This small-group boat tour lasts about 10 hours and covers several key Adriatic Sea locations near Split and Trogir. The tour begins with a speedboat ride to Biševo Island to visit the Blue Cave, where guests transfer to a small fishing boat to enter the cave and see the natural blue light effect caused by sunlight reflecting off the white sand. After the cave visit, the boat heads to Komiža, a fishing village on Vis Island, where guests can explore the traditional stone houses and seaside streets. Next, the tour passes the Stupišće Military Base, a former secret Yugoslav rocket facility on Vis Island, visible from the coast, followed by a cruise past the limestone caves of Vis that have been shaped by sea and wind erosion. The group then stops at Stiniva Bay for swimming and relaxing on the beach beneath high cliffs. Afterward, the boat moves to the Blue Lagoon near Budikovac Island, a good spot for snorkeling with provided gear. The second half of the day includes a short stop at the Pakleni Islands near Hvar, a chain of small wooded islets with clear waters and secluded bays. The tour ends with two hours in the town of Hvar, where guests can visit cultural sites and the Fortica fortress, which offers views of the town often called "the Croatian St. Tropez." The return boat ride goes from Hvar to Split. The tour includes bottled water, snorkeling equipment, transport on a spacious speedboat, insurance, fuel surcharge, and an English-speaking captain and crew. Entrance fees, including the Blue Cave ticket, are not included and must be paid in cash at the meeting point.
