Bring a towel and snacks for a great day. The blue cave is a unique experience worth the visit. We loved swimming and snorkeling as well.

Itinerary
BLUE CAVE is like a cover- story, simply cannot be put into words, you have to see it to believe it exists. Small water-logged sea cave is one of the best natural beauty spots on the Adriatic and a popular show cave because of the glowing blue light that apears there arround mid-day. Look for the cave's heart on the ceiling.
Between the caves, you will also see amazing bays. Most popular one in Europe, STINIVA, a unique example of what happens when a sea cave collapses. Due to the popularity of the bay, it is not possible to dock with the boat on the beach, but you can simply swim in.
We stop in front of cave.
The central beach of Budikovac island is well protected by two small islands. The beach and the islands together form a beautiful natural turquoise lagoon, a perfect place to swim, snorkel and enjoy in the summer activities.
The name Paklinski Otoci is often translated as Hell or Hells’ islands but it is actually derived from paklina, an archaic name for a kind of a pine resin used to waterproof boats that was once harvested on the Pakleni archipelago.
Crystal clear sea and dense pine forest are not the only motivation to head there, but also the popular Palmizana and the bay Vinogradisce on its southern side that hide the best for all-day chilling, swimming and enjoying. Lunch brake.

Captain & mate did a tremendous job. Delay at Blue cave small bump but still made all stops and had a great day.
Boat was a bit choppy but if you sit in the back it is much more smooth. Blue cave is expensive but a must do activity. We skipped the green cave. Loved all the swimming spots. Not many fish to see when snorkeling
Definitely do this tour! Each island is unique. The Blue Cave for sure was my favorite! Our captain Luca and skipper Mario were awesome! Just as a warning, waters can be a little choppy, causing the boat to jump in the water. Avoid if you get sea sick easily or sit towards the rear. I personally enjoyed the exciting ride! Plenty of time was given for free exploration, swimming, eating, etc. Book this tour!
Good overall experience. Unfortunately, we were not able to visit the various planned caves nor the island of Vis due to the wind. We were therefore somewhat disappointed, especially since some neighboring companies were going there anyway. A second itinerary was then proposed to us, accompanied by a discount, which we accepted. The beaches offered were very beautiful, but the recommended restaurants and wine cellars seemed a bit too touristy to us, or even sometimes close to tourist traps. Despite an atmosphere on board somewhat marred by these disappointments, we still enjoyed the excursion as a whole.
The boat was spacious for 12 people and handled well in the water. The boatman drove well - we caught a few great waves, but it wasn't too rough. We didn't like the Blue Cave; too crowded, too expensive, too small. The blue light is pretty, but by no means worth 50 euros for two people. The stops were pretty and you usually had enough time. It was a shame that only a limited number of masks and snorkels were included. Mario explained that they often get stolen, but that cannot be the paying guests' problem. When we got masks at the second spot, they were unfortunately leaky. The food stop was a bit too long if you didn't want to eat at the suggested restaurant. On the other hand, the stop at Totos Beach was too short; it was just enough for a quick cocktail. Overall, we are satisfied.
Awesome experience. Guides were great. Really didn't know how to expect, but was a highlight of the trip.
The speedboat was beautiful, clean, and very spacious even though there were 12 of us participants. Thank you Luka and Mario, captain and guide of the experience! They let us know and see the beauties of their islands as if we were locals. Luka is also an expert guide and it shows, he entertained the passengers with his turns. We were also lucky enough to have an extra stop because of the time available, complete with lunch in Komiza.
We had an exceptional day thanks to Yvan and Frane who guided us to sublime places. They were attentive and took great care to ensure everything went perfectly.
Absolutely amazing! Mario and Luca were so much fun. Let everyone choose music and decide between green or blue cave (we went blue). Music and vibes were so high!
