The Blue Cave on Vis, Croatia’s most remote island, is an absolute must-see. Vis has it all: sun-soaked beaches, stunning Adriatic views, fascinating history, and some of the freshest seafood you’ll find anywhere. Visiting the Blue Cave is like stepping into another world, where the water glows a vivid blue that feels almost surreal. After the adventure, kick back on the island, enjoy some local wine, and soak up the laid-back vibes. Vis isn’t just a place you visit—it’s an experience that stays with you long after you’ve left its turquoise shores.
Facilities on Bisevo Island are minimal, with no restrooms or dining at the cave itself. However, nearby islands like Vis offer cafes, restrooms, and other amenities for convenience.
Mid-morning to early afternoon is best, usually between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM when sunlight illuminates the cave with a brilliant blue glow.
Yes! In addition to the Blue Cave, you can explore Red Rocks, Stiniva Bay, and the Pakleni Islands, each offering stunning scenery, hidden coves, and excellent snorkeling spots.
Absolutely! Vis offers something for every traveler. Adventure-seekers can enjoy scuba diving, hiking, and paddleboarding, while those interested in local culture can dive into the island’s cuisine and wine experiences. Vis is a fantastic blend of natural beauty and authentic Croatian charm.
Vis is renowned for year-round scuba diving. Divers can explore a fascinating underwater world filled with caves, canyons, sunken ships, and even WWII-era plane wrecks, making it a top dive destination in the Adriatic.
A half-day tour typically includes visits to the Blue Cave for its dazzling blue light, the Green Cave known for its green glow, and Lopud Island, where you can relax on sandy beaches or explore local attractions. It’s a fantastic option for a quick getaway that covers some of the Adriatic’s best natural highlights.
Yes! Families will find cozy guesthouses and well-equipped villas that provide comfort and convenience. Many family-friendly accommodations are close to beaches and attractions, making Vis an ideal base for family explorations.
Traveling solo on Vis is safe and enriching. Locals warmly welcome tourists, and solo travelers can easily connect with others through tours, local events, and friendly social spots. For a smooth trip, ensure you’re aware of ferry schedules and keep travel insurance in place.
Swimming is not permitted in the Blue Cave to preserve its natural beauty, but many tours allow swimming at the Green Cave and Lopud Island’s beaches, where you can relax and enjoy the Adriatic waters.
Bring essentials like swimwear, sunscreen, water, a towel, and a camera to capture the sights. A light jacket or cover-up might be helpful if it gets breezy on the water.
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 🇫🇷
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
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!
Wonderful boat trip I have ever had in my life. Beautiful locations to swim at. Great value for money Recommendation to this tour agency!
Great experience all the time , unfortunately our initial boat got issue but we were re located with amazing people also Thanks Just to be focus on the meeting points at the beginning The our one was wrong Thanks Jennifer
Great and fun trip! Blue cave was an amazing experience. We only visited 3 islands, not 5. I believe that the package mentions snorkeling but there was no snorkeling involved.
Great experience I highly recommend
Our crew were the absolute best!!
Highly recommend! I went with a friend and we really enjoyed it :) The landscape are beautiful.
Great and must have trip when you are in Split, amazing experience and very good tour with helpful guide
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!
Skip the hassle with seamless round-trip boat transfers from Split and explore 5 stunning islands with optional Blue Cave entry.

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
