Each stop offers time for swimming, snorkeling, sightseeing, and relaxing at your own pace while enjoying the beauty of the Adriatic.

First Stop: Blue Cave, Bisevo (sightseeing)

The first highlight of this private Blue Cave tour from Split is the world-famous Blue Cave, located on the island of Biševo. Known as one of the most remarkable natural attractions in Croatia, the cave is famous for its glowing blue light effect, created as sunlight passes through the underwater entrance and reflects across the interior. Tickets for the cave are not included in the price.

Second Stop: Stiniva Beach (swimming)

Stiniva is a beautiful natural bay on the island of Vis, known for its tall surrounding cliffs and narrow sea entrance that opens into a small pebble beach. It’s one of the most recognizable spots on Vis and a highlight of any Blue Cave and Vis island tour from Split. Here, you can swim in clear turquoise water, snorkel along the rocky sides of the bay, or simply relax on the boat and take in the scenery. Visiting by private speedboat allows you to enjoy the area comfortably and at your own pace.

We can provide personalized recommendations, arrange reservations, and adjust the lunch timing to fit your private boat tour schedule. Local restaurants are renowned for fresh seafood, while also offering a variety of Mediterranean and classic dishes to suit every taste.

Fifth Stop: Hvar Old Town (sightseeing stop)

The historic Hvar Town, the main town on the island of Hvar (also known as party island), one of Croatia’s most popular destinations. The town is renowned for its Venetian architecture, charming cobblestone streets, and vibrant waterfront promenade. For breathtaking views, you can climb to the iconic Hvar Fortress (Fortica), perched above the town, offering panoramic vistas of Hvar Town, the Adriatic, and the nearby Pakleni Islands.
