Stiniva Cove

Discover Stiniva Bay, a hidden paradise consistently ranked among Europe's most beautiful beaches. This remarkable cove is framed by towering limestone cliffs that narrow dramatically to create a natural gateway just 4 meters wide opening to the Adriatic Sea. As our boat navigates through this narrow entrance, you'll be awestruck as the bay suddenly reveals itself—a secluded pebble beach surrounded by 35-meter high cliffs forming a natural amphitheater. The crystal-clear turquoise waters offer perfect swimming and snorkeling conditions in this protected natural wonder. For the adventurous, there's an opportunity to swim through the narrow passage or explore the small caves along the shoreline. The dramatic scenery and pristine waters make Stiniva an unparalleled photo opportunity and swimming destination. Once a former cave whose roof collapsed centuries ago, this geological masterpiece now stands as one of Croatia's most iconic and Instagram-worthy coastal treasures.

Green Cave

Experience the enchanting Green Cave, a captivating natural formation near the island of Vis. Unlike its blue counterpart, this cave features a mesmerizing emerald glow created by sunlight filtering through a ceiling opening and reflecting off the white seabed. Visitors can swim in the crystalline waters inside the cave, surrounded by the ethereal green light that dances across the ancient stone walls. The spacious interior allows for a more relaxed exploration compared to other caves in the area. At €12 during high season (€8 off-season), the Green Cave offers excellent value with typically shorter wait times. Our skipper will navigate you right into the cave opening where you can marvel at this natural phenomenon, swim in the glowing waters, or even cliff jump for the adventurous.

After enjoying this natural paradise, you can opt for lunch in nearby Vis town (not included in price), where excellent seafood restaurants await, or continue to our next destination.
