Best Hvar boat trips to the Blue Cave

The Blue Cave , also called the Blue Grotto, is a famous natural wonder in Croatia. Inside, the cave glows with a beautiful blue light, creating a magical atmosphere. It’s truly breathtaking and hard to put into words.

There are plenty of boat tours from Hvar to choose from. Here are my top picks for incredible Hvar boat trips to the Blue Cave.

Tour duration: full day Tour type: group Best for: nature lovers

The highlight of this boat tour is visiting the mesmerizing Blue Cave. On the way, you’ll explore other beautiful coves, beaches, and bays like the Green Cave and Stiniva Cove.

I love that there is enough time to swim in the crystal-clear water and explore each sight. With plenty of time in Vis town, this is a fantastic Vis day trip from Hvar.

Antonia, Dario, and the rest of the crew are knowledgeable about the places you visit and go above and beyond to make the trip memorable.

Tour duration: full day Tour type: private Best for: flexibility

Explore some of the most impressive sights near Hvar like the Blue and Green Caves, as well as Stiniva Cove where you can use the provided snorkeling gear to explore the underwater life.

If you want the comfort of a private Blue Cave tour from Hvar , this is a fabulous option. Since there aren’t other tourists on the boat, the captain, Daniel, is usually quite flexible if you want to make minor changes to the itinerary.

Tour duration: full day Tour type: group Best for: variety

If you want to visit several islands, this is a great option . You’ll visit the Blue Cave on Bisevo, Stiniva Cove on Vis Island, Green Cave on Budikovac Island, snorkel in the turquoise waters off of Ravnik islet, and finish it all off with lunch on the Pakleni islands.

If you tend to get hangry like me, make sure you bring some snacks as the lunch stop is quite late in the day. The skippers Bozo and Tony bring lots of joy to the tour and they are knowledgeable about the places you visit.

Best Boat Tours from Hvar to the Pakleni Islands

Just a quick boat ride from Hvar town lies the Pakleni Islands. Despite their name, which translates to Hell Islands, they’re nothing short of paradise. A day trip to this stunning archipelago is a must-do while in Hvar!

Tour duration: half day Tour type: group Best for: relaxing adventure

Explore stunning coves, hidden caves, and breathtaking beaches on this intimate and laid-back yacht tour . You’ll get to explore the coast of Hvar Island and the Pakleni Islands, a rocky archipelago just off the coast of Hvar town.

Enjoy jumping off the boat, swimming, snorkeling, and stand-up paddleboarding in idyllic surroundings.

While I love that this boat tour allows plenty of water activities, it is also a wonderful boat to just relax on and enjoy the views of the mesmerizing Pakleni Islands. You can even bring your own food and drinks to store in the fridge onboard.

Tour duration: half day Tour type: group Best for: active day on the water

A great way to see the Pakleni archipelago and the waters surrounding Hvar is by kayak. You get plenty of time for swimming, snorkeling, and even grabbing a coffee at one of the beach bars in Zdrilca Bay on Pakleni Islands.

I love that this kayak tour from Hvar follows a loop route so you get to see so much more than if the return was the same way. 

Ivan and the other guides are friendly and easygoing making the kayaking pleasant no matter your level. The kayaks are also good quality and you get a proper safety briefing before the tour.

I’ve already mentioned this tour above but if you want to visit several islands, this 5 island tour really is a great option.

Explore the Blue Cave on Bisevo, unwind at Stiniva Cove on Vis Island, and discover the Green Cave of Budikovac Island. Dive into the crystal-clear waters near Ravnik islet and cap off your day with a delectable lunch on the Pakleni islands. You’ll get to visit the renowned Palmizana beach with its array of bars and eateries.

Pack some snacks to keep hunger at bay, as lunchtime comes fashionably late in the day. And fear not, with skippers Bozo and Tony at the helm, you’re in for a journey filled with laughter and enlightenment.

Best Hvar tours for Foodies and culture

Dalmatian culture is rooted in food and drinks which you can dive into through Hvar’s best foodie and culture tours.

