The Blue Cave on Bi\u0161evo, off the coast near Vis, is only accessible by boat and only at its best in the hour or two around midday, when sunlight through an underwater opening lights the water inside from below.<\/p>\r\n

Public tour boats run to the cave on a fixed schedule regardless of conditions, often arriving well outside the short daily window when the light effect is strongest.<\/p>\r\n

Entry to the cave itself is by a smaller rowboat, ducking through a low natural opening barely wide enough to pass.<\/p>\r\n
