Explore the Caves & Beaches of Vis Island, Vis Island

4.8 (4 reviews)

Overview

Embark on an excursion to see the amazing Blue and Green Caves of Vis Island! The first stop is the incredible Green Cave, in which you can swim and snorkel or enter with a guide on the small boat. The cave gets its name from a tiny hole in the ceiling due to one of the wars, which allows a stream of light to reflect against the water. This creates an emerald-green hue.

Enjoy the cave for about one hour, then make your way to one of the most beautiful beaches in Croatia, Stiniva Beach. This beach is hidden by the rocky cliffs surrounding it, keeping the pebbles in the shade all day. The trek down to the beach is quite steep (following a goat path), so you'll get the privilege of arriving by the sea! 

Next, head to the Blue Cave, where you can only enter inside with the guide. The cave's interior always leaves visitors in awe, as the water gives off a silvery-blue hue illuminated by the sun sneaking in through cracks. In addition, it creates a shimmery light reflected off the water that seems to glow! 

Lastly, stop at Palmižana Bay in the Pakleni Islands to have lunch.

We loved doing this trip as a small group. It allowed everyone to participate in all activities/experiences but still get to know your fellow travelers. Blue cave was stunning, and visiting the various coves and inlets was great fun! Read more

Thank you to Stepan and Ivanka for hosting us on this adventure. The waters were choppy so we couldn't jump in all the swim spots, but of course safety wins :) We had a great time touring Vis island and seeing the incredible blue caves. Thank you for having drinks for us to stay refreshed! Read more
