the day was great, beautiful little beaches, great restaurant in Hvar with amazing view and lovely swim and snorkelling experiences.

Booking of Friday, 02nd August 2024. The different stop for swimming in amazing and breathtaking places. Hvar island, and falling for Marinkovac island (incredible, just wow). We couldn't reach blue cave because of weather, we have been refunded, thanx. The blue lagon is nice but we were a little bit disappointed of dirty island, so many trashes on it. The skipper (I don't remember his name). He was so kind, gave us so many details about places, even the temperature of the sea ahh ;) and really nice to us. Gonna never forget his Croatian accent when he was speaking English ahhh! Thank for this crazy and wonderful day. Kind regards, Candice FOULEAU France 🇫🇷

Booking through Headout was easy and confirmation and digital tickets received almost immediately. The packs a lot into one day. Unforunatel due to weather conditions we were unable to visit the Blue Caves however another small island village was substituted. Also due to the weather conditions, the boat ride was rough...but again, not much the boat driver could do. We enjoyed the tour and the places we visited.

We had an awsome crew with capten Anthony in carge who was safe and professional so we had a lot of fun in the day even though high waves and rough sea so the Blue Cave closed. But it was false marketing with "drinks included such as water, juice and beer - self service". We got 1 small battle of water... That was bad!

The boat we took the skipper took an excessive speed to arrive on the isles and wait for 3 hours to visit the blue coast! No offer of a bottle of water during the crossing! Not very pleasant!

SplitBlue Cave ToursBlue Cave tour from Split

Split, Croatia’s second-largest city, is a travel hub and also a gateway to the Adriatic’s most beautiful islands. With its lively Riva promenade, rich Roman history, and easy port access, Split is the most popular departure point for full-day boat tours to the legendary Blue Cave and beyond.

Why choose a Blue Cave tour from Split?

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

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 iconic 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.

What to expect on a Blue Cave tour from Split

Island-hopping at its best
Expect a packed yet smooth itinerary that includes Biševo (Blue Cave), Komiža, Stiniva Bay, Budikovac, Pakleni Islands, and Hvar. You’ll have stops for swimming and plenty of photo ops along the way.

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.

Swim & snorkel stops
Take a dip in Stiniva Cove, one of Europe’s most beautiful beaches, and the Blue Lagoon at Budikovac Island. Both tours include snorkeling gear.

Food & drink
Water is provided. A lunch stop is scheduled at Palmižana Bay (shared tour) or near Hvar (private tour), with meals at your own expense.

Safety first
Both tours operate on safe, modern speedboats with shaded seating, life jackets, snorkeling gear, and full insurance. English-speaking skippers and guides lead the way.
