Vis Island Walking Tour
Personalized Service
Let our experienced travel advisors plan your perfect adventure

Of all of Croatia’s islands, Vis may be the most intriguing. Set deeper into the Adriatic Sea than its neighbours, Vis was kept off-limits to the general public until the Yugoslav army abandoned it in 1989. This has kept its stunning natural charms intact, with plenty of space to explore away from the summer crowds.

Arrive in Split, where you’ll receive an introductory briefing on the route and collect your information kit. Then hop on a ferry for the journey to Vis island! Once you’re there, get started right away on a hike that takes you west to Komiža. This historic town offers plenty of charm and a beautiful sheltered location within a broad bay. Your next day offers a circular route that explores the coasts, with glorious views at every turn. There’s an option to visit the Blue Cave on Biševo Island – a particularly magical sight! The third day brings you back to Vis town, past the slopes of Mount Hum and down to the sands of Stiniva Beach, one of Croatia’s best. Wrap up the tour by taking the ferry back to Split, where new adventures await.

Frequently asked questions

How hard is the Vis Island Walking Tour?

We rate this tour as a 2/5. The trail surfaces are easily navigable, especially during the summer when they will most likely be dry. The total duration of the tour is also on the shorter side. However, each day involves relatively long hikes, and so a reasonable level of fitness is required. Good shoes or boots are essential, and previous hiking experience is recommended.

Do I need a visa to travel to Croatia?

Check with your local country about visa requirements. You could also try this website, though you should verify with your government.

Are meals included on the Vis Island Walking Tour?

3 breakfasts are included as part of your accommodation bookings.

Do I need insurance?

Yes, it is mandatory to have health and medical insurance to join this trip, and your insurance should cover hiking, as well as any optional activities you plan to do. Get your Travel Insurance.

Fly into the Split Airport (SPU). From here, central Split is approximately 30 minutes by taxi. There are public transit options, including an airport shuttle that stops at the Split central bus station.

Is the Vis Island Walking Tour guided?

No. You will be provided with all necessary information to complete your self-guided tour. Self-guided tours offer great flexibility in your day-to-day, but you should be comfortable with a higher degree of independence than you’d have on a guided tour.

Where does the Vis Island Walking Tour end?

The tour beings and ends in the city of Split. You can take a taxi, bus, or train to the Split Airport (SPU).

Do I need special vaccines to travel to Croatia?
