An In-Depth Look at the Experience

The Itinerary and Its Highlights

This tour begins at the Port of Hvar, a bustling gateway to some of Croatia’s most captivating islands. The beauty of a private tour is the flexibility—your skipper is there to craft a day that suits your interests and pace. This means you won’t be stuck with a rigid schedule, and you can linger where you please.

The first stop is Budikovac Island, famed for its crystal-clear waters and peaceful setting. Here, you’ll have the chance to swim or snorkel in the inviting blue sea, exploring underwater life with your masks and snorkels. The calm, shallow waters and secluded location make it an ideal start—perfect to shake off travel fatigue and get into the relaxed Dalmatian rhythm.

Next, you’ll head to Ravnik Island, home to the Green Cave. Unlike the more famous Blue Cave, the Green Cave offers a different perspective—inside, the water glows with a greenish hue thanks to sunlight filtering through the cave’s opening. You can choose to swim into the cave or enjoy a boat ride inside. The tour’s flexibility shines here—some visitors prefer to stay outside and take photos, while others love the chance to swim or paddle into the cave itself.

Then, it’s time for Stiniva Cove, celebrated as one of Europe’s most beautiful beaches. Its dramatic high cliffs and narrow entrance create a striking scene, and the turquoise waters invite swimmers and sunbathers alike. This spot’s reputation? Well, it’s been voted Europe’s top beach by the European Best Destinations, and you’ll understand why once you see it.

The next stop is Bievo Island for the Blue Cave. This cave’s famed for its mesmerizing blue light, caused by sunlight piercing through a narrow opening. You’ll dock at a small port and take a shuttle boat into the cave—an experience that’s both accessible and awe-inspiring. It’s worth noting that tickets to the Blue and Green Caves are not included, so you’ll need to purchase these locally.

After exploring the caves, you’ll enjoy lunch on Vis Island at a waterfront restaurant serving local cuisine. This break offers a chance to savor Dalmatian flavors, fresh seafood, and enjoy the panoramic views—making your day both scenic and flavorful.

Finally, the tour continues to the Pakleni Islands, a string of islands known for their secluded bays, lush landscapes, and stunning coastlines. With a private tour, you can choose which spots to explore and how long to stay, making it a flexible way to end your day.

The Value of a Private Speedboat
