If you're planning a trip to Dalmatia and looking for a day tour that’s more than just a checklist stop, the Blue Cave should be at the top of your list. Located on the island of Biševo, this natural wonder is famous for its ethereal blue light and crystal-clear water. But like most magical places, timing, local knowledge, and the right crew make all the difference.

Here’s everything you need to know before you go.

What is the Blue Cave?

The Blue Cave (Modra špilja) is a sea cave tucked into the eastern side of Biševo island, about 5 km southwest of Vis. What makes it so famous is the way sunlight enters the cave through an underwater opening, reflecting off the white seabed and illuminating the entire interior with a glowing, electric-blue light.

You can only enter the cave on small boats operated by official guides, and while the visit inside lasts just a few minutes, it leaves a lasting impression.

When is the best time to visit?

To catch the famous blue glow at its best, plan your visit between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM, when the sun is at just the right angle.

Tours operate throughout the summer, but if you want to skip the biggest crowds, consider going in June or September or opt for an early morning departure.

What’s included in the Blue Cave Tour?

When you book a Blue Cave Tour with Klobuk Travel, you’re not just booking a boat transfer. You’re signing up for a full-day adventure curated by locals who know the sea like the back of their hand.

A typical tour includes:

• Blue Cave (Biševo): the main highlight
• Komiža (Vis): a charming fishing town for coffee or a quick stroll
• Stiniva Beach: an iconic cove surrounded by towering cliffs
• Budikovac Lagoon: perfect for swimming and snorkeling
• Pakleni Islands or Palmižana: a relaxed lunch stop with island vibes

Itineraries are flexible and always adapted to weather conditions, sea traffic, and your preferences.

What can you expect from your day?

Departure is usually around 8 AM from Split or Hvar, with return in the late afternoon. On board, you’ll be greeted by a licensed skipper, cold drinks, snorkeling gear, good music, and maybe even a few hidden-gem tips you won’t find on TripAdvisor.

We aim to turn your day on the water into a true Mediterranean experience,  relaxed, scenic, and stress-free.

Tips for the best experience

• Bring a swimsuit, towel, sunscreen, and sunglasses
• Flip flops or sandals are perfect, no need for heavy shoes
• Make sure your phone or camera is fully charged
• Note: Swimming is not allowed inside the cave, but we’ll stop at plenty of other spots where you can dive in

Is the Blue Cave really worth it?

Absolutely, if you do it right. With the wrong boat, no plan and long waiting lines in the sun, it can become just another tourist trap.

That’s why at Klobuk Travel, we focus on small groups, personal service, and local know-how. With over 15 years of experience navigating the Dalmatian coast, we know when to go, where to stop, and how to craft a day you'll talk about long after your trip ends.
