Detailed itinerary
1
Nestled along Hvar Island's northern coast, Pokrivenik Bay welcomes guests arriving by boat to its secluded shores. With its crystal-blue waters, guests can swim and snorkel after the boat anchors in the bay.
2
Little Blue Cave - One hidden spot, just a few minutes from Pokrivenik, is the Little Blue Cave, a natural marvel.
The boat will anchor in front of the Little Blue Cave, allowing travelers to acquire snorkeling equipment and swim inside. There are no queues or entrance fees.
3
After swimming on the island of Hvar, we will visit the most popular town on the island's north side, Jelsa. You will have an hour to explore the town and enjoy a coffee. Jelsa attracts over 5,000 visitors daily.
4
The smallest island you'll ever visit is our second destination, Zečevo Island. Zečevo is renowned for its turquoise waters in the bay, locally known as the Blue Lagoon. The island boasts an amazing waterfront Bungalow Bar and measures only 1.5km in length and 200m in width at its narrowest point.
5
Our last stop will be the third island, Brač. We will visit the hidden bay of Zirje, renowned for its tranquil turquoise waters and stunning natural surroundings.
Brač Island is very quiet, so you can expect to be the only ones renting a boat in the hidden bay, or perhaps encounter one or two others, ensuring you have the bay to yourselves.
