Itinerary

  1. Come aboard our speedboat as we start off our day with an exciting 90-minute ride to the UNESCO-protected Vis Archipelago. Its main highlight, the famous BLUE CAVE on Biševo Island is our first stop. As we arrive and get the tickets you will jump into a small fishermen`s boat and the local skipper/guide takes you inside the Cave. WOW! The pictures don`t do justice to a place like this. No filters are needed for this game of light and reflection as the sun rays reflect off the white sand bottom creating an intense blue color and making your photos and videos almost unreal.

    1 h

  2. Komiža is an authentic fishing village on Vis Island, known for its traditional stone houses, narrow streets, and relaxed seaside atmosphere. Once a working harbor for local fishermen, it has preserved its genuine island character and slow pace of life. Komiža also gained international fame as a filming location for Mamma Mia 2, adding a touch of movie magic to its timeless charm.

    1 h

  3. The Stupišće Military Base is a former secret Yugoslav rocket facility hidden within the cliffs of Vis Island. Built during the Cold War, it was once used to store and launch military missiles, remaining closed to the public for decades. Today, it stands as a striking reminder of the island’s hidden military past and offers a unique photo opportunity along the rugged coastline.

    15 min

  4. The limestone caves of Vis Island are natural formations carved over centuries by the sea and wind. These impressive caves feature dramatic shapes, arches, and textures created by constant wave erosion. They represent a unique geological highlight and a striking contrast to the island’s crystal-clear waters.

    15 min

  5. Save this memory as we continue with the cruise around Vis Island to our swimming locations. STINIVA BAY is our next stop. What a place, what a beach! Jump in the crystal clear sea, and catch some Vitamin D lying on the beach while admiring the impressive cliffs in the background. We finish our tour in the late afternoon with a boat ride from Hvar back to Split.

    30 min

  6. Afterward, we continue to the nearby BLUE LAGOON area situated next to the Island of Budikovac.Time for some snorkeling maybe? Grab our gear. Turquoise water and the white sand bottom are a combo perfect for some underwater photos and selfies

    1.3 h

  7. In the second part of our day, we move on to the Hvar Island area. Our first stop here is the Pakleni Islands, a stunning chain of small wooded islets known for their crystal-clear waters, hidden bays, and unspoiled nature. This breathtaking archipelago offers perfect photo opportunities and a glimpse of one of the most beautiful island groups in the Adriatic.

    15 min

  8. Last but not least we stop at the Town of Hvar. Admire the cultural sights, visit the Fortica fortress to get a perfect photo of what we call "the Croatian St.Tropez".

  • 5Excellent trip

    Had a great time on this trip. Patricia and Simon were excellent hosts and guides. So happy and chatty and they smiled all day. As a solo traveler I found Patricia to be particularly beautiful person who took time to chat to me about my own work and country. I felt at ease all day on this trip which was spectacular in itself.

About Split

Split is a busy Dalmatian port built within and around a Roman emperor's palace, with ferries to some of Croatia's loveliest islands.

Diocletian's Palace, built around the turn of the fourth century as the emperor's retirement home, is the old town itself: its walls, cellars and courtyards hold homes, shops and cafés. The Peristyle, the colonnaded heart, leads to the Cathedral of St Domnius, once the emperor's mausoleum, and its bell tower gives views over the rooftops.

Top-ranked sights in Split: Budikovac Island (Veliki Budikovac), Blue Lagoon Croatia (Krknjasi Bay), Peristyle Square (Peristil).
