Just off the coast of Hvar Town, a string of wooded islands sits scattered across the Adriatic like a secret the rest of the world hasn't quite discovered yet. The Pakleni Islands, known locally as the Hell Islands, are anything but. Emerald bays, hidden coves, pine-covered shores, and some of the clearest water in the entire Mediterranean , this is where the real Hvar begins, and this private speedboat tour, running from 1st July to 15th September, is your gateway into all of it.

Departing at 09:00 or 10:00 with a maximum of six guests on board, the tone is set the moment you leave the harbour behind. Your skipper , fluent in both Croatian and English , knows these islands the way most people know their own neighbourhood, and the day is shaped around making the most of every hour you have on the water. The sound system sets the mood as you pick up speed, the icebox keeps your drinks cold, and the onboard shower means you can swim as many times as you like without a second thought.

And there will be plenty of swimming. The Pakleni Islands are made for it. Each bay seems to outdo the last , the water shifting from pale turquoise in the shallows to a deep, rich blue further out, the kind of clarity that makes it impossible not to stop. Snorkelling reveals a surprisingly rich underwater world beneath the surface , sea bream, octopus, and the occasional glimpse of something you won't quite be able to name. Aboard a private speedboat, you reach the spots that larger group tours never access , tucked-away lagoons, quiet beaches facing the open sea, coves where the only sounds are the water and the pine trees.

The Pakleni Islands are more than just beautiful scenery. Palmižana, on the largest island of Sveti Klement, is a botanical garden and artists' retreat that has been welcoming visitors since the early twentieth century, its lush paths winding between rare Mediterranean flora and the occasional sculpture. The Laganini beach bar, perched at sea level with views across the bay, is one of Croatia's most celebrated spots for a long lunch or a late-afternoon cocktail. Hidden further along are lesser-known bays accessible only by boat , Ždrilca, Mlini, Vela Garška , places where you can drop anchor and feel genuinely alone with the sea.

Between the swimming stops, the music, the cold drinks, and the company of a crew that treats your day as their own project, this is the kind of tour that tends to become the highlight of a Croatia trip rather than just one item on the list.

Please not that the fuel is not included in the price, and will cost around 300€
