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.

Great guides!! Saved us some money for the green cave!
Martina and the skipper were both very friendly. The boat was pretty and clean . They had a cool box you could put anything that you had in. There was water too. They had floaties and snorkels. It was just amazing
Nice music and great boat, went to a lot of places and it was worth the price. I really liked the tour
Overall pretty good day. The captain was pretty good. The food recommendation during lunch time right in front of the boat docking was bad bad tourist trap. Our captain recommended and applied our afternoon fooding experience. Highlight of the day was Stiniva and Blue cave. Must go swim towards the Stiniva Beach entrance. Blue cave was pricy. Our captain did not take us to the final stop. We parked near the beach and enjoyed swimming dircectly in the Adriatic Sea avoiding ricks and stones. The trip can be tuned a bit. 12 people too many on the boat. Should be max 8 people. We did have fun with other guests.
Luca was a great boat captain. He told us a bit about the various stops. Including his favorite places. He was an excellent captain putting us into tight spots with the boat with apparent ease.
Well organised, good crew and a nice boat with plenty of space. The Blue Cave is incredible and the islands and bays we visited were beautifu.
