Private Speedboat Tour to Blue Cave from Trogir: 11 hours

Eleven hours at sea: the Blue Cave when the sun hits it right, then two island towns

An 11-hour private speedboat tour from Trogir to the Blue Cave on Biševo Island, the islands of Vis and Hvar, with an English-speaking skipper, snorkeling equipment and fuel included. You swim inside the cave when sunlight bounces off the seabed and floods it with iridescent blue light, take a one-hour swim break near Komiža, cruise past Stiniva Bay for photos, and finish in Hvar Town. The Blue Cave entrance fee is separate. Food and drink are not included.

Blue Cave and Island Exploration

• Visit Blue Cave on Biševo Island
• Explore Komiža coastal town
• Swim in bay near Komiža
• Cruise by Stiniva Bay
• Sightsee and lunch in Hvar Town

The experience

Eleven hours means you leave early and return late, but the timing is built around the Blue Cave itself. The cave's glow depends on the sun's angle: around midday, light streams through an underwater opening, bounces off white sand and turns the water deep aquamarine. Anything submerged looks silver. You can't see that from a tour boat passing by. You swim inside it. The speedboat is yours alone, with room for your small group or family, and the skipper speaks English and knows the route.

After the cave, you stop for a one-hour swim in a bay near Komiža, a fishing town on Vis's western shore with a long maritime history. Then the boat cruises past Stiniva Bay (a narrow cove cut into eastern cliffs), where the light and the rock formations make it worth the camera work. The day ends in Hvar Town, where you can walk the Venetian-era harbor and the old streets, or sit down for lunch on your own time.

Snorkeling gear is on board. Fuel is covered. The Blue Cave entrance fee is not, and you'll want to budget for food and drink ashore. The boat ride itself is fast and open to the sea, so moderate fitness and comfort in the water matter. Pregnant travelers and anyone with spinal or heart concerns should check with a doctor first.

What’s included

• Snorkeling equipment and use of it throughout the day.
• English-speaking professional skipper.
• fuel surcharge.
• a comfortable speedboat reserved for your small group or family.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What is the Blue Cave actually like when you swim inside it?

The Blue Cave on Biševo Island glows iridescent blue when sunlight streams through an underwater opening and bounces off the white sandy seabed. The water turns deep aquamarine and anything submerged appears silver, as if lit by moonlight. You see this only around midday when the sun's angle is right, and only by swimming inside the cave itself.

How much time do you spend swimming during the 11 hours?

You get a dedicated one-hour swim break in a bay near Komiža on the island of Vis. The time in the Blue Cave itself is separate. You swim inside the cave when the boat enters, though the exact duration depends on conditions and how long you want to stay underwater with snorkeling gear.

What towns do you visit, and how much time is there to walk around?

You stop in Komiža, a charming fishing town on Vis, where you swim. Later you reach Hvar Town on the island of Hvar, where you can stroll through the streets and harbor with Venetian-era architecture, or grab lunch. The itinerary doesn't fix how long you stay ashore in Hvar. That's your choice.

Is the boat private, and who else will be on it?

The speedboat is private for your group or family. No strangers join. It's booked for your party alone, with an English-speaking professional skipper.

What's included, and what do I need to pay for separately?

Snorkeling equipment, fuel, and the skipper are included. The Blue Cave entrance fee is not included and is paid separately. Food and drink are also not included, so budget for meals and drinks ashore.
