Natural Wonder

About This Attraction

Vis Croatia

The Blue Cave on the island of Vis is a popular natural attraction known for its stunning azure glow. This phenomenon occurs when sunlight enters through an underwater opening, illuminating the cave in bright blue tones. Visitors can enter the cave by small boat tours, which are usually guided to ensure safety and provide information about the site. It is important to note that the Blue Cave opening hours vary depending on the season, so checking in advance is recommended.

The best time to visit the Blue Cave is typically around midday when sunlight is at its peak for optimal lighting conditions inside the cave. Tickets for entry are available at various locations on Vis and nearby islands. While the visit inside the cave is relatively short, often lasting about 15 minutes, it leaves a lasting impression due to its unique visual experience. Remember to bring a camera to capture this natural wonder.
