Skip the crowded group boats and explore the best of Vis and the Pakleni Islands at your own pace, with a boat and local skipper all to yourselves.
We are one of the oldest still-active boating companies on Hvar, and our skippers grew up on these waters — they know when to reach the Blue Cave on Biševo to avoid the longest lines and where to anchor for the clearest snorkeling.
In one day you'll see the silver-blue glow inside the Blue Cave, swim and snorkel in the Green Cave, admire Stiniva Cove — voted Europe's most beautiful beach — and jump off the boat into the turquoise lagoon at Budikovac Island. We finish at Palmižana, the most popular bay in the Pakleni Islands, for lunch at one of its famous restaurants.
Because the tour is private, the itinerary is yours: linger where you love it, add a stop in Vis town or Komiža, or skip anything. Snorkeling gear is on board, an underwater GoPro is available on request, and the Bluetooth stereo means the soundtrack is yours too.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Out meeting point is 50 meters from the main port where lines from Split & Dubrovnik docks when arriving to Hvar. You will see a statue of a fisherman right in front of our location.
Itinerary
-
1
Drop anchor in the shallow turquoise Green Lagoon between Budikovac and its islet — one of the best swimming and snorkeling spots in the Adriatic. Jump straight off the boat into crystal-clear water.
30 minutes • Admission ticket free -
2Green Cave
Swim and snorkel inside the Green Cave on Ravnik Island, where a hole in the roof sends a beam of emerald light into the water. Feeling adventurous? There's a spot to jump from the rocks. Entrance fee EUR 12 per person, paid on site.
30 minutes • Admission ticket not included -
3Stiniva Cove
Voted Europe's most beautiful beach in 2016, Stiniva is a pebble cove enclosed by towering cliffs that part just wide enough for a boat to peek in. We anchor outside the cove so you can swim in or take photos from the water.
30 minutes • Admission ticket free -
4Blue Cave
The magical Blue Cave on Biševo Island is the highlight of the tour. We dock nearby and you board the official small boat into the cave, where sunlight reflects off the seabed and fills the cave with glowing silver-blue light. Time at this stop includes ticket lines, which can be long in peak season — your skipper will time the visit to keep the wait as short as possible. Entrance fee EUR 24 per person, paid on site.
1 hour 30 minutes • Admission ticket not included -
5Vis
Before heading to the Pakleni Islands, choose an optional stop on Vis — espresso on the Riva in Vis town, a wander through the fishing village of Komiža, or a visit to a hidden WWII-era military tunnel. Your skipper will suggest what fits your day best.
30 minutes • Admission ticket free -
6Mlini Beach
As we cruise through the Pakleni Islands you'll pass Mlini beach, famous for its brilliant turquoise water — a beautiful photo moment from the boat. Want to swim here instead? Just ask your skipper; on a private tour the route is yours.
30 minutes • Admission ticket free -
7Palmizana Botanical Garden
We end the island-hopping at Palmižana bay on St. Klement, the most popular anchorage in the Pakleni Islands, framed by the Meneghello estate's botanical gardens. This is the lunch stop — its beachfront restaurants (Bacchus, Zori, Laganini, Toto's) are some of the best-known in Dalmatia. Reservations recommended in July and August; ask us and we'll arrange it.
1 hour 30 minutes • Admission ticket free
