Blue Cave can only be approached by boat and sometimes it can happen that due to winds, waves and currents, the access to the cave is not possible. We can only know about the sea conditions and possibility of entrance on the exact same morning of the visit. In case we are lucky enough to get to see Blue Cave, we will arrive in Vis after lunch.
