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!
Awesome experience. Guides were great. Really didn't know how to expect, but was a highlight of the trip.
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!
All arround it was just an amazing experience. The stops were wonderfull and de guides were really fun and friendly. I would defenitely recommend this tour if you are in Hvar.
Good amount of stops and time at the different stops. Good amount of people on the tour. We both had a captain and a tour guide which was nice.
I’d book again and recommend.Luca nd Mario were our crew for the day and they ensured we all had a great day out- including our two boys 7 and 9 years. They were flexible with the route to ensure we made it to the blue caves before they closed for the day and then took us to several amazing spots for swimming/ snorkelling/ diving and food. Luca was a really capable helmsman and made sure we all had fun- we had a great day out and the boat itself was brilliant with seating and sun deck out back!
We had a great day on the water. Beautiful areas to take short swims, blue cave was worth the price of entry and the crew was very friendly. We packed snacks on the boat and were very happy that we did!
This was an absolutely amazing sailing tour! We recommend this one highly with this company. The guides were very fun and friendly and knowledgeable. They made some recommendations during our stops and kept us on schedule so much so that we were able to make a really cool "secret" stop they don't usually have time to make.
Great whole day boating experience exploring the islands and highlights around Hvar with our great Capt Chala! He was insightful about the history and geologic details of our destinations; our ride was smooth sailing and had great beats so we really enjoyed being on his boat. The only change I would suggest is spending less time in the end at the Pakleni Island beach club (loud and expensive) and more time at the awesome natural phenomenon of the Stivina Beach.
This boat trip was absolutely amazing and well worth the cost. The Blue Cave was truly outstanding, and I highly recommend paying the extra fee to visit it. The skippers were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and fun, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The boat itself was very comfortable, with plenty of space to relax throughout the journey. I would suggest bringing some snacks, especially if you’re planning a full day on the water. The scenery was breathtaking, with crystal-clear blue waters everywhere we went. Overall, it was a perfect day and an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting the area.
Loved the boat speed, but that makes it feel bumpy. Great choices and times for stops. Blue cave was worth it!
Great day on the water! Blue cave is as amazing as it looks in pictures! We stopped at some of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen. We had lunch at an adorable little island town. Our captain, Luka, was the best!
Our day in the water seeing the various islands and swimming in the blue water was awesome. Our captains were very informative and courteous! They showed us some of the out of the way places and structure. We weren’t able to see the blue cave due to high tide. Next time maybe. Highly recommend!!
Great tour but not all inclusive. The guides were awesome. The boat ride is bumpy but we did not get sea sick as they were moving fast. The Blue Cave is gorgeous.
Fabulous day on the water! We loved snorkeling in the crystal clear waters, going into the Blue Cave and visiting a few small islands. Our driver/tour operators were very knowledgeable and so welcoming. I will say the seas are pretty choppy at times and you bounce around a lot, but they do warn this before hand.
Fantastic day! Speedboat was amazing! Got to experience several items, great swim spots! The Blue Cave is not to be missed!! Our crew was fantastic!! Highly recommend!!
Beautiful day island hopping off Hvar! The boat was nice and the assistant Dora was so sweet. We didn’t do the green cave but the blue cave was totally worth it. Really convenient pickup point! It would be nice if they advertised an ability to bring your own drinks and snacks but we were able to purchase them on our own at some of the stops
The Skipper Andrea were amazing but we could’nt go to the Blue Cave though is were closed. We got that information close to the stop and I guess the agency already know about the closure when we get off. We tried to get our money back but they can’t do that the say. The stop at the blue cave was that stop we where looking forward to the most because we were celebrating our second wedding anniversary at that day. At least they could have give us half the money back or give us a replacement.
no need to read the other reviews. JUST BOOK IT! We were worried that with 12 people the boat would feel constricting. NOPE- We felt like we were on it alone!! It was perfect! The itenary, stops, time, music selection- everything was amazing. Thank you!!
Really good tour. We had a very good skipper,Adria, that show us really good spots and expalines ans suggestwd us what to do.
