★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 194 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $90Our pick

Review of Hvar’s half-day sailing trip to the Pakleni Islands, with two swim stops, small groups, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“This was a very relaxing experience, the boat does not go that fast so you can sit/ lay on the front or the boat and not feel like you’re going to fly off. We stopped in 2 quiet locations to drop anchor and swim/ paddle board. Would recommend if you are looking for a leisurely Morning or afternoon activity & you want to swim!”

3.Full Day Sail on a yacht – friendly skipper- small group – lunch optional

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 23 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $180

Review of Hvar’s 8-hour small-group yacht sail, with swimming, snorkeling, SUP, Red Rocks, Pakleni Islands, and optional local lunch.

“I'm traveling alone and decided to do a sailing experience on Hvar. He delivered what was promised: quiet day at sea, away from the crowds, smaller group (although expect more than 7). We stopped at a very nice restaurant called Notos Hvar with beach club vibes and great seafood. My only tip would be to make sure you provide your WhatsApp and message the skipper before departure - otherwise you might stay in the island if you don't make it on time or don't find the boat - it's a very busy meeting point. They are lovely people and provide great service :)”

4.Sunset Sailing Tour on the Pakleni Islands

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 10 reviews · 3 to 4 hours (approx.) · from $96

Review of Hvar’s sunset sailing tour to the Pakleni Islands, with snorkeling, paddleboarding, snacks, wine, skipper tips, and practical booking advice.

“What a tour. One of our favourite tours of our holiday. Rocko was a great skipper - knowledgeable and gave us local ideas to eat out. He took us through the islands and then into a deserted bay for some down time and the chance to swim. We were at low tourist season, so can imagine this tour would hit different in high season when there are more boats etc but it was so worthwhile. The sunset we caught was beautiful and there was no rush to get back to Hvar. A beautiful end to a beautiful day.”
