Can you visit Blue Cave from Hvar?

Blue cave tours can generally depart from Split, Hvar or Vis, and can be also advertised as Five island tour or Four island tour, depending on the itinerary. While branding might be different, all tours generally cover similar areas, Vis island and its surroundings and Hvar with its surroundings.



Yes, visiting the Blue Cave (Biševo) is one of the most popular day trips from Hvar Town. Located on the small island of Biševo near Vis, the cave is approximately a one-hour speedboat ride from Hvar. In 2026, numerous tour operators offer both group and private excursions that typically combine the Blue Cave with stops at the Green Cave, Stiniva Cove, and the Pakleni Islands. It is important to know that you cannot enter the cave with your own boat; once you arrive at Biševo, you must transfer to a small, official motorboat managed by the local concessionaire to pass through the narrow entrance. The "blue glow" is most vibrant between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM when the sun is at the correct angle. Because this is a highly weather-dependent trip, tours are often cancelled if the southern "Jugo" wind makes the cave entrance too dangerous to navigate. Tickets for the cave itself cost around €18 to €24 depending on the season, and it is widely considered a "must-see" highlight of the Dalmatian Coast, despite the potential for long wait times during the peak summer months.
