Detailed itinerary

Our first stop is Green cave on the islet Ravnik, known because of its gorgeous colour where you will get a chance to swim inside and enjoy the emerald light show. Our skippers will provide interesting stories and fun facts about the places you’re about to see so you can learn something new to tell to your friends beside the natural beauties.

We are heading to another island – Bisevo, to the most popular attraction, the Blue Cave – one of the wonders of the Adriatic coast. After reaching Biševo (Blue Cave island) we will disembark from our speedboat into the Blue Cave’s shuttle craft which will take us directly inside. You will have enough time to take pictures and enjoy silveryblue color which is created by the sun as it bathes the inside of the cave through an opening in the roof and is reflected back by the sandy surface below.

Stop 3

Another stop of the trip is a small hidden bay Stiniva Cove. As you jump from our speedboat into the sea, you can take a short swim through the Stiniva gates and find yourself inside the Stiniva cove surrounded by magnificent rocks.

Stop 4

Next, we’re stopping at Budikovac Island — also known as the Blue Lagoon. Get ready to dive into a paradise of crystal-clear turquoise waters surrounded by untouched nature. This peaceful lagoon is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or just floating and soaking up the sun. It’s one of those places that truly captures the magic of the Adriatic!

Stop 5

The last stop are Pakleni islands, chain of islands located right opposite the town of Hvar.
We’ll stop at one of the archipelago’s most popular bays, Vinogradišce at Palmižana, where you can have a seaside lunch at some of the best restaurants in the Adriatic! After lunch, you can swim, relax or sunbathe. Happy with all the beautiful places you saw during the day, we are heading back to Hvar at sunset.
