This 7.5-hour boat tour departs from Hvar and visits several well-known locations in the Adriatic Sea. The group travels by speedboat with a skipper and tour guide, including fuel and life-vests. Bottled water and snorkeling masks are provided. The first stop is Cave Bisevo, known as the Blue Cave, where visitors can see the glowing blue light inside this small sea cave for about 45 minutes. Next, the boat moves to Stiniva Cove, a bay formed by a collapsed sea cave, popular in Europe. Guests can swim here, but the boat cannot dock on the beach. The tour continues with a brief 5-minute stop in front of the Green Cave. Then it visits Budikovac Island, where the central beach is sheltered by two smaller islands, creating a natural turquoise lagoon ideal for swimming and snorkeling for about 30 minutes. Along the way, passengers pass the Paklinski Islands, named after 'paklina,' a pine resin historically used to waterproof boats. The final stop is Palmižana Botanical Garden, where guests have two hours to relax, swim, and enjoy the pine forest surroundings. A lunch break occurs here, but lunch is not included. Entrance tickets to the Blue Cave and Green Cave are not included in the price.
