Beach & Swimming

Komiza Guided Walk, Free Time & Lunch

Continue with a cruise to Vis Island and explore picturesque village of Komiza, a quaint, small town on the western coast. The town is situated in a deep bay of the same name. Established in 16th century, this village still depends largely on fishing and agriculture as it did hundreds of years ago. Its fishermen not only ruled with their boats over the Adriatic Sea, but they also traded with the neighbouring coast, creating fishermen's centres on the Pacific coasts of both Americas.

Upon arrival take a guided tour of the streets and squares of this charming fisherman village. Afterward, some free time is made available to explore the town at your leisure. Following your free time, enjoy lunch in the village before cruising to your next location.

Bisevo Island with Blue Cave

Bisevo Island leaves everyone breathless, with its memorable combination of natural phenomena, sandy bays and friendly islanders. The Island of Bisevo is situated 5 nautical miles from the town of Komiza (on Vis island), and is best known for its rare natural phenomenon, the Blue Cave. The interior of the cave and the sea within it 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.

Arrive on Bisevo at Mezoporat Bay and board a small wooden boat which takes you into the cave. The cave entrance is quite small, requiring that you crouch in the center of the boat while the skipper manages the boat into the cave. After visiting Blue Cave, rejoin your speedboat for scenic ride back to Hvar.
