Highlights
-
Pokrivenik - Our tour starts in Makarska with a 35-minute panoramic cruise to our first stop, Veliki Pokrivenik bay on Hvar island.
It is one of the lesser-known and visited bays on Hvar island, decorated with impressive cliffs, beautiful pebble beaches and one hidden cave. What better way to explore this hidden treasure than while snorkelling. If snorkelling is not your thing, you can soak up the sun and the surrounding rocky landscape. - Mala Stiniva - Our next stop is Mala Stiniva bay, a picturesque stone bay with cliffs that vertically drop to the sea below. It is a stunning sight and a place that leaves no one indifferent. The sea is crystal-clear, and the cliffs are a great cliff-jumping spot.
- Jelsa - After enjoying some swimming and snorkelling fun in Mala Stiniva bay, we head to Jelsa town. In Jelsa you will have some free time for a coffee or to go sightseeing. Jelsa is an ancient town on Hvar island with numerous historical monuments that speak about its rich history.
- Hvar Island - Opposite Jelsa town, only a short cruise away is our next stop, the islet of ZeÄevo. ZeÄevo is an unpopulated islet in the archipelago of Hvar and it is protected as a significant landscape. It prides itself on untouched nature and crystal-clear turquoise seas. It is a perfect spot for snorkeling. There is also a beach bar that you can visit if you want to wind down a bit.

Simply incredible - We booked this tour one night before because our original excursion for that day was cancelled. We were very positively surprised by this excursion we chose in a very short notice. The skipper, Mario, was a professional, very nice and knew his things.
Fantastic trip, I definitely recommend!

Amazing tour - We had a really good time exploring the hidden parts of the island, the place was amazing, crystal clear water and amazing landscape. We attended as a couple and enjoyed every part of it. The captain was very nice and professional. We got snorkelling equipment, he even offered us to take videos with his gopro. Would absolutely recommend.

Best day of our trip - Our best day- we had originally scheduled a trip but due to weather they had to cancel. They were really great about communicating and rescheduled for another day. I was so happy we did. My 7 year old loved it as it was his first snorkeling experience. It was heaven to get away from the crowds in August !

Fantastic! - We had an amazing time on this trip. First, we went to an island for snorkelling. Then on to Jelsa, a pretty town with delicious ice cream. Then 2 further areas for swimming & snorkelling. Very picturesque and the wind from the boat cools you down on a hot day. Don’t forget sun screen. As there’s a nice breeze on the boat it’s easy to forget how hot it is and get burned. The captain has snorkelling equipment and water to use.

A great day - Brilliant day! Good mix of opportunities to swim & snorkel. Plus a stop a Jelsa for food and a little walk. The last stop was a little disappointing as there was some sort of private party and the beach bar didn't ready for visitors. Still overa a great day that we really enjoyed
