What to do and see in Hvar Island, Dalmatia: The Best Tours

June 28, 2021 Giuseppe Pratt

Claiming to be the sunniest spot in all of Europe, the Croatian island of Hvar is the perfect destination for tourists seeking the beauty of Mediterranean beaches without the crowds associated with more well-known destinations. Pathways lined with lavender vines lead to secluded coves, small fishing villages and local vineyards, and ferries and catamarans carry visitors across the calm, blue waters to the surrounding islands, all worthy of exploration.

I could not be more pleased with my experience of renting a scooter from Real Hvar. Kristijan is a wonderful, kind man. He supplied me with a map and gave wonderful suggestions for routes to explore the island. I had such a great time that I extended my rental one extra day. He also recommended an out-of-the-way authentic restaurant run by a local family and it was the best meal I’ve had on my trip. I never would have discovered it had he not told me about it. The scooter was reliable and ran well. He even delivered it to my Airbnb as part of an arrangement with my host. It was so convenient. Kristijan also gave me his number and was easily reachable to answer any questions. I feel confident to recommend renting from Real Hvar!

I have been renting a boat from Adriatica charter each summer for the past 8 years which speaks for itself! I am very satisfied with the boats, always clean and in perfect shape, and the customer service. Last summer all boats were regularly and thoroughly desinfected for our safety. I can recommend the company for the quick response to my emails, the flexibility with which all formalities were dealt with and the efficiency in booking, confirmation and communication. Antonio is very forthcoming, polite, always friendly and with a smile. He always provides information on the neighboring Islands with interesting sites to visit and insider tips for nice bays to swim and good restaurants. I already booked a boat for next year as I know that safety and health standards will be be taken care for and am looking forward to it.

I've waited way too long to post this review as I wanted to sit and write a novel about how great everything was. However, I'm way overdue and just need to say that Grgo and his family made our trip to Hvar so special. My husband and I did the private Red tour and between the hospitality of Grgo and learning so much more about the Island than you can find by simply staying in town, this is a great option. PLENTY of wine too which is what we were looking for. Thank you, Grgo! We hope to return one day.

This excursion is perfect for people who want to create their own tailored excursion. One can combine different tours into one tour. We will help with details. But we aware that Basic boat is to small to reach distance islands. NOTE: To visit Blue cave the best is to book Bigger Level Boat due to bigger waves on open sea.