Hvar is home to the UNESCO-listed Stari Grad plains where you’ll find olive groves, lavender fields, and vineyards. Given Hvar’s most famous local wine is named Bogdanuša, which means Given by God, there is no doubt a wine tasting is a must.

Wild boar also roam freely in the area and are used in local delicacies in selected restaurants like Konoba Kokot .

Tour duration: 2.5 hours Tour type: group Best for: culture, cousine

Going on a wine tasting tour is a lovely way to learn more about the local wines in Hvar. This tour takes you to the Tomic winery in Vrboska or the Dubokovic winery in Jelsa where you get an insight into the wine production and the grapes they grow.

At the winery, you will get to sample some of their best wines in one of the wine cellars accompanied by bread and olive oil.

The highlight of this tour (besides the wine, of course!) is the drive across the island to and from the winery. You’ll even get to stop at Napoleon Fort to take in the views over Pakleni Islands on one side and the Kabal Peninsula on the other. 

The guides are knowledgeable and eager to share information about the island and places you drive by, so this is a great opportunity to learn more about Hvar and the culture from a local’s perspective.

Tour duration: half day Tour type: group Best for: hidden gems

Explore Hvar beyond the trodden path and try true local food, on this tour of the island’s hidden gems . Experience the real Hvar outside the tourist traps venturing inland, taking in the views, and exploring rustic villages.

Get ready for spectacular views of Hvar and the surrounding islands From Napoleon Fort. In the season, you will also stop by the lavender fields in Brusje. But the local meal, set in an abandoned village, is truly the icing on the cake.

Best Adventure Tours of Hvar

If you like to fit a little adventure into your vacation, this section is for you. From cycling to kayaking, there are so many wonderful ways to explore Hvar while staying active. Here are the best adventure tours of Hvar.

Tour duration: half day Tour type: self guided Best for: hidden gems, flexibility

Exploring the island by e-bike gives you so much freedom to see parts of the island you otherwise wouldn’t. Hvar is hilly, so getting the support of an e-bike ensures you get around even if you aren’t used to biking.

When you pick up your e-bike, you get a map with points of interest to follow so you easily find the hidden gems of Hvar like Velo Grablje. 

Make sure you bring swimwear for the beach stops and cash to grab a drink or a bite to eat during your excursion. In summer double down on sun protection and bring plenty of water, things tend to heat up fast!

Jure and the staff at Antonio rent will give you plenty of tips before your ride, but if you prefer the convenience of a guided e-bike adventure, book this guided bike tour .

Tour duration: half day Tour type: group Best for: slow eco travel

Cycling around Hvar with a local gu ide is one of the best ways to see the island at a slow pace. As opposed to the e-bike tour above, this is by push bike and there is no cheating when going uphill!

You will explore hidden gems and learn about history from a local’s point of view as you cover the northern part of Hvar with your guide.

The guides, including Grgo, make you feel like family and the ride is relaxed and friendly. Grgo and his family also run the winery where you will end the tour and sample some of their wines.

Tour duration: half day or full day Tour type: self guided Best for: hidden gems, flexibility

Renting a quad is a great way to see the less touristy parts of Hvar island and you get to access places that are not reachable by car.

I highly recommend going to the Kabal Peninsula which is one of the most underrated places in Hvar. Covered in pine forest and home to some of the most breathtaking coves and beaches it is almost unbelievable that there aren’t more people there.

With a quad, you can easily get to beautiful Hvar beaches at the end of dodgy roads, like Gromin Dolac and Lucisca.

Before you start you will get a proper walk-through of how to operate the ATV, so even if it is your first time quad biking, you will feel safe. And they also provide a map of sights to see. But if you ask me, just head off to the Kabal Peninsula. 

Best day trips from Split to Hvar

If you are based in Split, your itinerary should include a day trip to Hvar and surrounding islands.

The crystal-clear water dotted with picturesque islands can easily turn a boat trip from Split to Hvar and the Pakleni Islands into your best memory from Croatia. Here are the best Hvar tours from Split.

Tour duration: full day Tour type: private Best for: nature lovers, flexibility

If you want to prioritize Hvar on your day trip, this speed boat tour is the best option giving you meaningful time to explore the island. The boat stops at the Red Rocks on Hvar where you can swim in crystal-clear water, the Pakleni archipelago, and plenty of time in Hvar Town.

