The full Blue Cave + 5 island day, but the boat is exclusively yours. Same itinerary, same legendary stops — different freedom. You choose whether to linger an extra 30 minutes at Stiniva, whether to push on early to beat the Hvar lunch rush, whether to take the long way home through extra Pakleni bays. Same skippers, same fleet, same Blue Cave. Just no strangers on the deck.

The same Blue Cave day — two ways to do it
Most guests are best served by the shared group tour. If you're a family or group of 8 or more, do the math on private — it's often cheaper per person.
