BLUE CAVE, STINIVA AND HVAR TOUR
Full day speedboat tour from Split to Blue Cave and Hvar is our most popular signature tour. You will island hop 5 Split islands visiting Blue Cave, Monk Seal Cave, Stiniva Cove, Budikovac Lagoon, Palmizana and Hvar town.
And Stiniva on island Vis you get to visit on the Sugaman Tours excursion to Blue Cave and Hvar. As we navigate through the south side of island Vis among the island’s amazing cliffs your eyes will barely catch a narrow entrance that leads us inside the cove. You don’t just get to visit or pass through it, you will get a chance to swim and snorkel inside it’s crystal clear blue sea.
But what is it that makes Stiniva bay, Stiniva cove and Stiniva beach so beautiful? Well, all those things combined. A deep natural bay, with clear blue sea on which end you see two tall rock formations marking the entrance to the cove. Very mysterious and very Hellenistic is the site of Stiniva gates inviting you in where the perfect pebble beach unfolds before your eyes encircled by tall, cave like, stone walls.
That Hellenistic feeling will be with you through the entire journey of Island Vis. Numerous rock formations, mysterious sea and land caves with beautiful unpopulated bays look like they came straight out of Homer’s Odyssey. Even more to this feeling ads the fact that island Vis was first settled by the ancient Greeks in 4th century B.C. who founded colony called Issa (Vis) and soon after colonized the entire island.
You will get to see the shore and bays of Vis island just as we depart from the Blue Cave and head towards Stiniva on our signature Blue Cave tour from Split.