A great time with great people and skipper, great locations to swim and eat at, really made the most of the day trip.
Boat captain had a bad attitude. Go with another company. Ask any question and he rolls his eyes and acts annoyed. It was uncomfortable for many on board and ruined the experience. The islands and places we visited we’re uneventful and boring with no thought into creating a lasting memory.
We love dour day on the water with Luca, our boat captain. He was an amazing driver and tour director. He answered our many questions and curated the tour to our specific interests. While the Blue Cave was unfortunately closed, he took us to a small harbor instead for non-tourist, authentic Croation lunch stop. Really great day of snorkeling, swimming and exploring the caves.
We had so much fun on our trip! Our guide was a clear expert but also fun and relaxed. I would recommend everyone going on this trip bring some snacks and drinks (they have a cooler). Water shoes are also helpful for one particular beach.
Had an amazing time, there were four swimming locations, in addition to the Blue Cave (bit of long wait time, and a bit pricey) and a stop on the island of Vis. My only recommendation is maybe slowing it down to just 3 swims. Sometimes quality is better than quantity :)
We did a speed boat tour to the islands near Hvar, it was a great experience. The blue cave was closed for that day, but the guide « Andrea » took us to great beaches and took time to listen to everyone’s needs and acted upon them. Great guide great tour we really enjoyed it
Luca and Dora were perfect. This was the best day of our trip so far. The boat was stunning. The views were beautiful. This tour is the perfect day! HIGHLY recommend
Fantastic experience - the blue cave exceeded our expectations and the captain and his mate were wonderful. The boating prowess of the captains of the smaller boats are impressive as was our own tour crew👍
Fantastic time. The guides were so friendly and very knowledgeable. It was truly a wonderful day on the water. The blue caves were 100% worth it
Great views and amazing water! However, the boat was too cramped for 12 people and there were not enough snorkelling masks for everyone.
5 Star experience from start to finish with Captain Luca and Dora! We booked this two days before without reading the reviews. The night before I looked into what was included and also read some reviews and was a bit worried about what we were getting into. We arrived for our 10:30 departure and were placed with Luca and Dora and a total of 12 passengers, all of whom turned out to be a mix of awesome people! Luca and Dora were a great team and clearly cared about their passengers having a great experience. The first stop was the Blue Cave which was a fantastic experience. At first I didn’t understand why they didn’t bake the cost of the Blue Cave tour into the price but given the Blue Cave tour is run through the government and the way they sell and board boats there, it absolutely makes sense. You do have the option to not spend the extra money on that stop but highly recommend doing so. From there he asked the group if we wanted to get lunch in Vis with a lot of great restaurant options or wait until later in the tour to stop at Palmizana for lunch where options are slim. We all agreed to have lunch as our next stop. Some folks brought their own food and ate it at the beach in Komiza (in Vis) while others explored the town or grabbed lunch at one of the many restaurant choices. Luca came through again and suggested Dal Mar restaurant and we had one of the best meals (if not the best) of our trip. We got the Sea Bream and potatoes and spinach, so good. It was also far cheaper than Hvar. From there we went to a variety of other beaches and got to swim and snorkel, all of which were great. I’m guessing this experience really depends on your captain and Luca and Dora made sure it was an excursion to remember!!
Great tour! We visited 3 beaches for swimming, the beautiful blue cave, and a lunch stop in Vis. Because we didn’t have to wait long for the Blue Cave, we had a great lunch stop in Vis, which had many affordable options. We honestly did not like the stop in Palmizana, which had many overpriced touristy bars, and we would have preferred a stop at another beach, but we still enjoyed the trip overall.
We had a lovely time, the hosts (Luka & Luka) were friendly and knowledgeable. The boat was perfect, lots of room and everyone had shade if they wanted it. Stopped at a couple of beautiful swimming spots along the way, and the blue cave was stunning. We’d highly recommend packing your own lunch, the island we stopped at for lunch was expensive and only takes cash.
