Hvar & Brač PRIVATE Speedboat: Cave, Blue Lagoon & Hidden Bays

Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Pokrivenik is one of the most beautiful deep bays on the north side of Hvar, naturally sheltered from the winds and surrounded by steep green hills that make it feel like a true jungle bay. With just a few small houses by the sea, it is a peaceful and hidden spot perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing away from the crowds.

   30 min

2. The Little Blue Cave is one of Hvar’s hidden natural gems. Travelers can swim inside with snorkeling equipment and enjoy the beautiful blue light reflections that make this cave so special. With no entrance fee and usually no crowds, this stop feels much more relaxed, personal, and authentic than larger cave attractions.

   25 min

3. Discover Mala Stiniva, a hidden bay near Jelsa with naturally shaped stone cliffs, striking turquoise-green sea, and an old ruined stone house that gives this cove a unique and unforgettable character. It is a perfect stop for swimming, relaxing, and for adventurous guests who want to enjoy one of the area’s most popular cliff jumping spot.

   40 min

4. FREE TIME (Lunch) VRBOSKA town on island HVAR, often called the "Little Venice" of Hvar, charms visitors with its narrow winding canal, stone bridges, and traditional Dalmatian houses. Nestled in a peaceful bay, this picturesque fishing village blends natural beauty with rich cultural heritage. ⛵ Restaurant - Trica Grdelin (check it out on tripadvisor) - from our local standpoint it is one of the best value for money Hvar can offer you with increadible food and stuff Beach - Vrboska Soline (or exploration and the coffee in the town) - depends of the desires by the group

   2.5 h

5. ZEČEVO Island – BLUE LAGOON in front of this tiny uninhabited island near Vrboska is a hidden gem with approachable only with boat. Ideal for snorkeling, floating, and soaking up the peaceful island vibes. ️

   45 min

6. Žirje is a hidden bay on Brač with calm turquoise water, a peaceful atmosphere, and a quiet, untouched character that feels far from the busier island spots. Because this part of Brač stays less visited, it is the perfect stop for swimming, relaxing, and enjoying a more private side of the Adriatic.

• 5Excellent tour

  Excellent communication with Petar prior to our tour. On arrival we were introduced to our skipper Antonio who was very helpful throughout our tour. The boat was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed visiting the islands and swimming from the boat in beautiful bays. Lunch was booked by Antonio and it was very enjoyable. The tour was great value for money and we would highly recommend Palladium.

• 5Private Boat tour to Hvar and Brac

  Our skipper was welcoming and informative. Traveling by boat and swimming in the hidden coves of Hvar and Brac was the highlight of our trip to Croatia.

• 5A Restful Day of Visiting the Islands!

  We did the hidden bays full day tour which included stopping off for a little wander and an ice cream as well as a really nice lunch which the whole family loved. Plenty of snorkelling and jumping off the boat for everyone and all totally at our pace. I found the company really professional and good to communicate with and would totally recommend them for a great day of rest and relaxation. We were staying in the hotel Berulia in Brela and were able to start and end the tour in BAska Voda harbour(rather than Markarskar ?) for a small amount of extra which meant we could walk to and fro the boat from the hotel very easily no taxi needed.

• 5Best experience ever!!

  We rented a boat with a skipper for a day. Luka, our skipper, was fantastic! Knowledgeable, professional and friendly, he guided us to some hidden gems and booked a really nice restaurant for lunch on one of the islands. The boat itself was clean, well looked after and comfortable. The booking was straightforward and communication from Petar very responsive and friendly. Thank you for an absolutely amazing experience, I highly recommend renting a private boat for a day and choose where you want to go!

• 5Amazing experience with Palladium

  We used Palladium for a private full day tour. From start to finish, these guys are amazing. Peter was even giving me tourism tips about where to park for cheap :) They couldn’t have been more helpful. Antonio our skipper was super skilled and really helpful. We were in great hands all day with him. I would give these guys 200% if I could. Full marks and thank you from our family
