About the Blue Cave

What is the Blue Cave on Biševo

The Blue Cave is a sea cave on the south east side of Biševo, a small island close to Vis. On clear days between late morning and early afternoon, sunlight enters the cave through an underwater opening and reflects off the white sea floor, turning the water and the walls an unreal shade of silver blue. The cave is one of Croatia’s protected natural monuments and the main reason travellers sail from Split and Trogir for a full day at sea.

Why book from Trogir?

Why visit the Blue Cave?

A natural phenomenon

The glowing blue water only happens here and in a handful of caves worldwide. No filter needed, the photos look unreal on their own.

Paired with the best of Vis

Blue Cave tours continue to Stiniva, a bay ranked among Europe’s most beautiful, and the old fishing
town of Komiža.

Bucket list worthy

If you only pick one boat day in Croatia, this is the route most guests remember
for years.

Getting there

How to get to the Blue Cave from Split or Trogir

The fastest way to reach the Blue Cave is by speedboat. From Split Riva or Trogir the crossing takes around ninety minutes, and the cave itself is entered by small wooden boats operated by the local agency on Biševo. Our tours include the official cave ticket, the transfer boat fee and all port charges, so your day is fully covered from pickup to return. Ferry transport is not a realistic option for a day trip, since the schedules do not line up with the hours when the cave glows. A speedboat tour, either as part of a small group departure or as a private charter, is the only time efficient route.

About the Blue Cave

Best time of day and season to visit

The cave glows brightest between 11:00 and 13:00 on sunny days. Our tours depart early in the morning to reach Biševo during that window and to avoid the queue that builds up in peak summer. June, September and early October offer the best mix of settled weather, warm sea and quieter stops. July and August are busier but still worth it when the forecast is clear.

 Verified What an experience we had and memories made that will keep forever. If you’re looking to book a speed boat trip, please book with Siniša he’s so nice, helpful and it’s his own independent company rather than a big tour firm. He won’t disappoint you. The only thing that could have been better is the weather but that’s unavoidable and not his control :) End of the season when we went and probably his last trip for the season.

 Verified This is a great tour. The guys on the boat are friendly, they take you to beautiful locations on a safe, clean boat, and they give you tips to enjoy each stop. This is great value to take a speedboat to all of these places. I would go again if I visit the area.

 Verified If you have half a day to spend and you would like to do it on a sea, you should take this trip. It was really fun to see the Blue Lagoon and the smaller islands.

 Verified Mes attentes était au plus haut car j'ai fait la même excursion avec riatours l'an dernier. Formidable! Le tours était composé de façon à éviter les hordes, et il y avait de petits plus... eau fraîche et café à bord, et équipement de snorkeling proposé pour qui le voulait. N'hétez pas à regarder sous l'eau... il y a toujours beaucoup à voir...

 Verified Нещодавно ми здійснили неймовірну подорож на човні по трьох островах Хорватії, і це був справжній відпочинок мрії! Перша зупинка – Блакитна лагуна, де ми стрибали з човна у прозору воду. Враження просто неймовірні! Наступним пунктом було чарівне село Масленіца, де ми насолодилися смачним обідом у місцевому ресторані, смак якого запам’ятається надовго. Завершили подорож на острові з тихим пляжем, де можна було повністю розслабитися. Капітан і його помічник були справжніми професіоналами, завжди дбали про комфорт і безпеку. На борту були доступні холодна вода та гаряча кава, що зробило подорож ще приємнішою. Ця пригода залишила незабутні враження, і я щиро рекомендую її всім!

 Verified We had an incredible experience with Sinisa. As a local, he was able to share fabulous personal stories and explain the history of the areas we explored. His boat was comfortable, and the small group experience was just we hoped for. He took us to several gorgeous locations for the best snorkeling we did during our 2 weeks in Croatia. We also met wonderful people. Just fabulous.
