Itinerary
10:30 in front of our tourist agency Navis Tours Hvar in the main port. After meeting we are heading out to our first stop
Swim in Green Cave- Island of Ravnik - The emerald green color comes from the sun reflecting on the stones covered with seaweed at the bottom of the cave. You can choose to buy ticket and to enter the cave by swimming.
Stop at the hidden lagoon, where you can enjoy swimming among the breath-taking cliffs of the lagoon. Stiniva is the most beautiful beach in Europe for 2016. We will anchor the boat near the entrance and you can enter Stiniva by swimming (20 m) or with a small rubber boat. Stiniva is great for swimming, snorkelling and sunbathing, or if you prefer you can have a drink and relax at the beach bar. Furthermore, a part of Mamma Mia 2 was filmed in Stiniva Bay.
After reaching Biševo (Blue Cave island) we will disembark from our speedboat and skipper will show you where to buy tickets for entering in Blue Cave. The Blue Cave’s shuttlecraft will take you directly inside. In the cave you will spend about 15 minutes and you are allowed to take pictures and videos to capture the phenomenon of blue reflecting sea and silver shine on the other objects.
Budikovac Island is called Blue lagoon and is protected from winds by smaller islands Mali Budikovac and Sanak located just outside the main beach. There is a beautiful pebble beach in the lagoon. Turquoise colour and clearness of the sea makes this place unique!
We will take you to the famous bay of Vinogradišce or Palmižana where you can enjoy swimming and sunbathing. You will have time for lunch in one of great restaurants (Zori, Toto's, Bacchus..)or to have some cocktails in popular Laganini beach bar.

This experience was not as expected at all. Maybe I didn’t do enough of my own research. But it was a lot of time on a boat, and the boat was not very comfortable. Not that I’m this type of person, but we didn’t follow the itinerary at all. We didn’t get into the water until almost 3 1/2 hours into the tour! Which wasn’t what the itinerary said would happen and by that time we were all so hot and uncomfortable. In addition, the skipper did not explain where we were going or where we were. We would arrive someplace, they would drop us off or tell us to swim, and tell us when to be back so I never knew what to expect. The guides did not answer any questions properly and didn’t engage with the guests. They didn’t really seem to know what was going on and their timing was off. If you are looking for a fun day on a boat and to see the islands, I would not recommend this tour. I am giving it 2 stars because being on the Adriatic sea is absolutely stunning so you can’t fault that!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. During the peak season, waiting times for the Blue Cave can sometimes be much longer than expected, as access is managed by the official Blue Cave authorities and is the same for all tour operators. Unfortunately, this is something we are unable to influence, and it can occasionally affect the timing and order of the itinerary. We’re also sorry if the communication from our crew did not meet your expectations. Your comments are valuable to us, and we will share them with our team as we continuously work to improve our guests’ experience. We’re pleased to hear that you still found the Adriatic Sea beautiful, and we truly appreciate your honest feedback. We wish you all the best and hope you enjoy the rest of your travels.
All the bits of the tour were brilliant especially our tour guide and swimming spots. Unfortunetly found the restaurant too expensive and didnt think the blue cave is worth 24 €
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour, especially the swimming stops and your skipper. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the restaurant and the Blue Cave entrance fee. Blue Cave ticket fee is set by the official Blue Cave management and is the same for all visitors, regardless of the tour operator. Thank you for choosing Navis Tours Hvar. We’re glad you had a great day overall, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!
We had an amazing time with Nikolai and the other guests, so much so that we spent the rest of the night out with them. Nikolai was a great boat driver, giving us local knowledge and making sure we had the best time possible. The boat was not what we were imagining (you sit front ways straddling the seat), but it was ultimately comfortable and didn’t detract from the trip. Sit in the back if you’re older or have trouble with mobility. Bring cash and a dry bag that you can swim with - one of the stops has a bar that you need to swim to.
What a fantastic review—thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so happy to hear that you had such a great day with Nikola and the rest of the group, and it’s wonderful that the fun continued even after the tour. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Nikola—he’ll be delighted to hear them. Thank you as well for sharing your helpful tips with future guests. We’re glad you enjoyed the adventure, the local insights, and all the beautiful stops along the way. We hope to welcome you back to Hvar for another unforgettable Blue Cave Boat Tour!
A nice experience, unfortunately we could not go to the blue cave due to high tide.

This was easily one of the best excursions we've ever been on! The captain was incredibly friendly and made sure we saw everything—and even a little more. The trip never felt rushed, and he went out of his way to make it a memorable experience for everyone on board. One of the highlights was meeting some great people and making new friends along the way. The captain also recommended an excellent local place to eat, which turned out to be fantastic. If you're considering this boat trip, don't hesitate—you won't regret it!

We missed our blue cave due to high waves, and the team provided with alternative plan, which would be near the shores and not in deep ocean. Since we had one day we selected to go with it rather than cancellation. It was a good decision we made. The skipper was very helpful and nice. One of the perks was the skipper didnt take to tourist trap restaurants.
Thank you so much for your kind review and for your understanding. Unfortunately, the Blue Cave is sometimes closed due to sea conditions, and safety is always our top priority.

It’s wonderful to hear that our skipper took good care of you and showed you beautiful places away from the typical tourist crowds. Thank you for choosing Navis Tours Hvar, and we hope to welcome you back so you can experience the Blue Cave on your next visit!
Our group of six booked the Blue Cave tour with Navis Tours, but due to rough sea conditions, the Blue Cave was closed on the day of our trip. We were disappointed, but Dora from Navis Tours quickly rearranged our itinerary to make sure we still had an incredible experience. Her professionalism and commitment to customer satisfaction were exceptional. She introduced us to our skipper, Branimir, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and truly outstanding. He made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip, kept the kids entertained, and even went above and beyond to retrieve a hat that had blown into the sea. His kindness and experience made the entire day unforgettable. Although we missed the Blue Cave, this turned out to be one of the best experiences of our vacation. Dora and Branimir transformed our disappointment into a day filled with amazing memories that we'll cherish forever. I highly recommend Navis Tours to anyone visiting Hvar. Thank you, Dora and Branimir, for making our trip so special—you made our vacation unforgettable!

We’ll be sure to share your compliments with them—they are passionate about creating unforgettable experiences, and they will be thrilled to know they made such a positive impact on your family's holiday.
