The Hvar and Pakleni Islands day trip from Split is the easiest way to see the best of Hvar in a single day without relying on ferry timetables. We leave Split harbor in the morning on a shared speedboat or catamaran and cross the channel in just over an hour.
What you do
- Swim and snorkel in one of the Pakleni Islands coves, such as the Green Lagoon or the bays around Palmižana.
- Stop at the Red Rocks cliffs when the sea allows.
- Enjoy two to three hours of free time in Hvar Town to climb to the fortress, have lunch or stroll the main square.
- Return to Split in the late afternoon.
Who it is for
Perfect if you are staying in Split and want an island day, or if you arrive before your sailing week begins. Family-friendly; small children must wear a life jacket on the speedboat.
What to bring
Swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, cash for lunch and a light jacket for the crossing.
Best time
April to October, with daily departures in summer. In May, June and September the coves are quieter and the sea is usually calm.
