The engine hums and Split's Riva slips behind you as the speedboat cuts into the Adriatic. Sunlight fractures across the water until the Blue Cave on Biševo opens like a painted door — an intense, inland blue produced when sunlight filters through a submerged entrance and reflects off the limestone floor. Later the boat threads into the narrower Green Cave, drifts into Stiniva's sheltered amphitheater of cliff and pebble, and drops anchor in Budikovac's transparent lagoon for snorkeling.
