Hvar & Pakleni Islands: Kayak Rental with Snorkeling GearYou’ll start right from Hvar’s harbor with all your kayak gear sorted — life jackets, dry bags for your stuff, even snorkeling masks if you want them. Paddle across clear water to Pakleni Islands at your own pace, stop at quiet beaches or swim under shady pines, then head back whenever you’re ready. It’s freedom with just enough guidance to feel safe.
Hvar Island Self-Guided E-Bike Tour: Explore Malo GrabljeIf you want to see a quieter side of Hvar—old villages, secret paths, and open views—this self-guided e-bike tour is for you. Go at your own pace, stop where you like, and soak up the island’s real character away from the crowds.
Wine Tasting in Hvar: 4 Courses at a Hilltop WineryA wine tasting activity in Hvar where you taste 4 natural wines paired with homemade local snacks, sitting on a hilltop veranda with views across the Dalmatian coast. The winery provides private transport from Hvar town, an English-speaking guide, and time to explore the property between tastings. The total experience runs 3 hours, including the scenic drive through lavender fields.Is it for me?Book this if you're staying in Hvar town without a rental car—the private pickup and drop-off mean you don't arrange transport yourself, and the 3-hour window fits a free afternoon without eating into a full day of exploring the island.
Snorkeling in Hvar: Kayak the Pakleni IslandsGuided kayaking and snorkeling around Hvar's Pakleni Islands, a chain of 14 pine-covered islets about 10 km long with numerous bays and beaches. You paddle modern sit-on-top kayaks (single or tandem) with a certified local guide who teaches you the skills to feel safe in the water, chooses the route based on your group's level and the weather, and shows you the best snorkeling spots for underwater flora and fauna. Half-day (4 hours) or full-day (6 hours) options depart daily at 10 a.m. from Bonj Beach. Life jackets, dry bags, snorkeling masks, all kayak gear and a 10% restaurant discount on the islands are included; groups stay under 15 people.Is it for me?Book the half-day if you want a morning or afternoon on the water without committing your whole day; the full-day suits anyone who wants to paddle farther, explore more bays, and spend longer snorkeling at multiple spots. Both options work for beginners — the guide adjusts the route and pace to your group's level — so choose based on how much time you want to spend paddling and how far you want to go.
Sea kayak tour Hvar to Pakleni Islands: Snorkel & swimA half-day sea kayak tour from Hvar to the Pakleni Islands with an English-speaking guide, where you paddle through sheltered coves, snorkel in vibrant marine spots, and swim at unspoiled beaches like Mlini or Jerolim. Kayak, paddle, life vest, snorkeling equipment and dry bags are included; the pace suits beginners and experienced paddlers alike, and children from age 2 are welcome.Is it for me?Small groups keep the pace relaxed and the bays less crowded than larger tour boats bring—ideal if you want to paddle and snorkel without feeling rushed or surrounded, and if you'd rather move under your own paddle than sit and watch the islands pass.
Blue and Green Cave Speedboat Tour Snorkel Four IslandsA 7-hour speedboat tour from Hvar Town visits the Blue Cave, Green Cave, Stiniva Beach, Budikovac Island and the Pakleni Islands with snorkeling equipment and an English-speaking guide included. The boat departs Hvar Town and returns there the same day; you swim and snorkel at each stop, entering sea caves lit by reflected sunlight and exploring turquoise lagoons. Bottled water is provided; food and drinks are not.Is it for me?The tour runs for 7 hours on the water with swimming at every stop, so it suits travelers comfortable with a full day of boat time and multiple water entries. If you want to see sea caves and island lagoons but do not want to rent your own boat or navigate the Adriatic yourself, the guide and the fixed itinerary handle both.
Hvar Blue & Green Cave Tour: Stiniva Beach, Palmižana LunchYou’ll speed across the Adriatic from Hvar to swim in Vis’s Green Cave, float beneath Stiniva’s cliffs, and watch sunlight turn Biševo’s Blue Cave electric blue—all with a local guide who knows every cove. Lunch at Palmižana Bay lets you unwind before heading back salty-haired and sun-warmed.
Hvar Wine Tasting: Small Group, Winery Visit & TastingA small-group wine tasting on Hvar begins with pickup from your hotel or the ferry port, then a scenic drive across the island to the Dalmatian region's most important wine area. You visit a working winery with a guide, taste local wines including Plavac Mali—the indigenous grape of the region—and learn how the island's strong wind and sun shape the harvest. The experience lasts 2.5 hours and includes the driver, tasting, and olive oil sampling.Is it for me?Book the morning departure if you want the tasting before lunch, or the afternoon slot if you prefer a late-day activity—both work the same way, and the pickup from your hotel or ferry port means you don't need to find the winery or arrange your own ride across the island.
Hvar: Island Tour with Wine & Olive Oil TastingYou’ll wander Hvar’s winding old roads, pause at hilltop views above town, sample rare wines and herb-infused olive oils inside a family cellar in Jelsa, and meet locals who love sharing their stories as much as their harvests. Expect easy pickup and drop-off plus those small sensory moments that stay with you long after you leave.
Hvar Wine Tour: Private Tasting at Duboković WineryA private wine tour of Hvar that starts with a scenic drive through inland villages, lavender fields, and the protected Greek-era settlement of Hora, then moves to Duboković winery in Jelsa for a tasting of award-winning red wines and macerated olive oils in the winemaker's family cellar. The tour includes hotel pickup, an English-speaking guide, wine tasting, bottled water, and three hours on the island. Minimum age is 18.Is it for me?The guide speaks English throughout, so you follow the island's history and winemaking story without translation. This works for anyone who wants to understand what they're tasting instead of just moving through a list.
