Highlights
  • HvarBoats - Departing at 10:30 from Križna Luka bay, either from our office or in front of the HvarBoats tourist agency in the main port. As we set off to our first destination
  • Green Cave - Enjoy the fresh sea air during a pleasant 35-minute ride to our first stop, the Green Cave. Our skipper will dock the boat in front of the cave. After purchasing tickets (8 EUR in low season, 12 EUR in high season), you can either enter the cave with a small port authority boat or swim inside.
  • Stiniva Cove - Voted the most beautiful European beach in 2016. Our skipper will anchor the boat at the entrance, giving you about an hour of free time for swimming, diving, and sunbathing. You can reach Stiniva by swimming (20 meters) or using a small rubber boat. There is a bar on the beach where you can relax with a drink.
  • Cave Bisevo - Upon arrival at the Blue Cave, our skipper will dock the speed boat and assist you in purchasing tickets (12 EUR in low season, 18 EUR in high season). While waiting for your turn to enter the cave, you can visit the bar for refreshments. A small motorboat with a 12-passenger capacity will take you to the cave entrance, which is just 2 minutes away. The entrance is quite small, so you’ll need to bow your head while entering. You’ll spend about 15 minutes inside, where you can take photos and videos of the blue-reflecting sea and the silver shine on other objects. After the visit, you’ll return to the port where our skipper will be waiting.
  • Budikovac Island - Known as a nautical paradise, the lagoon is sheltered from winds by the smaller islands of Mali Budikovac and Sanak, located just outside the main beach. The lagoon features the beautiful Budikovac pebble beach and the smaller but equally stunning Perna beach on the other side. The turquoise and clear waters will tempt you to dive right in! Interestingly, only one person lives on the island for most of the year, tending to a vegetable garden and an animal farm. This person also owns a restaurant that serves Dalmatian cuisine during the season.
  • Vinogradishće - Palmižana sandy beach is located on the largest Pakleni island, Sveti Klement. With no cars and hidden in one of the safest Adriatic bays, Palmižana is an ideal retreat for those looking to escape city life. Here, you can swim and enjoy nature’s harmony. Savor Dalmatian cuisine at one of the many seaside restaurants like Bacchus, Totos, Zori, and Laganini cocktail bar, or take a walk along numerous paths surrounded by the scents of the Mediterranean. Rosemary, sage, basil, lavender, cactus, and various exotic plants make Palmižana a little eco-paradise.

Ci-ci - Ci-ci was a great host who cared deeply about his guests. With his witty remarks and handsome smile I quickly fell victim to his charm. What stood out to me most of all was his surprising ability to sing, while seeming quiet at first he revealed an angelic voice. With his wonderful singing my beach experience was enhanced and I was able to truly enjoy myself. I highly recommend this wonderful man.