Being a private tour , it allows for customizations in the itinerary if there are some places you want to spend a longer or shorter time at.

If you prefer a relaxing catamaran cruise from Split to Hvar where you get plenty of time onboard with food and drinks included, this tour is for you.  

The itinerary is jampacked with beautiful nature, activities, and sightseeing and I can’t recommend this tour enough, especially for the friendly and knowledgeable crew. You’ll get to visit several islands like Hvar, Brac, Pakleni, and Solta. You’ll stop for swimming and snorkeling in secluded bays along the way and even a guided tour of Hvar Town.

Getting to Hvar, Croatia

There is no commercial airport on Hvar and in order to reach the island you’ll have to take a boat or a ferry from Split, Drvenik or one of the surrounding islands.

Most visitors come to Hvar from Split, and if that’s the case with you, make sure to check out my Split itinerary to make the most of your time in Split Old Town and its surroundings.

There are two ferry lines connecting Hvar to the mainland; Split – Stari Grad and Drvenik – Sucuraj. While you can usually just rock up at the port and get a ferry ticket there, in high season it’s better to book it ahead of time.

Book your car ferry.

The passenger ferry is much faster than the ferry and it will drop you off in the centre of Hvar town. This is the best option if you do not have a car.

Book your boat trip to Hvar.

Private transfers by speedboat are the fastest way of getting to Hvar and often include pick up from the airport.

They’re a fabulous option for bigger groups, late arrivals and anyone wanting to take some extra precautions with social distancing and Covid safety. Private transfers are also a lot more flexible in terms of drop off points and can get you much closer to your chosen accommodation on Hvar.

Book your private transfer here.

Getting around Hvar in Croatia

Hvar is almost 70 kilometres long and as soon as you venture past Jelsa the roads get narrower and windier. And parking is an issue in most of Croatia.

There is also plenty of places on Hvar that are only accessible over gravel or dirt roads. Most rental car companies won’t allow you on gravel or dirt roads and these are often the most beautiful places you won’t want to miss out on!

Despite exploring the island by car ourselves, this would not be our first choice if we had to rent one on the island. Some roads (if you’d like to explore deeper) are just too narrow for two way traffic and parking is an issue in most places in Croatia.

That being said, a lot of people explore the island by car since it’s cost effective and very easy to get it over by ferry and there certainly is something to be said about AC!

A scooter is a fabulous way to explore Hvar! It’s easy, affordable and the island is just small enough that you can get almost anywhere by scooter. OK, maybe not Sucuraj or you won’t be able to feel your ass by the end of it.

Navigating the narrow roads and parking is a lot easier when you have a scooter, just make sure you get one that’s strong enough to get you over the hills before you get old!

Hire a 125cc scooter

As we mentioned before, there’s plenty of gravel and dirt roads on Hvar d certain areas are better explored with a 4×4!

We’d recommend you rent an ATV for the Kabal Peninsula and to take the shortcut (past Zi’s favourite beach ) to Sveta Nedilja. On top of that you’ll be able to discover loads of other bays and beautiful viewpoints you can’t access otherwise.

Rent an ATV

There are several busses per day that connect the main towns and villages on Hvar island as well as water taxi services you can use.

The best time to visit Hvar is in the shoulder season which runs April till mid-June, and September to October. This is when the crowds are manageable, the weather is warm and pleasant, and the prices more affordable. If you visit in Autumn you’ll also have the benefit of the warmer sea.

Hvar claims it gets the most sunshine of all the islands and it is a popular summer holiday destination that becomes very crowded, loud, and expensive in the peak of season which is late June till the end of August.

As a rule of thumb, we would advise you to avoid Croatia in the peak of summer. It just gets too hot, too crowded, and too expensive. You’ll have a much better experience visiting in late spring or early Autumn.

During the winter months, Hvar is very quiet and most bars, restaurants and shops are closed.

Hvar is a beautiful island and we’re sure you’ll love it! To help you plan your trip to Hvar Island we’ve prepared a series of travel guides for you to help you dig deeper into each of the above mentioned locations.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.
