Our Vis Island holidays & tours
Our Vis holidays are like a well-packed suitcase. Stuffed generously with adventure, but also very well-organised so that you can relax and enjoy yourself. This beautiful island off Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast is just 90-minutes by ferry from Split. Active travellers, especially families, love it here, with everything from sea kayaking to snorkelling, paddleboarding, beach yoga and slacklining on offer, and comfortable, traditional stone villas to return to every afternoon. Our Vis tours support the island community, whether that’s taking you to family-run taverns for dinner, hiring local guides and instructors for your daytime activities, or organising beach cleans when necessary. It all ensures you have a much more rewarding and culturally immersive stay than you would get from just relaxing around the pool at a faceless resort.

Vis Island map & highlights
Vis Town and Komiza, the main towns on the island, sit on two opposite harbours about a 15 minute drive apart. You can reach Vis from Split on the ferry and it generally takes between an hour and a half to two hours and a half, depending on whether you take the speedy catamaran or the slower ferry, to reach the port at Vis Town. In high season, the boat departs three or four times a day. Once you’re on Vis, you could make your way around the island by scooter or bike, or by local taxis and boats.
Blue cave
1. Blue cave
We know, we know, lots of islands boast a ‘blue cave’. But at Biševo you might get it all to yourself. This tiny island off the coast of Vis has an amazing cave that glows an extra-terrestrial blue. There are boat trips to take you. There’s also the Green Cave you can visit. You’ll find it on Ravnik, a slip of an islet that’s an easy kayak from Vis.
Komiza
2. Komiza
On the opposite shore from Vis Town, Komiza makes a pleasant destination for a cycle trip. Its quiet harbour is peppered with little fishing boats, and there are lots of waterfront restaurants, but the town quickly gives way to terraces of vineyards. In September, a music festival, Goulash Disko, enlivens the village and brings curious new visitors.
Remote islands
3. Remote islands
The tiny little islands around Vis provide more than just focal points in your camera’s viewfinder. You can take day trips from Vis over to the hidden beaches and caves of diminutive Brusnik, little Budikovac which has a wonderful lagoon for snorkelling and swimming, and tiny Ravnik off the coast of the main island: your own treasure islands.
Stiniva beach
4. Stiniva beach
The chalice-shaped Stiniva beach has a narrow entrance that would be near-impossible to spot from the sea – except for the flotilla of boats anchored outside. Visitors who squeeze through a teeny-tiny gap in the rock will find a bowl-shaped cove with a dazzling beach. It’s hard to get to... but worth it. Take a water taxi or take a short but steep hike from the road.
Vis Town
5. Vis Town
Ferries from Split come into Vis Town and the calm harbour is most people’s first impression of Vis Island. It’s a charming bay. An attractive church and monastery sits on a peninsula at one end of the harbour, and Venetian-style 17th century houses make up Kut, the crumbly old town. A handful of restaurants and bars offer dinner, with local produce featuring prominently on the menu.
Vineyards
6. Vineyards
Some 20 percent of Vis Island’s farmland is devoted to viticulture. The neat terraces start to burst with grapes in summer and are ready to harvest in the early autumn. If you want to drink local wine look out for plavac mali – a common Croatian grape variety that makes a fine glass of red. Agro-tourism is taking off on Vis Island; visit a vineyard and you can buy direct from the grower.
