Itinerary highlights
10.00am: boarding at Hvar Town Harbour
First stop at Borče Bay. Swimming, snorkelling, and lounging on the boat are the best things to do in this beautiful bay! Usually there are a few majestic yachts parked there, which only add to the bay's splendour. Your captain will anchor near the shore so you can swim to the beach and walk on it.
After a further 10-minute leisurely ride back on the boat, you will arrive in Malo Zaraće Bay. A charming little bay, with the village Zaraće high above it, hidden in the hills.
We'll move on to explore Red Rocks for cliff-jumping, snorkelling in the little rock crevices, swimming, and chilling. The red-coloured iron in the soil is what gives this place its name.
Nearby is Lučišća Bay. The bay is beautiful and the cliffs above it are tall, ancient and impressive.
Lunch will be at a family-run restaurant on the sea.
After lunch, we'll head over to Pakleni Islands for more snorkelling, swimming, and lounging – either at one of the many beach clubs, or simply enjoying time on the boat.
6.00pm: return to Hvar Town Harbour
