Daily itinerary
Times are approximate. Your skipper adapts the route to your pace and the weather.
Meet your skipper at the Hvar waterfront boat harbour (near Janka Zazjala 18). Safety briefing, bottled water and ice-box loaded. Short 20-minute cruise along the south coast of Hvar to our first stop at Red Rocks.
Iconic fiery-red cliffs on the southern coast of Hvar dropping straight into deep turquoise water. Anchor under the rock face, snorkel along the wall, and jump from the ledges, the signature spot of this tour.
A short hop east of Red Rocks brings us to Bilo Idro, the hidden bay at Sveta Nedjelja and home to one of Croatia's most unusual wineries. Bottles of local Plavac Mali are aged in submerged cages among the rocks, a true underwater wine cellar. Stepping into the cellar is free. Tasting and buying native Hvar wines (Plavac Mali, Pošip) and grappa is paid directly to the winery on the spot, cash or card.
Two hidden pebble coves, Velo Zaraće and Malo Zaraće, tucked under the same towering cliff. We anchor off Velo Zaraće and swim across to Malo Zaraće. Crystal-clear shallow water and stone houses above, one of the most authentic swimming spots on Hvar.
Shallow sandy-bottomed bay on the south side of Hvar, sheltered from the wind, perfect for a relaxed swim. Right above the beach is Notos Beach Club, where you can grab an optional lunch on your own (food and drinks paid on the spot).
Main bay of the Pakleni archipelago. Pine-shaded beach, botanical garden and legendary konobas (Meneghello, Toto's, Zori). Anchorage on the south side, sheltered and clear.
Final swim at Mlini Beach inside the Ždrilca strait between two Pakleni islands. Calm sheltered water, fine pebbles, pine shade. The perfect last stop before heading back to Hvar.
Relaxing cruise back to the Hvar waterfront boat harbour, about 15 minutes from Palmižana. A golden-hour arrival to end the day.
