The Experience
You leave Split in the morning on a boat with a professional crew and head first to Zlatni Rat, the most photographed beach on the Adriatic. The beach is a long gravel spit that shifts direction as the wind and waves move it — you'll see the cape point one way, then another. Time there is yours to swim, sunbathe or walk the shoreline before the boat moves on.
Hvar island comes next, the most popular island in Croatia and now a major party destination, but the real swimming happens at the Pakleni Islands just offshore. These small islands hide the best beaches of the Hvar archipelago, and the boat stops at Palmižana and Carpe Diem — both packed with swimmers in summer. Snorkeling gear is on board, and you can use it at any of the stops. The crew provides bottled water throughout the day.
On the return to Split, there's a surprise stop at Stomorska on Šolta island, a small charming town with a classical Mediterranean feel, ideal for a short coffee break or a walk before the tour ends. The whole day runs 10 hours, and docking fees and fuel are already covered in the price.
What’s included
Snorkeling equipment, bottled water, docking fees and fuel surcharge; a professional crew and a live English-speaking guide throughout the day.
