After a walking tour of Vis, you continue by vehicle to the charming village of Podhumlje for a tasting of local island products at a village home.

Description

Hop aboard a speed boat for a scenic ride from Komiza toward Mazoporat Bay on Bisevo Island for a discovery of Croatia’s 2 famous attractions: The Blue Cave and the Green Cave.

Biševo Island leaves everyone breathless. The combination of natural phenomena, sandy bays & friendly islanders will remain in your memory forever. At this island there is rare natural phenomenon happening at the Blue Cave. The interior of the cave and the sea inside are illuminated with an indescribable silver-blue light. The rays of sun passing into the cave through a small crack in its ceiling are reflected in the sea, creating incredible light effects.

When you arrive on Biševo at Mezoporat bay, you will get off the larger boat and the skipper will take you to a small wooden boat that takes you into the Blue Cave. This is a similar experience to visiting the World-Famous Blue Grotto in Capri, Italy. The cave entrance is very small, and at a certain point you need to crouch in the center of the boat while the skipper maneuvers the boat into the cave. Once inside you will explore the interior which is bathed in an unearthly blue light. And beneath the translucent water, rocks glimmer in silver and pink to a depth of 16 meters. These are memories you will never forget and are etched into your mind during this Yachting Land Adventure.

Next you will visit the second and less known Green Cave. There is one important difference though, there is an opportunity to swim at this unique destination! Another natural phenomenon from light in the cave also appears in the Green Cave located on the islet Ravnik, on the southern side of Vis Island. After exploring and swimming at the Green Cave, you will rejoin the speed boat and stop at a beach to enjoy a quick snack; before the scenic ride back to Komiza and the SeaDream Yacht.
