About the experience

Enjoy a spectacular 8-hour speedboat tour along the south coast of Hvar Island, one of Croatia’s most beautiful coastal regions. Departing from Hvar Town, this tour is perfect for travelers who want to discover hidden beaches, dramatic cliffs, and crystal-clear swimming spots.

Your adventure begins with a scenic cruise past the famous Pakleni Islands, where small islands and turquoise lagoons create a breathtaking view. The speedboat then heads toward the southern coastline, known for its rugged cliffs and secluded coves.

The first stop of the day is the peaceful Milna / Velo Borče Lagoon, a calm bay with incredibly clear water ideal for snorkeling and swimming.

Next, you will visit the dramatic Zaraće Cliffs, where towering limestone formations surround two small hidden bays. The striking scenery makes this location one of the most photogenic spots on Hvar’s coast.

The final destination is the famous Dubovica Beach, a picturesque bay known for its turquoise water and traditional Dalmatian stone house overlooking the sea. It is the perfect place to relax before returning to Hvar Town.

This full-day excursion offers an incredible opportunity to explore the natural beauty of Hvar Island by sea.

    We booked the boat at short notice. Everything went perfectly. The free parking lot is not far from the pier. We were greeted in a friendly manner and instructed by a member of staff in German. The ladder for the boat must be attached to the side. This is very unfavorable, since she has no firm footing here. The women could therefore not use the ladder!

    We were a little late to get going after our agreed start but that’s ok. When on board we had Jacob (from Zagreb) as our skipper. He was incredible, friendly and customised our tour to visit the red rocks and then work our way to Pakleni islands. We had an incredible time island and beach hopping and even showing us the best locations on the islands for coffee and private swimming. He was accommodating to requests for stops throughout. He even took us back to our favourite beach to finish! Would highly recommend, especially with Jacob, as we had a super memorable time. Thanks!

    Everything went smoothly. The boat was fine, and fast enough to visit the south side of Hvar and the Paklani islands. A cool box half full of ice was also provided. Handy because you can buy a picnic in the nearby supermarket before departure.

    Tonchi's boat was not clean at all and when we arrived at the pick-up point the boat had not yet arrived. Supposedly there was the cooler and two snorkeling equipment included in the price, however the cooler came without ice (they asked me for 10kn) and there was no trace of the goggles and tubes on the boat. The boat is fine for 2 people but for 4 and a skipper it is very small, the sea was a bit choppy (not much) and the journey was not pleasant at all due to the weight. The truth is that I would not recommend this service since I rented another boat in Dubrovnik for the same price and there was no comparison. If I would like to highlight Denis, the skipper of the boat, who was charming and very kind to us all the time and who is not to blame for any of the comments said above, since the boat was not his and the service was contracted through Tonchi, he just had to drive it and he did very well under the circumstances. The boat from Tonchi was not very clean also ice box was included in the price but they asked me 10kn for ice which never told me before. 2 snorkel gear was also included however there was no any snorkel gear available in the boat. The boat is Ok for 2 people but not for 4 people + 1 skipper... I wouldnt recommend this service. However Denis the skipper was very kind and nice with us, very professional.

    Today was the most perfect day in Hvar. Our skipper Anthony was so professional and courteous. He had great suggestions for where to go and we had a wonderful day crushing around Hvar and the Pakleni islands. The boat was excellent and had everything we needed. Departure and arrival were effortless! Highly recommend!
