Why Should You Visit a Blue Cave?
Definitely, the most popular place for Hvar visitors!
A Blue Cave is a natural phenomenon where the sunlight penetrates deep into an underwater cave and, depending on the time of year, can turn the water’s surface into a deep blue. The Blue Cave, one of the most captivating sights, is located on the small island of Bisevo near the island of Vis, Croatia.
The cave appears to sparkle from the inside in the early hours due to the sun’s beams, and the water takes on a magnificent blue tint. Due to a large number of tourists, the cave has brisk boat traffic, so the use of a motor is banned. Swimming is prohibited in the cave for the same reason. The emerald green patch shining in the depths of the grotto draws attention to the green grotto. It is not particularly deep, and it is now open to the public.

Facts
Bisevo Island, not far from where the Blue Cave is located, with its picturesque natural coastlines, vineyards, and pine forest fragrances, is a true relaxation haven. It is a small island off the coast of Vis, about 5 kilometers south of the city. A pine forest separates the island’s harbor, which has a modest dock, from the hamlet. The island of Bisevo, with its picturesque coastlines, vineyards, and pine forest fragrances, is a true relaxation haven.
Bisevo is said to have 26 caverns, the most notable of which is the Blue Cave, according to some specialists. Because accessing the cave via boat was difficult and could only be done by diving, it was decided to use dynamite to build a small entrance. It has been open to visitors since then. Each boat is only allowed to stay in the cave for 5-15 minutes at a time.
Its history began in 1884 when the cave’s outside entrance was built, the Blue Cave in Croatia was available to the public. It is 3-20 meters deep and has become a famous tourist destination because it is filled with a piercing blue glow for around three hours each day in bright conditions with calm water.
The water here has a stunning color. Seawater eroded limestone, Bisevo Island’s only rock, produces this cerulean oasis – it’s one of a kind. Because of the sunlight’s reflection off of the white seabed, which crawls through the opening of a vault at the cave’s top, the cave’s capacity is filled with a mesmerizing blue tinge. Because the entry is so small, you’ll have to squat in the middle of the boat as the sailor leads you inside.
The Blue Cave is the most impressive of roughly ten caverns dispersed along Bisevo’s shore. Every year, about 10,000 tourists visit the cave, and tourist boats frequently include a visit to another comparable cave on the island, the Zelena Pilja, which is larger and has an emerald-green tone owing to a similar effect.
The Blue Grotto on the Italian island of Capri is likewise known for this occurrence.
Only a tiny boat with oars can carry you to Bisevo Island’s Blue Cave in Croatia. Because the cave’s depth is shallow, it’s acceptable for divers of all ability levels. During the summer, it is preferable to schedule journeys and visits to the Blue Cave between 9:00 and 13:00 in the morning. It is not permitted to utilize your own boat. Throughout June, July, August, and September, the temperature of the water is between 22 – 25 °C.
If you are traveling individually, the best choice is to schedule a boat transport from a Komiza-based business. You can leave in 15 minutes on a fast boat or 30 minutes on a slower large boat. Bisevo has no hotels. However, Porat, which is 45 minutes away from Mezuporat, has a few flats.
