Itinerary

Stiniva

The most beautiful beach in Croatia and also once voted the most beautiful beach in Europe. We will make a swim stop here, usually for 30 minutes, so you will have enough time to swim to the shore and maybe even grab a snack or drink in the small beach bar.

Green cave

Swim into the famous cave on Ravnik island, known for its emerald color. Its captivating lighting and color make Green cave a perfect snorkeling spot. The entrance to the Green cave is paid 7 to 10 euros extra.

Blue cave

This stunning turquoise sea cave is an absolute must-see! The area is protected and the entrance to the cave is only possible in small boats, which has a fee of about 13 euros. Bear in mind that during high season (July and August) you might have to wait a bit to get in.

Pakleni islands

The last stop of our tour is most frequently Palmižana, the most popular bay of Pakleni islands. Here you will have about 2 hours off so you can grab lunch in one of the nearby restaurants, or you can enjoy its sandy beaches and clear turquoise sea.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the Blue cave close sometimes?

The Blue cave has a very small entrance, so sometimes, due to high winds, the sea level goes up and it is not possible to go inside. In those cases we do an alternative location.

Can we get a refund in case of bad weather?

In case of bad weather you can either cancel your tour and get a full refund, or reschedule your tour for the following day. We usually sail even if it rains (and it can be a fun experience), but in case of very strong winds we have to cancel the tour due to safety reasons.

Is there a toilet on the boat?

Some boats have the toilet on board, and some don't. But, there are bathrooms on almost every stop of our tour.

Is there food on the tour?

The food itself is not included, but you are welcome to bring your own, or to go for lunch on our last stop in Palmižana on Pakleni islands.

Can small children go on the tour?

While the tour itself is generally safe, children require extra precaution and the liability rests exclusively upon parents. Small children are allowed to go on the boat, but it is advised against taking babies and strollers on board.

Can I go on the tour if I am not a swimmer?

Non-swimmers can also join the tour and can stay on board on some of the swim stops. For visiting the Blue cave you do not need to swim, also some locations like Stiniva and Green cave can have small dingy that can take you can use to pull yourself to the shore/cave (however this cannot be guaranteed as sometimes they are occupied). There are also life vests on board if you'd like to use them.

Can I bring a camera or other valuables on board?

While people frequently bring their valuables and electronic devices on board and we haven't had any bad experiences, the liability rests with the traveler to take care of her belongings.

Should I bring long-sleeve shirt for the boat ride?

It is absolutely advisable to bring a long-sleeve shirt or a windstopper jacket during May, early June, September or October, as the boat ride can be chilly in those months.
