Itinerary

45 min

Pokrivenik Bay is one of the largest and most stunning bays on Hvar Island, famous for its dramatic cliffs, hidden caves, and crystal-clear waters. Sheltered and peaceful, it feels like a secret world away from the busy towns and tourist spots. Travelers can admire the impressive rock formations from the boat, swim in calm turquoise waters, or explore the natural cave carved into the cliffside. The bay is rarely crowded, making it perfect for a relaxing stop where you can fully enjoy the beauty of the Adriatic. With its untouched nature and breathtaking views, Pokrivenik is often a favorite surprise for guests who experience it for the first time.

30 min

The Little Blue Cave on the island of Hvar is a hidden gem known for its magical play of light and color. When the sunlight reflects through the entrance, the cave interior glows in vibrant shades of blue, creating a surreal atmosphere that’s perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Unlike the larger Blue Cave on Biševo, this spot is more intimate and less crowded, giving travelers the chance to enjoy its beauty in peace. The calm turquoise waters invite you to take a dip, explore with a mask, or simply admire the natural wonder from the boat.

45 min

Mala Stiniva Bay is a hidden paradise on the northern coast of Hvar, known for its dramatic cliffs, emerald waters, and untouched nature. Surrounded by steep rock walls, the bay offers a spectacular backdrop for swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing away from the crowds. For thrill-seekers, Mala Stiniva is one of the island’s best spots for cliff jumping — with natural rock ledges of varying heights, perfect for both beginners and more adventurous jumpers. The crystal-clear water below makes it safe and inviting, while the peaceful setting ensures a unique adrenaline experience. Whether you prefer to dive into adventure or simply enjoy the view from the boat, this bay always leaves guests amazed.

100 min

Vrboska, often called “Little Venice”, is one of the most picturesque towns on Hvar Island. Built around a narrow, winding bay, the town is connected by charming stone bridges that give it a Venetian feel. Travelers can stroll along the waterfront lined with stone houses, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, or visit the unique Fortress Church of St. Mary, built in the 16th century as both a place of worship and protection from pirates. Vrboska is also an ideal lunch stop during your tour. We highly recommend Trica Gardelin, a beloved local restaurant known for fresh seafood, traditional Dalmatian dishes, and beautiful views of the harbor. With its scenic canals, cultural heritage, and authentic island flavors, Vrboska is a highlight not to be missed.

45 min

Zečevo Island is a small paradise just off the coast of Hvar, famous for its Blue Lagoon and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Surrounded by untouched nature, it’s the perfect spot for swimming, snorkeling, or simply relaxing on the boat. Onshore, travelers can unwind at the laid-back bungalow beach bar, where chilled drinks, music, and a relaxed island vibe create the ultimate holiday atmosphere. Whether you prefer to dive into the lagoon, sunbathe on the rocks, or sip a cocktail with your feet in the sand, Zečevo offers a true island escape. It’s often the highlight of the day — combining natural beauty with a touch of fun and comfort.

Admission included60 min

Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn) Beach is one of the most famous beaches on the Adriatic and a true natural wonder. Known for its unique shape, the beach stretches like a golden tongue into the turquoise sea and constantly changes form depending on the wind and currents. Here, travelers can swim in crystal-clear waters, sunbathe on smooth white pebbles, or enjoy water activities such as snorkeling and paddle boarding. From the shore you’ll also have beautiful views of Hvar and the surrounding Adriatic islands. *Dock drop off on beach which costs 4€ pp is included in price

40 min

The hidden bays of Brač are among the island’s most beautiful secrets, far from the crowded beaches and busy ports. Nestled between dramatic cliffs and pine-covered slopes, these secluded coves offer calm turquoise waters, perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or simply relaxing in peace.

Best day ever!

We hired the Colnago 38 as a group of two families. We had the most incredible day. Our skipper and host, Ben and Petra, were amazing. We visited the most beautiful locations, and dined at a wonderful restaurant which our hosts recommended. If you hesitate to book, don’t. This day out is one of those moments in life you will never forget!
