Four Islands and Two Caves in One Speedboat Day

A 7-hour speedboat tour from Hvar Town visits the Blue Cave, Green Cave, Stiniva Beach, Budikovac Island and the Pakleni Islands with snorkeling equipment and an English-speaking guide included. The boat departs Hvar Town and returns there the same day; you swim and snorkel at each stop, entering sea caves lit by reflected sunlight and exploring turquoise lagoons. Bottled water is provided; food and drinks are not.

The Experience

The speedboat leaves Hvar Town and heads across the Adriatic to the Blue Cave first — a sea cave on the island of Biševo where sunlight enters through a natural opening in the roof, reflects off the seabed and fills the space with a hypnotizing silver-blue light. You swim inside to see it. From there the boat moves to the Green Cave on Ravnik, formed by wave erosion with two entrances and an opening at the top; light reflecting off the sea bottom paints the cave walls green. Both are the kind of place you cannot reach without a boat, and both sit on the itinerary before the day gets crowded.

Stiniva Beach on Vis Island is next — a secluded turquoise cove with pebbly shores and cliffs rising around it, rated Europe's Best Beach in 2019. You swim here and have time to explore the narrow inlet. Then comes Budikovac Island, where the lagoon shifts between shades of turquoise as the sun moves; the water is clear enough for underwater photography. The Pakleni Islands close the day — a chain of wooded isles immediately in front of Hvar Town with hidden beaches and deserted lagoons like Palmižana and Mlini. Snorkeling gear is included at every stop, and the guide is with you the whole time.

Seven hours on the water means an early start and a full day. The speedboat is the transport and the access — without it, these caves and islands stay out of reach. Bring a towel and sunscreen; water is provided.

Is this one for you?The tour runs for 7 hours on the water with swimming at every stop, so it suits travelers comfortable with a full day of boat time and multiple water entries. If you want to see sea caves and island lagoons but do not want to rent your own boat or navigate the Adriatic yourself, the guide and the fixed itinerary handle both.
