Embark on an unforgettable adventure with Condor Yachting, where you can experience the hidden gems of the Adriatic Sea, including the mesmerizing Blue Cave. This magical natural phenomenon is nestled on the island of Biševo, just off the coast of Vis. The Blue Cave's iridescent blue glow, created by sunlight reflecting through underwater openings, creates an ethereal atmosphere that captivates every visitor.

Setting Sail from Split

Your adventure begins in the bustling port city of Split, Croatia's second-largest city and a gateway to the islands of the Adriatic Sea. The city is home to the UNESCO-listed Diocletian’s Palace, a 4th-century fortress that stands as a testament to Split’s importance in ancient Roman times.

The journey starts early in the morning, ensuring a full day of exploration. Your first destination is the mesmerising Blue Cave on Biševo Island, known for its stunning blue light effect created by the sun streaming through an underwater cavern.

The best time to visit the cave is between 11 a.m. and noon when the sunlight enters at just the right angle to illuminate the cave to its fullest. To enter, boats must pass through a small opening in the rock, and as you glide into the cavern, the glow intensifies, leaving visitors in awe. The cave's mysterious atmosphere, combined with the brilliant blue light, offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience that can only be fully appreciated in person.

After exploring the cave, enjoy the serenity of Porat Beach or take a hike to the island’s highest peak for panoramic views.

Beyond the Blue Cave

While the Blue Cave is undoubtedly the tour's highlight, the surrounding islands of Biševo and Vis offer much more to explore. After visiting the cave, you’ll sail to Vis Island, known for its stunning landscapes and unspoiled beauty. Here, you can relax at the secluded Stiniva Beach, a hidden gem surrounded by dramatic cliffs. If weather permits, you'll also have the chance to visit the charming fishing village of Komiža, where you can experience the authentic Adriatic lifestyle and culture.

As the day progresses, you’ll reach Budikovac Island, with its calm shallow lagoon – ideal for swimming, especially for families.

The journey continues to the Pakleni Islands, where you can enjoy a delicious Mediterranean meal featuring fresh seafood and take a stroll through the picturesque villages. Finally, you'll arrive at Hvar town, renowned for its captivating history, stunning architecture, and vibrant atmosphere.

After a day filled with breathtaking scenery, cultural discoveries, and relaxation, your journey will end with a scenic sail back to Split.
