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.

Best Boat Trip in Hvar
Amazing day on the water. We always say”boat days are the best days” but this boat trip took that saying to a whole new level. The boat was incredible (very comfortable & stable), Joseph and Anna (the crew) were wonderful. They were attentive without being overbearing & you could tell they were experienced and had our safety in mind at all times (unlike a few other boats that we saw throughout the day). I recommended this trip to many people during our stay in Hvar. The water was WOW! WOW! WOW! Each stop was better than the last. Book this trip & request Joseph & Anna. You won’t be disappointed. 10 Stars!!!⭐️

You can have a refreshing day.
The skipper Ivan was kind.
I also went to the Blue Grotto and had a breathtaking experience.
It felt so good sailing across the blue sea cutting through the wind along the way 😊
In the small group tour, everyone was friendly, and I felt no anxiety even when swimming with my cell phone in the boat.
However, when I arrived at the beach I was aiming for, the sun was setting, and it was a shame because it was in shadow.
It would be nice if the departure time was a little earlier.
They said they would lend us snorkeling gear, but there were no mouthpieces, only goggles 😢

Long lunch, missed blue & green caves
When we arrived to the ticket office to check-in, the lady informed us the blue cave would be closed due to winds & waves. She said she would cancel our tour on Viator and we would have to rebuy for a cheaper price directly with her. We paid 80EUR instead, but missed the blue cave AND the green cave. All the other islands are beautiful. I think the lunch stop was waaaay too long, we were on that island for 2hrs 15min. I think that could have been 1hr for lunch and the other hour to visit another island instead.
Luca our captain was great, very sweet and helpful. He explained history about each island. Our group was alot of fun.

Blue Cave Excursion Hvar Croatia
Great excursion to the Blue cave. Very unique phenomenon. Expect long wait time but worth it. Swimming in the Adreatic sea was very nice. We went by the green cave but our group decided to forgo the swimming inside for 12 euro. We stopped at another beach for a longer lunch break then final swim before heading back. Our skipper Luka was awesome and my other companion Buoy was mostly chilling during the entire trip. Two 👍👍. Thanks Luka and Hvar boats

Amazing time!
Incredible! Even though we unfortunately got a day that they closed the blue cave due to the ocean’s conditions, we made the day out of it and went to a bunch of beautiful stops! Definitely worth it! Our captain Pasko and our skipper were super fun and took us to amazing spots!!
