08:00 hours
Description
Visit all the highlights of this area in one day, check out the unique and amazing Blue cave, and take a swim in the crystal clear water at some of the most beautiful spots Croatia has to show.
We usually start our day with a refreshing swim in the beautiful Budikovac Blue lagoon.
We then proceed either to Stiniva, or the Green cave, both of which can best be experienced by swimming in, as the boats are not allowed to enter them. However, in most cases there is a dingy boat available, so you can row your way in. There is a fee to enter the Green cave, if the whole group prefers to avoid paying, we can just check out the Green cave from the outside, and visit another spot instead.
When you reach Bisevo island, where the Blue cave is located, you will have to disembark our boat, and proceed to buy your tickets at the ticket point. Blue cave is sometimes visited in the first part of your tour, and sometimes later on; this always depends on the winds and how crowded the Bisevo port is, so your skipper will act according to his best estimate, in order to make your experience as good as possible.
It is recommended to buy the tickets as soon as you disembark so that you don't have to wait long for your turn.There is a digital ticket counter display by the ticket office.
When it is time to get inside the cave, you will have to board a small boat in the port which will take you to the interior of the Blue cave. Motorboats are not allowed to enter and swimming is strictly prohibited as this is a protected area. The moment of entering the cave might seem somewhat claustrophobic at first because the hole through which you have to pass with the boat to get in is fairly small, you might even have to duck your head. However, as soon as you enter the space opens up drastically, and you will find yourself in a spacious room illuminated with stunning blue color. The boat guide will take you around the cave and explain the history of the place, during which time you can use your camera and try to capture the moment. The tour of the cave is not very long, 5 to 10 minutes max, which is enough time to experience it fully and take some stunning photos.
When the entire group has visited the cave (this is why, once again, you should buy your tickets as soon as you disembark – so that others would not have to wait for you), you can come back to your tour boat and proceed with the tour. While the order in which the locations are visited is never fixed, it is almost certain that your last location will be Palmižana, a bay on Pakleni islands, which is also where you can have lunch. This is the most famous bay of Pakleni, and arguably, the most beautiful one. The last break is the longest one and it will last around 2 hours. You can use this time to go for lunch in one of the restaurants in the bay, to swim by the sandy beach of Palmižana, or you can take a walk and explore the rich nature with many interesting plants growing in the area. After Palmižana the tour is slowly coming to an end, so you should board your boat and enjoy the final (and very scenic) ride of the day, as the boat approaches Hvar port.
