The Experience
Before You Go
Blue Cave ticket
Tickets for the Blue Cave entry are paid on site and vary by season—bring cash (or small change) and expect a short queue; access depends on sea conditions.
Sea conditions
Rough seas can close the cave; if you’re prone to motion sickness, take prophylactics before boarding and sit central and low in the boat.
Protect the water
Use reef‑safe sunscreen and avoid stepping on seagrass beds when entering the water to protect Posidonia meadows.
Timing for light
Morning visits (before mid‑day) typically yield the most intense blue light inside the cave—schedule your stop early for best color.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Sea Monk Cave (small, rarely visited cave near Biševo)
- •A quiet lunch spot in Palmizana bay on the Pakleni Islands away from Hvar town’s main jetty
Wildlife
- •Bottlenose dolphins
- •Mediterranean fish species around Posidonia meadows (e.g., wrasse and sea bream)
Conservation Note
The islands host sensitive Posidonia seagrass meadows; avoid anchoring on meadows, pack out trash, and use reef‑safe sunscreens to minimize impact.
Biševo and nearby Vis were historically fishing and maritime hubs influenced by Venetian rule and later Austro‑Hungarian administration; stone architecture and harbor layouts reflect that layered past.
