A full-day boat tour from Split that packs the Blue Cave on Biševo, secluded Stiniva Bay, Budikovac’s protected beaches, Palmizana and historic Hvar into a 9–10 hour outing. Perfect for swimmers and sightseers who want a concentrated look at Dalmatia’s coastal geology, clear water and island culture.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the Riva in Split as the harbor wakes: gulls calling, engines ticking, and the sea ahead a sheet of hard light. The boat slips away from the city, past the serrated coastline, and the Adriatic opens into a route that threads islands like beads — Biševo, Vis, Budikovac, Pakleni isles and Hvar. The Blue Cave on Biševo arrives as promised: when the sun finds the underwater entrance it turns the interior an impossible electric blue that literally reshapes shadows.
