Join our guide for a tour of the city, with its medieval streets, magnificently preserved castle, and beautiful marina.

While Hvar is our ultimate destination, we’ll cruise to Brac Island first for a swim stop off the shores of world-famous Zlatni Rat, a beach with glistening white pebbles surrounded by transparent blue waters on three sides, jutting into the sea for nearly a third of a mile. After lunch, we’ll continue to sunny Hvar, known for attracting international jet setters and nature lovers with its beautiful beaches, fragrant lavender fields, and vineyard-covered hills. Upon arrival, we’ll head to one of the island’s most popular family-run wineries for a tour and tasting alongside local snacks. Returning to Hvar Town afterward, enjoy the evening at your leisure.

Cruising the island gems known as the Paklenis as we make our way toward Vis, enjoy an extended swim stop in one of the hidden coves with crystal-clear blue waters. You’ll have time to use some of the water toys on board too. Once we reach Vis, you can soak up its peaceful atmosphere. Relatively unspoiled by tourism with a location as the furthest island from the Croatian coast as well as having been closed to the public for 40 years while used as a naval base, it offers many unique charms and produces some fabulous wines – sample them during a family-run winery tasting.

An early departure this morning brings the opportunity to visit the Blue Cave on the island of Bisevo. You can hop into a small boat to tour its interior, experiencing the magic when the sunlight beams through a crack in the roof, reflecting off the white sea bottom to illuminate it in a surreal blue glow. Continuing to our overnight destination of Korcula Island, you’ll meet our local guide at the gate for a walking tour of the Old Town that’s enclosed by stone defensive walls. Afterward, sit down in one of the many eateries to enjoy an authentic traditional meal.

We’ll continue to the traditional fishing village of Slano, walking along the coast to an oyster farm to sample the delicacies fresh from the sea while learning more about how they’re harvested.
