Vis Island tour
Vis island is the furthest inhabited island in Croatia. Vis is also considered to be the most beautiful island in Croatia. During the time of Yugoslavia, the entire Vis island was considered to be one big military base used by Yugoslavia army. Therefor, no foreign visitors were allowed on the island from 1950s up until 1989. The isolation of the island must be one of the main reasons why Vis island preserved its natural beauty. That, and the fact that it is 40 nautical miles away from coast.
Your skipper will be picking you up on the agreed meeting point with one of our boats. The first ride is a bit long one. But don’t let it discourage you. All of the boats in our charter are new, fast and enjoyable. Bisevo island– the place of only 15 inhabitants is our first destination of the day. In the small bay on the south-east side of the island lies the Blue grotto, also known as the Blue cave.
The blue cave is one of the 26 caves on the Bisevo island, however, it is by far the most beautiful one in the entire Mediterranean sea. The cave was formed by the corrosion effect on the limestone caused by the Adriatic sea. The blue cave was originally only accessible trough the underwater entrance. This was the only natural entrance to the blue cave and it was only possible to reach it by diving underneath. An artificial entrance, the one we use today to enter the cave using small boats was created in 1884. This spectacular phenomenon is the best around 11 and 12 o’clock due to sunlight reflecting trough the water in the best possible angle, striking the white limestone bottom, and reflecting on the walls of the cave and bathing the cave into stunning aqua blue color.
After we finish Blue cave sightseeing, we will head for Komiza town on the island of Vis. Komiza is the birthplace of Croatian fishing tradition, so it is no wonder that the best Croatian fishermen are found in Komiza town. Komiza is truly amazing. Completely built in stone, the famous Dalmatian infrastructure offers lot in sightseeing department. You will have enough free time to take a walk and to have some coffee.
As our swimming destination we have chosen Smokova beach. Smokova beach is situated on the north-east side of the island of Vis in a lonely bay which used to belong to the Yugoslavian army. Therefor it was preserved from any type of construction. This is one of the rare pure sand beaches in the area, or in Croatia in general. This amazing bay is perfect for swimming and playing in the sand. However, the interesting thing is that there is a sunken world war 2 airplane wing on only 2 meters depth. This is by far our favorite beach, so we hope you will like it as well.
Next stop town Vis. Now is the time for lunch. Our skipeer will recomend you a restorant according to your wishes. They will be some free time to seigtseeing Vis and his perfect nature. Last stop is navy tunnel where you can explore army secrets of island Vis.
