The Pakleni Islands are a small archipelago of pine trees and clear coves a few minutes from Hvar town. With a private boat and a local skipper you explore them with no fixed schedule and no crowds.
Suggested route
- Departure from Hvar harbour.
- Swims in coves such as Palmižana, Ždrilca or the Mlini lagoon.
- Lunch stop at a beach restaurant in Palmižana or Ždrilca (at your own expense).
- Optionally, the Red Rocks (Crvene stijene) on Hvar’s south coast.
- Return to Hvar harbour.
Who it is for
Couples, families and groups of friends of up to 8–10 people who want privacy and flexibility. The skipper knows the best anchorages for the day’s wind. No licence or experience needed.
What to bring
- Swimwear, towel and sunscreen.
- Money for the restaurant on the islands.
- A small speaker if you want your own music (at a respectful volume).
Best time to go
May to September. In July and August book well ahead. Mornings bring calmer water and quieter coves. The price is per boat, not per person, so the bigger your group, the better the value.
Included
- Private boat with skipper
- Fuel
- Water and soft drinks
- Snorkelling gear
