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

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

Blue Cave Tour from Trogir: Itinerary

  • Morning: Begin with a transfer from Trogir to Split’s Riva promenade (for group tours) or depart directly from Trogir if on a private speedboat. Meet your skipper, board a sun-covered boat, and cruise across the Adriatic toward Biševo Island. On arrival, transfer to a smaller vessel to enter the Blue Cave, where sunlight creates the cave’s iconic glowing effect. Afterward, stop in Komiža, a traditional fishing village on Vis Island, for coffee or a short stroll along the waterfront.
  • Midday: Continue to Stiniva Bay, one of Europe’s most dramatic beaches, where you can swim inside its cliff-ringed cove. Sail past Srebrena Beach, a Mamma Mia! filming location, before dropping anchor at Budikovac’s Blue Lagoon. Here, enjoy time for swimming, snorkeling, or simply floating in shallow turquoise waters.
  • Afternoon: Cruise on to the Pakleni Islands, stopping at Palmižana Bay for a relaxed seaside lunch (meal not included). This is your chance to sample Dalmatian cuisine at a konoba or beachside restaurant, or just unwind with a cocktail by the water.
  • Evening: End your day in Hvar Town, with free time to explore its Venetian Old Town, shop along the lively promenade, or hike up to the Španjola Fortress for sweeping sunset views. Finally, return by speedboat to Split and transfer back to Trogir by early evening.
