Overview

The Blue Grotto on Biševo Island, near Vis, is a stunning natural wonder best seen between 11 a.m. and noon when sunlight transforms the cave into a vibrant blue haven. The sparkling underwater rocks create a magical atmosphere.

Despite increased visitor numbers limiting activities like lingering and swimming, the allure of this breathtaking site endures. Tours to the Blue Grotto are available from Komiža, showcasing the beauty of Biševo, part of the Vis Archipelago UNESCO Global Geopark.

The cave, known for its captivating blue hue, sparkles the most in the morning light. Due to heavy boat traffic, motor use and swimming are now prohibited. Mario Rent on Hvar Island offers boat tours, including a stop at Palmizana for lunch.

How to get there

The speed boat ride from Split to Blue Cave (Bisevo island) lasts 1 hour and 40 minutes. You will move to a smaller boat to enter the Blue Cave there. The reason is that the entrance to the Blue Cave is only 1.5 meters high, so only small boats can enter the Blue Cave. Furthermore, you can also visit it via organized tours from Hvar, Korčula, or Dubrovnik.

You can take advantage of the year-round boat service from Komiza on Vis to Bisevo; visit the Croatian Coastal Shipping Agency website for the most accurate schedules. Tickets are reasonably priced. The timetable ensures you can enjoy a full day on Bisevo, with boats arriving in the morning and returning in the afternoon. If you own a boat, docking at Bisevo or Mezuporat is also an option, allowing you to transfer directly to the ships heading to the Blue Cave.

FAQ

Can you get to Blue Cave without a tour?

You can visit the Blue Cave alone, but it takes a lot of planning and can be tiring. Without a tour guide, you might miss interesting spots that only locals know about. This is why many people go on an organized tour to see the Blue Cave.

Why should you visit the Blue Grotto?

The bottom line is this – places that hold such beauty as the Blue Grotto are popular for a reason. If you find yourself in Capri or close enough to get there, you should consider a trip to this magical cave. You don’t often regret seeing something so breathtaking in real life! The verdict. We think Blue Cave is worth visiting… if you have the time to do it right. If you’re only visiting Dalmatia for a few days, skip Blue Cave and soak up what your environment offers. To us, it was far more impressive than, for instance, blue caves on Capri Island or the Amalfi coast.
