FREE cancellation up to 48 hours before the tour. In case of bad weather, a full refund will be issued.
In Split, most Blue Cave tours include the same popular destinations, such as Stiniva Cove, Blue Lagoon, and Palmizana. Although these destinations are easy to sell, from our experience, the large crowds make them less enjoyable and not really worth your time.
What sets us apart is the unique experience we provide. While the Blue Cave, Milna, and Hvar are fixed stops on our tour, the remaining destinations can be customized based on your group's preferences. Refer to the following sample itinerary for an overview of the tour’s potential highlights:

Journey from Split to the Blue Cave takes approximately 90 minutes, perfectly timed to catch the most intense blue glow inside the cave. Upon arrival, you'll be guided inside by official staff from the Nautical Center Komiža in small boats. You’ll spend about 10 minutes in the cave—just enough to absorb the surreal beauty and take unforgettable photos at the optimal time of day.
Just a short boat ride from the Blue Cave, Komiza is a must-visit stop on your Blue Cave tour from Split. This charming fishermen’s village is known for its locally produced wines and well-preserved architecture, including ancient fortresses and the historic Church of St. Nicholas. It’s perfect for a morning coffee, a first swim, or a stroll through its narrow stone streets.
Instead of stopping at Budikovac’s Blue Lagoon—an overcrowded location packed with visitors—we’ll take you to a secluded bay with equally crystal-clear waters, where you can enjoy privacy, untouched nature, and a relaxed atmosphere. Our years of experience have shown us that this significantly enhances the overall tour experience. We provide snorkeling gear and beach towels.
Milna on Vis Island is a piece of paradise where you'll enjoy lunch at our exclusive private seaside house—off-limits to other companies. Choose from grilled white fish, meat, vegetarian or vegan dishes, plus dessert and drinks. Afterward, relax with a swim at the nearby sandy beach and savor your coffee and ice cream. This is what sets us apart from all other blue cave tours from Split.
Hvar Town is a key stop on every Blue Cave tour from Split. You can explore historic landmarks like Hvar Cathedral and Europe’s oldest public theatre, climb to Fortica Fortress, the best spot for photos, or enjoy local restaurants and boutique shopping. If you’re heading to Hvar, bring your luggage with you and skip losing a day on the ferry — enjoy the tour and arrive directly on the island.
Unlike many low-cost tours that cut corners and surprise you with hidden expenses, we do things differently. From breakfast and lunch to unlimited drinks, entrance tickets, towels, and snorkeling gear — everything is already included. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the most complete Blue Cave tour in Croatia.
Comparing our Blue Cave tour to the others is like comparing first class to economy. Sure, they both leave Split — but from there, everything changes.

Swimming in the Blue Cave has been prohibited since 2014, even though you may have seen pictures of people swimming there from a few years earlier when it was allowed. It's important to note that Blue Cave is a protected area and applying sunscreen or other products may potentially damage the cave's delicate ecosystem. Additionally, the cave attracts a large number of visitors each year, so swimming is no longer allowed.
The Blue Cave is located on the island of Biševo, which is approximately 5 nautical miles southwest of the island of Vis. Split is located on the mainland, about 28 nautical miles northwest of the Blue Cave. Therefore, the total distance from Split to the Blue Cave is about 33 nautical miles. Depending on the speed of the boat and the route taken, the travel time can vary. Generally, it takes about 1.5 to 2 hours by speedboat to reach the Blue Cave from Split.
The Blue Cave is truly a world phenomenon that is a must-see. There is no other cave in the world illuminated by a blue light quite like the Blue Cave in Croatia. There is also a Blue Cave in Italy, but visitors who have seen both say that the one in Croatia is much larger and more attractive.
The tour itself may not be worth it if you only want to visit the Blue Cave and return to Split, simply because the journey takes about an hour and a half, while you spend only 10 to 15 minutes in the cave. However, we designed our tour as a full day at sea, filled with various activities and destinations worth visiting, with the Blue Cave as the crowning jewel of your day with us. So, our answer is: the cave alone may not be worth it, but a tour that includes the cave, Hvar, a delicious lunch, a luxury speedboat ride, and swimming in some of the cleanest seas in the world is definitely worth it.
On average, the tour lasts approximately 10 hours. This includes the time it takes to travel from Split to Biševo Island where the Blue Cave is located, as well as stops at other destinations such as Komiža, Hvar, and swimming locations. It's important to note that the tour duration may be affected by weather and sea conditions.
During the Blue Cave tour, you'll have around 2 hours of free time in Hvar. We recommend climbing up to the Hvar Fortress for breathtaking views of the island and great photo opportunities. The fortress is the best shooting location on the whole island and well worth the climb.
All our boats are equipped with a toilet. Although most of the destinations we visit have accessible free toilets, so there’s generally no need to use the one on the boat, a toilet is still available for your convenience just in case.
The maximum capacity of our boat for the Blue Cave tour is 12 passengers. This ensures a comfortable and personalized experience for everyone on board.
The best way to reach the meeting point for the Blue Cave tour from Split is by taxi or Uber. Just tell the driver "by the Hotel Ambasador," and they will drop you off at our location. If you're arriving by car, please be aware that July and August can be very busy, so it's recommended to get clear instructions about available parking. Our meeting point is in the strict city center, so parking nearby can be quite expensive (approximately €5 per hour). We always recommend parking at the 'Stari plac' parking lot at Ulica Zrinsko Frankopanska 6, 21000, Split, where the rate is approximately €1 per hour. From there, it's a 10-minute walk to our location.
While some companies have low prices, they don't include even Blue Cave tickets, so with them some unexpected costs may arise during the tour. With us, there are no additional costs or hidden fees since we include everything you might need during the day.
Our cancellation policy allows for free cancellation up to 48 hours before the tour. However, if you cancel within 48 hours of the tour, we are unable to provide a refund of your booking deposit.
Great question! Here are some items that we recommend you bring with you on the Blue Cave tour:
1. Comfortable clothing and footwear: Dress for the weather and bring comfortable shoes for walking around on the islands.
2. Swimwear: You'll have plenty of opportunities to swim, so be sure to bring your swimsuit (we provide towels).
3. Sunscreen and sunglasses: Protect yourself from the strong Mediterranean sun with sunscreen and sunglasses.
4. Camera: Don't forget to bring a camera to capture all of the stunning views and beautiful moments during the tour.
5. A small amount of cash for souvenirs and gratuities.
Remember to pack light as there will be limited space on the boat for your personal items.
There is safety equipment on board that you can use as an aid for swimming. You can always stay on the boat, enjoying music, sunbathing, sipping drinks, and taking in the natural beauty of the surroundings. Additionally, not all destinations are intended for swimming, but if you wish to take a dip, there is equipment available on the boat for non-swimmers.
The Blue Cave tour can be cancelled due to bad weather conditions or high waves, which can make the tour unsafe or impossible to operate. In some cases, the tour may also be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances or technical issues with the boat. If the tour is cancelled, you will be notified as soon as possible, and you will have the option to reschedule or receive a full refund.
