Bol, Hvar & Pakleni islands Coastal Journey
A refined island-hopping experience combining the elegance of Hvar with the natural beauty of Croatia's most iconic beach.
The day
The Adriatic, beyond the postcards
The Bol, Hvar & Pakleni Coastal Journey pairs three of Dalmatia's most recognisable places in a single day: Zlatni Rat, the golden-horn beach on Brač; Hvar town; and the Pakleni archipelago. Route-wise it's the middle ground between our shorter Blue Lagoon trip and the long Blue Cave day.
Good for families who want an iconic beach stop, small groups on a celebration day, and anyone who's seen Split from the land and now wants to see it from the water.
Route
Where the day takes you
Zlatni Rat, Bol
Morning stop at Croatia's most famous beach — the golden horn that changes shape with the currents. Anchor in the bay for a swim or head ashore for a coffee in Bol town.
Brač coastline
Coastal cruise along Brač's south-facing cliffs — dramatic limestone, hidden coves, a couple of private swim stops.
Hvar town
Afternoon arrival at Hvar's harbour. Time for a walk through the old town, a drink on the waterfront, or a peek at the Spanish Fortress views.
Pakleni Islands
Late afternoon in the archipelago. Anchor in a sheltered bay for a final swim before turning back to Split.

What guests say about this tour
An unforgettable experience and a perfect day at sea!
The speedboat ride was absolutely amazing — fast, comfortable, and full of positive energy! We visited three beautiful islands, each with crystal-clear sea and wonderful spots for swimming and relaxing. Everything went exactly as agreed, relaxed yet professional. The skipper Čedo was fantastic, friendly, and showed us the best hidden coves. This was definitely the highlight of our vacation and a trip to remember.
Boat day made for everyone.
My best friend and I had a girls trip with our 18-year-old daughters. We were recommended this company by a colleague. From minute one it was wonderful. Captain Cedo and Dynko were attentive, welcoming, and part of the experience — it was really whatever we wanted it to be. We went to all sorts of locations to soak up the beauty of Croatia. A wonderfully relaxed and adventurous day feeling like we were part of Croatia. Highly highly recommended.
One of the absolute highlights of our trip to Croatia!
The boat crew were not just professional but genuinely fun and friendly. They shared interesting facts about each place we stopped at and really added a personal touch to the whole experience.