This is a must do trip! The organisation was perfect. They grouped the older clients together on the more comfortable boat, all ladies together too. The boat had lots of seating and sunbathing areas. The caves were spectacular!! Lunch on the Plakeni islands was special and new friends were made! The sea was like a mill pond so all in all a perfect day out! Thank you!
Great fun! Met some very fun women that enhanced the party! Blue and green cave were definitely worth the experience!!
The trip overall was good, especially Blue Cave (beautiful!), Stinivia Cove, and snorkeling/swimming. When we stopped for lunch, however, our guide led us to the other side of the harbor in Vis to dine at Jastožera Restaurant (Mamma Mia), which was lovely but took a loooonnnggg time for lunch. Some of us would rather have been strolling around Vis a bit or back out on the water. In retrospect, I would have broken off from the group, gotten something quicker for lunch, and had time to walk around Vis while the others ate a leisurely lunch. Because of the lengthy lunch break, Green Cave was closed when we arrived and we had only 15 minutes at Palmižana (no time to swim or snorkel there, or even enjoy a cocktail). So the trip was good but not great. Note that the trip was in a Zodiac boat with a small canopy over the rear. Only 4 people were in the shaded area and the remainder were in the bright sun for the entire day. So bring lots of sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water.
We had a great time! They were filming a movie in the blue cave so they changed our itinerary a little so that we could go to the cave later in the day. We couldn’t swim at Stiniva cove because of jelly fish, but we got to observe them up close and it was so cool - more exciting than swimming! We had a good lunch in Vis, snorkled around the blue lagoon, and then made it to the blue cave - and that alone made the whole day worth it!
It was a bigger boat than we expected so the ride was more comfortable. Being covered also was a plus as we preferred not to be in the sun. The captain and assistant were fun and funny and saying to us for entertainment. They made the trip, especially pleasant. Maybe turn down the radio, just a little and a little less rap for my taste. We never felt rushed and everything we expected to be able to do we did. The blue and the green caves were really really lovely and an experience that we’re happy we were able to enjoy while we were here.
Excellent tour. Blue cave was fantastic. The vessel was comfortable and spacious. There is some time between destinations but enjoyed the time on the water.
We had to wait an extra day to do this tour due to high todes the blue cave was closed. So today we got to do it!!! It's the best boat tour I've ever done. There was a chance we might not have seen the blue cave as it was closed when we left hvar but after many stops our skipper told us it had just opened. We were so happy with the tour prior to this as we saw the blue lagoon the green cave stopped swimming stopped at many islands but to be told the blue cave was open it really topped off our tour. The boat only takes 12 so it's a lovely small group. The skipper Antonio and Marco are very informative and helpful. They made the tour more enjoyable. If in hvar you HAVE TO DO THIS TOUR! If the blue cave is closed you are only told on your arrival to the meeting point but this is not the tour operators fault they have to get clearance from the blue cave geo park to say they are letting boats o.to the blue cave. The tour operators are at their mercy. High tides and rise in sea level cannot be controlled. I highly recommend if in hvar do this tour!
Amazing could not recommend enough. Pay a little extra for a nice boat with a limit of 12 pple best decision.
I usually dont leave reviews but i had an amazing time. Rocco was the best. We had so much fun. It was my birthday and rocco went above abd beyond and made it very special. Deff reccomend
koki is amazing tour guide i would definitely recommend him if you ever decide to go this tour. He will show you around everywhere we had a blast with him & if you have spare time he will even show you additional spots that you can see. Best guy i would definitely recommend him!
Roko is a fantastic Skipper, very humble, experienced, polite, drives the boat calmly. I highly recommend him and will definitely go on another tour with him on my next visit to Hvar.
Just had an amazing boat tour in Hvar with Roko as our guide. He was super knowledgeable and made the trip unforgettable with his great stories and tips. The views were stunning, and we had plenty of time to swim and explore. Highly recommend this tour with Roko!!!
We had a great day, skipper and the tour gide where perfect, the boat and the locations where so nice. I recomend this tour for everyone.
The crew was fantastic and very friendly! The boats are well sized for the number of people that they allow onboard, so there is plenty of room to be comfortable. When in Hvar, we strongly recommend this outfit!
