Detailed itinerary
1
Our tour starts in Makarska with a 40-minute panoramic cruise to our first stop, a small luminous cave that is hidden in Hvar island's rocky cliffs. You can swim into the narrow opening and see the beauty that the cave and sun's rays create.
2
Our next stop is 20 minutes away. Mala Stiniva bay is 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 for those that are seeking for an adrenaline rush.
3
After enjoying cliff jumping, 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 for a short stroll. Jelsa is an ancient town on Hvar island with numerous historical monuments that speak about its rich history.
4
Opposite Jelsa town, only a short cruise away is our next stop, the islet of Zečevo. Zečevo 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 snorkelling.
5
Take in the views on a 30-minute cruise hopping from Hvar to Brač island. Our last stop is a secluded bay on the island of Brač, offering a unique and tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle.
