1. What makes the Blue Cave special?
The Blue Cave, one of the most beautiful caves on the Adriatic coast, was discovered in 1884 by Baron Eugen Ransonnet. This Viennese painter likely had no idea that his discovery would one day attract thousands of visitors to Biševo Island each year.
Its captivating blue light is a result of a natural phenomenon. The light breaks through the water and reflects off the sea bottom and onto the inside walls, creating magnificent blue silhouettes.
2. How to get to the Blue Cave from Brač Island?
The ride to the Blue Cave takes about an hour and a half and is accessible only by private speedboats. The best way to visit is by group or private tour from Brač.
