Blue Cave and Pakleni Islands group Tour from Hvar
Description
We’ll meet by the sea in Hvar and hop on a sleek speedboat with a small group and your local skipper. First stop: the Green Cave, where you can swim beneath a beam of sunlight shining through the ceiling — a peaceful, surreal experience. Next is Stiniva Cove, a hidden beach surrounded by cliffs. Whether you snorkel or float in the calm water, it’s a place to slow down and soak it all in. Then comes the magical Blue Cave on Biševo. Entering by small boat, you'll see the cave glowing in vivid blue — one of Croatia’s most breathtaking sights. After that, we’ll visit a natural spot — a hidden bay or beach — chosen with your skipper based on the weather, season, and group’s vibe. It might be Komiža, Vis, Seal Monk’s Cave, Stončica, or a Pakleni Islands — always the best place for that day. We’ll wrap up at Palmižana, where you can swim, unwind, or enjoy lunch by the sea. On the ride back to Hvar, the sun begins to set — the perfect end to a day full of beauty, fun, and memories.

Anton was a wonderful guide. His knowledge about the islands, beaches, and sights was so helpful - we managed to avoid crowds and still go to amazing spots. My family and I had the best day and would absolutely request Anton again.
Great experience - best day we had in Hvar. So many beautiful swimming spots and loads of time 😍 thanks to Antun!
Stunning place to visit. However, stops were missed and tour guide was cheeky and pushy, we weren’t very impressed.
We had a great time getting to see the other islands. Ivan L was so great at explaining where we were and being clear about what to expect and how long we would be there. Price was reasonable for the entire day experience.
The handsome Ivan (Ivan L.) was great. Professional, fun, and had a contagious chill energy. Great trip!
This was an incredible trip with multiple stops. We loved our skipper Marko. Very well organized and the caves are a do not miss Prepare to be out for 8 hours on a very small fast boat.
Recommend this tour for anyone visiting Hvar! The boat takes you to various islands to swim and the Blue Cave and Blue Lagoon. Our tour guide, Ivan, was kind and informative. The boat ride is very choppy however so be wary if you get motion sickness easily. The entire excursion is about 8 hours so it is worth the money though the Blue Cave is not included and is €24 and lasts about 15 minutes of the entire experience. We did not end up paying for the Green Cave as there are plenty of other swimming opportunities. Overall, great way to spend the day.
Ivan L was a great guide and really informed person about every place we went
It was a nice and overall wonderful trip! :)
Unreal day exploring. Very enjoyable and the guide Ivan L was super. Thanks for a great day!
