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! I RECOMEND IT A LOT!

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

Direct access with less fuss

Trogir’s marina is just minutes from your hotel or Airbnb. Overall the town is very accessible. Most tours leave directly from Trogir or include a short, organized shuttle to Split’s Riva, making the start of your day smooth and hassle-free.

A full-day island escape

Departing from Trogir gives you access to a packed itinerary: Blue Cave on Biševo, hidden swim spots like Budikovac and Stiniva Bay, and free time in Hvar town. It’s actually a circuit of Croatia’s most stunning islands in one seamless loop.

Small groups, big views

Tours from Trogir are capped at 8–12 guests, offering a more intimate vibe. With fewer people onboard, you'll enjoy open deck space, personal guidance from your skipper, and less waiting at each stop.

Hollywood-worthy coastline

From Trogir, you’ll visit the real Mamma Mia! filming locations like Komiža, Stiniva Cove, and Srebrena Beach. Even if you're not a fan, the dramatic cliffs and turquoise coves will win you over.

What to expect on a Blue Cave tour from Trogir 

Five island stops

Both shared and private tours include all the highlights: Blue Cave (Biševo), Komiža village, Stiniva Cove, Vis, Budikovac, Pakleni Islands, and Hvar town. These islands are perfect for sightseeing, swimming, and film-spotting.

The star of the show: The Blue Cave

Located on Biševo Island, this sea grotto glows with an ethereal blue light around midday when sunlight filters through an underwater opening. All tours include a timed entry via small boats (swimming isn’t allowed), giving you 10–15 minutes inside to take in the glow.

Guided transfers

On the shared tour, your day starts in Trogir with a short transfer to Split, where you’ll meet your skipper and group at the Riva promenade. On the other hand the private tour offers direct departure from either Trogir or Split.

Swim & snorkel

Enjoy swim stops at Stiniva Bay and the Blue Lagoon. Both tours include snorkeling gear, so you're ready to dive into crystal-clear waters.

Food & drink

Water is provided on both tours. A lunch break is scheduled at Palmižana Bay, a scenic waterfront spot near Hvar. Meals are at your own expense.

Gear & safety

Expect a safe, comfortable ride on a spacious, sun-covered speedboat. Both tours provide life jackets, diving masks, insurance, and are led by licensed, English-speaking skippers.
