Itinerary

Kayaking is an excellent way to explore and discover the chain of 14 untouched Pakleni islands with a very indented coastline and numerous beautiful bays and beaches. The islands are mostly covered with pine trees, which provide you with the necessary shade you need on hot summer days. Due to our good location, it is quite easy to reach the Pakleni islands with our kayaks, and you have the opportunity to visit some of the most beautiful beaches around Hvar. However, we recommend to take enough time for such trips, as you will need about 40 to 60 minutes (one way) to reach most of the attractive places. There are several pebble beaches on Pakleni islands where you can safely pull your kayak to the beach and explore the island, have something to eat or drink in a nearby restaurant, swim and snorkel or just relax.

Fun activity even if you have no experience

Published on May, 2025

We had such a fun day out kayaking and island hopping. The man at the base gave super clear instructions on routes and how to kayak since we were first timers, but no experience was needed. We had a double kayak and got across to the first island on the route he recommended in about 40 mins. Definitely would recommend as a day out and a bit of something different to your usual experiences. The independence of being about to take it how you like was what made the experience for us.

The BEST way to explore the Pakleni Islands!

Published on Oct, 2024

What a brilliant day! Paddling your own kayak has to be the best way to visit the Pakleni Islands from Hvar! Joska set us up with a double sit on top kayak complete with buoyancy aids, dry bag for our own gear and supplies, a map and most cleverly a tracker device. Easy to paddle across to and explore the unspoilt Paklenis at your own pace and stop off for swimming and picnic stops wherever we chose to. We enjoyed it so much we want to go again!

Best Day Ever!

Published on Sep, 2024

We had the most wonderful day - it was a bit windy so we were advised not to try to cross to the Islands but rather go up the coast which ended up being amazing. We were given a map with suggestions of where to stop for beaches, drinks, snorkeling and best of all amazing food. The staff were all super nice and helpful. The lunch spot they suggested was only accessible by boat and magical! We loved that we could go at our own pace and stop wherever and whenever we wanted! Highly recommend!

Divine.

Great day

Published on Jul, 2024

Excellent day! The vendor is a sort walk along the dock from the cruise ship so easy to find. There are restrooms nearby and you might bring cash to buy drinks before going out. Staff are as very friendly and professional. There was a place to store personal items and a dry bag was provided to take things along the trip. Great safety briefing and map provided. There is a current so we battled that a bit bit had a blast. Great way to see the other islands or go along the coast. A GPS tracker was on the boat so never worried I am 76 and went with my 14 year old granddaughter. Fun day. Water was wonderful.
