Loved the variety of stops and the swimming opportunities. The small group (11 of us) was the perfect size. Communication with the tour guide prior to the trip was good. Would highly recommend this great day out

Booking through Headout was easy and confirmation and digital tickets received almost immediately. The packs a lot into one day. Unforunatel due to weather conditions we were unable to visit the Blue Caves however another small island village was substituted. Also due to the weather conditions, the boat ride was rough...but again, not much the boat driver could do. We enjoyed the tour and the places we visited.

Overall good experience. Very good boat and crew. The blue cave experience is overrated and the time to travel for this is not worth it in my opinion. The rest of the day was great, beautiful little beaches, great restaurant in Hvar with amazing view and lovely swim and snorkelling experiences.

Booking of Friday, 02nd August 2024. The different stop for swimming in amazing and breathtaking places. Hvar island, and falling for Marinkovac island (incredible, just wow). We couldn't reach blue cave because of weather, we have been refunded, thanx. The blue lagon is nice but we were a little bit disappointed of dirty island, so many trashes on it. The skipper (I don't remember his name). He was so kind, gave us so many details about places, even the temperature of the sea ahh ;) and really nice to us. Gonna never forget his Croatian accent when he was speaking English ahhh! Thank for this crazy and wonderful day. Kind regards, Candice FOULEAU France 🇫🇷

We had an awsome crew with capten Anthony in carge who was safe and professional so we had a lot of fun in the day even though high waves and rough sea so the Blue Cave closed. But it was false marketing with "drinks included such as water, juice and beer - self service". We got 1 small battle of water... That was bad!

Great and fun trip! Blue cave was an amazing experience. We only visited 3 islands, not 5. I believe that the package mentions snorkeling but there was no snorkeling involved.

Top things to do in Split
Frequently asked questions about Blue Cave Bisevo
How do you get to the Blue Cave on Bisevo Island?
To reach the Blue Cave, you'll need to take a boat tour from islands like Vis, Hvar, or Split. The tours typically include other stops like the Green Cave or Stiniva Bay, making the trip an exciting island-hopping experience.
Is it safe to swim inside the Blue Cave?
Swimming is not allowed inside the Blue Cave to preserve its delicate environment. However, most tours offer other swimming spots nearby, like the Green Cave or secluded bays on nearby islands.
How long should you spend at the Blue Cave?
Most tours offer 15-20 minutes inside the Blue Cave itself, which is enough to admire its stunning blue light effects. However, the overall experience can take several hours if you consider boat transfers and other nearby attractions. A half-day tour is typically ideal, especially if you want to enjoy other nearby spots like Stiniva Cove.
What are the facilities and amenities available at the Blue Cave?
The Blue Cave is located on a small island, so facilities are limited. There are no restrooms or dining options at the cave itself. However, on the nearby island of Vis, you’ll find restaurants, cafes, and restrooms. Be sure to carry essentials like water and snacks, especially if you’re taking a longer tour.
What makes the Blue Cave on Bisevo so unique?
The Blue Cave is famous for the mesmerizing blue light that fills the cave when sunlight reflects off the white seabed. This natural phenomenon creates an otherworldly glow that visitors come from all over the world to witness. The best time to see this effect is around midday when the light is at its strongest.
What are the best times to visit the Blue Cave?
The best time to visit is between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM when the sunlight creates the brightest blue reflection in the cave. Visiting early in the day can also help avoid larger crowds.
What should I wear when visiting the Blue Cave?
Comfortable, light clothing and swimwear are recommended, as many tours also stop at beaches. Don’t forget sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat, as you’ll be on the water for several hours. A light jacket might be useful as it can get chilly on the boat.
Is the Blue Cave accessible for people with mobility challenges?
Unfortunately, the Blue Cave is not very accessible to those with mobility issues. The boats used are typically small, and the entrance to the cave is low, requiring passengers to duck down as they enter.
What are the nearby attractions to visit along with the Blue Cave?
Many tours combine the Blue Cave visit with other stunning locations such as the Green Cave, Stiniva Cove, and Komiza town on Vis island. These stops offer swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing beach time.
How far in advance should I book Blue Cave tickets during peak season?
During the summer months, especially July and August, it's best to book at least a week in advance to ensure availability. Tours can sell out quickly during this time.
