Trip route
The 5 islands private boat tour takes you to more remote Croatian islands that still haven’t been tamed by tourist crowds. So, if you’re looking for a more authentic and exclusive experience, this is the tour for you!
Experience the Blue Cave on Biševo island
Blue Cave, also known as Blue Grotto, is one of the most famous Croatian natural wonders and this is where we start our tour. It’s located on Biševo island, near its bigger brother Vis. It was discovered in the 19th century and has been taking people’s breath away ever since!
The way that sunlight is reflected under the sea surface and inside the grotto makes the Blue Cave the scene of the most exquisite deep shades of blue. As you enter this blue belly of the island, let yourself be engulfed by its beauty and tranquility.
A private boat tour is a perfect way to experience its magic!
Take a dip in Budikovac Blue Lagoon
After we make a stop for lunch at Komiža and take a quick dip to refresh ourselves at the Stiniva beach, we’re off to see another natural wonder! Budikovac is a tiny uninhabited island not far from Vis and it’s known for its Caribbean-like turquoise water perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
Stroll around Hvar
Next, we’re off to the sunniest island on the entire Croatian coastline! You’ll have time to explore the town of Hvar, its history and many great restaurants. Don’t be afraid to get lost in its cobbled streets – it’s the best way to discover hidden courtyards and charming piazzas. If you have the time, climb to the Fortica fortress just above Hvar for some unforgettable views. It’s a perfect place for taking pictures!
Relax in Pakleni Islands
And finally, we’ll take you on a cruise among Pakleni Islands, an archipelago rich in natural beauty located just in front of Hvar town. Enjoy the wind and sun before we pick a place where you can cool off in the clear salty water of the Adriatic sea.

Blue Cave
The Blue Cave is a natural phenomenon that attracts many tourists from all over the world. The cave is located on the eastern side of the island of Biševo near Vis. The cave has two openings, one through which a small paddle boat can pass and the other on the south side of the cave below sea level. Sunlight reaches this opening and reflects and illuminates the cave in blue. The visit to the cave is organized by a small paddle boat. After we reach Bisevo, we wait for the queue to enter the cave. The cave is fascinating and worth a visit. This natural phenomenon defends itself from excessive visits. Wondering how? In case of bad weather and waves it is not possible to enter the cave. That is why it is best to visit in the morning.
Komiža
Protected from all northerly winds, Komiza is situated at the bottom of the Hum hill. A picturesque place with a long fishing tradition. The fishermen from Komiža make it the most famous place on the Adriatic. Komiža will delight you at first glance; enjoy walking and sightseeing. Rest assured that the locals will greet you warmly and welcome you. Considering the famous fishermen, Komiza is a place for a great meal. Choose your own terrace and enjoy the delicacies. After a quality meal, it's time for a swim.
Stiniva
In the middle of the wilderness of the island of Vis lies the most attractive cove. The ideal approach to Stiniva is by boat from the sea. The bay is about 600 meters long and is surrounded on both sides by high inaccessible rock cliffs. It is almost impossible for a shy to see when she is approached from the sea precisely because of her seclusion. At the foot of the beach are several uninhabited cottages that are protected as a nature reserve. The incredible nature and cleanliness of the sea adorn the cove. We stop here for a swim. And of course, plenty of unavoidable photos.
Budikovac Blue Lagoon
Budikovac is a small uninhabited island near Vis. Also popular as the Vis Blue Lagoon. Since there is a beach bar and restaurant we will take the opportunity to refresh and stop. You can choose between a refreshing drink or a refreshing swim, and if you are a true hedonist you can choose both. By the way, you will meet a friendly donkey on Budikovac, the trademark of Dalmatia. After this gem, let’s head to Hvar town ...
Hvar
What makes Hvar so special? First of all the position at which it is located. Hvar is a place that will delight even the most demanding ones. The sights of Hvar are the Hvar Cathedral, the Museum of Croatian Heritage, the Hvar Theater, the City Lodge, the city walls that span the northern part of the city and connect with Fortica (fortress). The view from Fortica is unavoidable and this is exactly the picture that toured the world. As a favorite destination for many foreigners, Hvar is also popular among Croatians who cannot resist the beauty of Hvar. After exploring the city, climbing Fortica, you'll have time for a coffee on one of the popular terraces where you can breathe in a scent of this island. After Hvar, we reach the last stop of the day; Pakleni islands.
Pakleni Islands
The Pakleni islands are an archipelago of 19 islands and cliffs in front of the town of Hvar. After touring the Hvar old town it's time for relaxation, refreshing drink and swimming. On the Pakleni Islands you have the opportunity to swim in the clear sea, have a cocktail on the terrace by the sea and enjoy the sun.
