Escape the crowds and experience the true beauty of Hvar by boat. With a local skipper who knows every hidden bay and secret cove, you’ll explore the stunning southern beaches of Hvar and the nearby Pakleni Islands—places many visitors overlook. While the Blue Cave is well-known, the untouched coves and crystal-clear lagoons closer to Hvar often offer a more relaxed and authentic experience. Let the real highlights of the island reveal themselves, just a short boat ride away.

When planning your dream holiday to the island of Hvar, one experience stands above the rest—exploring Hvar’s southern beaches and the Pakleni Islands by boat. While many visitors rush to see the famous Blue Cave, locals and seasoned travelers know the real magic lies closer to Hvar itself. Let us show you why a personalized boat tour or renting a boat with a local skipper is the ultimate way to uncover Hvar’s true coastal beauty.
More Than the Blue Cave: Discover the Untouched Side of Hvar
The Blue Cave is undoubtedly beautiful, but it's also overcrowded, time-consuming to reach, and often overhyped. If you're looking for something authentic, peaceful, and truly breathtaking, you’ll find paradise in the hidden coves, pebble beaches, and crystal-clear bays of southern Hvar and the Pakleni Islands—just a short boat ride from Hvar Town.
Here’s what makes these boat tours unforgettable:
1.) Explore Secluded Beaches on Hvar’s Southern Coast
The southern side of Hvar is a world of its own. Accessible only by boat, this stretch of coastline is dotted with:
- Lučišće Bay – A picture-perfect beach with turquoise waters and dramatic cliffs.
- Dubovica – One of the most iconic and photographed beaches on the island.
- Red Rocks (Crvene Stijene) – A surreal natural formation where red cliffs plunge into the sea—perfect for swimming and cliff diving.
- Malo Zaraće & Velo Zaraće – Two stunning beaches nestled beneath steep hills, offering clear waters and incredible snorkeling.
Each of these beaches is a peaceful escape—no crowds, just sun, sea, and pure Hvar charm.
2.) Pakleni Islands: A Private Paradise Close to Hvar Town
Just off the coast of Hvar, the Pakleni Islands (or Paklinski Islands) are a dreamy archipelago of pine-covered islets, hidden lagoons, and secret beaches. Whether you want to sunbathe, snorkel, dine at a chic beach restaurant, or simply relax, there's an island for every mood:
- Palmizana – Home to stylish beach bars and lush botanical gardens.
- Mlini Beach – A serene, sandy cove ideal for families or couples.
- Jerolim & Stipanska – Naturist-friendly and great for tranquil swims.
3.) Rent a Boat with a Local Skipper: Explore Like a True Islander
