Pokrivenik - Our tour starts in Makarska with a 35-minute panoramic cruise to our first stop, Veliki Pokrivenik bay on Hvar island.
It is one of the lesser-known and visited bays on Hvar island, decorated with impressive cliffs, beautiful pebble beaches and one hidden cave. What better way to explore this hidden treasure than while snorkelling. If snorkelling is not your thing, you can soak up the sun and the surrounding rocky landscape. - Mala Stiniva - Our next stop is Mala Stiniva bay, a picturesque stone bay with cliffs that vertically drop to the sea below. It is a stunning sight and a place that leaves no one indifferent. The sea is crystal-clear, and the cliffs are a great cliff-jumping spot.
- Jelsa - After enjoying some swimming and snorkelling fun in Mala Stiniva bay, we head to Jelsa town. In Jelsa you will have some free time for a coffee or to go sightseeing. Jelsa is an ancient town on Hvar island with numerous historical monuments that speak about its rich history.
- Hvar Island - Opposite Jelsa town, only a short cruise away is our next stop, the islet of ZeÄevo. ZeÄevo is an unpopulated islet in the archipelago of Hvar and it is protected as a significant landscape. It prides itself on untouched nature and crystal-clear turquoise seas. It is a perfect spot for snorkeling. There is also a beach bar that you can visit if you want to wind down a bit.

Very nice trip - We liked the trip very well – it was a great experience with beautiful nature and a relaxed atmosphere on board. The captain was very nice and knowledgeable, and helped to make us feel safe and well taken care of. We traveled as a couple and shared the boat with two other groups, making the trip social and enjoyable. All in all a memorable experience!

Perfect trip to Hvar island - The trip was perfect! Very good service. All the family members (including the 11 and 13 year-old boys) had a wonderful experience. I would strongly recommend it.

Amazing tour highly recommend - This was an amazing tour provided by the skipper Craig. We were a family of 5 with kids aged between 9-16 and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. We spotted dolphins on the way from makarska and on the way back. The swimming places and snorkelling spots were stunning & lovely to walk around Jelsa. I would highly recommend Craig and the tour company, we had a day we will never forget. Definitely the highlight of our holiday. Thank
You

Beautiful tour and gorgeous locations - Josipa and our skipper took us on a beautiful and well organised tour of the gems in and around the island of Hvar. The speedboat was very luxurious and comfortable and our day was a perfect one. Our hosts sorted us with water and equipment for scuba diving and informed us of the hidden locations we stopped at. Would highly recommend this tour, the perfect amount of time was given at each location.

Unforettable expirience - We came from Greece with my girlfriend. Was amazing experience exploring places that there was no other way to visit and see, but only by boat. The service was extremely good and the crew as well, so friendly and warm. We definitely recommend to try it and we are sure you will not regret it. We have it on our future plans to come again.

It was such a nice laid... - It was such a nice laid back boat experience. Our captain was great and allowed us to swim for longer than planned because we were enjoying it so much. The water was gorgeous and the scenery amazing. My only critique is that the boat we were on was a bit small for the amount of people the experience allows. We were a bit crammed but overall it was wonderful.

Beautiful tour in strong waves - The tour is beautiful! Overall a great experience. However, the swell has made us very hard to ride borderline despite this strength. The boat was relatively small. Our guide was very nice and always tried to make it good despite the wind.
Rather book a tour in the morning, the sea is usually calmer.
With small children and some kind of physical limitations, it would have been nothing.
The spots and the timing are good.
