Holiday rentals in Hvar

Join us on a small group tour exploring Vis and surrounding islets! In one day, you have the opportunity to visit all the best attractions in this archipelago! The first stop is Budikovac - Blue Lagoon, where you have free time for swimming. After that, we go for some sightseeing, first the Green Cave, and then the magnificent Blue Cave, which will surely take your breath away! We also visit one of the most amazing beaches, Stiniva, hidden behind the huge cliffs! Finally, we make a stop on the most popular of Pakleni Islands - Palmizana sandy beach, where you have free time for lunch.

We will meet at the picnic area in the canyon of the river Cetina. I will tell you where you can leave your car and we will drive in the van 20 minutes to the starting point. On the starting point, my companions will help you choose suitable equipment and adventure can begin. You will meet your river guide who will be with you in the boat during the whole trip. You will paddle through untouched nature far from roads and houses where you can see rapids, waterfalls, caves and quiet parts of the river. After a while, we will take a break at a small beach where you can swim, relax or have fun in a shallow part of the water. In the middle of the route, you will have about 5 minutes of walking by the river where you will see natural springs and have the opportunity to refill your water bottle. You will jump back in the boat as we have about one hour of enjoying the beautiful scenery and some more challenging rapids (nothing to be afraid of). On the last part of the trip, we will pass between huge cliffs and have the opportunity to stop swimming again or take a short walk around the rocks. The finish point of the trip is the same picnic area where you left your car. We will drink something and say goodbye (or see you again). Cetina is not a wild river, so you do not need to be experienced or well physically prepared to join.

Our meeting point is in Hvar town. Our first stop is at Malo Grablje, abandoned (ghost) village from 16th century....people left this village because of wine disease and now it is a perfect example of the nature dominating over old stone houses and buildings... We continue to Velo Grablje, neighbour village, where the story of lavender started, 80 years ago and saved the locals from the poverty... Road takes us on the top of the island where we can see dry stone walls and terraces of lavender fields., where you can imagine how hard labour meets hard nature...stoping for pictures along the way. Great spot for seeing both sides of the island and amazing view to the Adriatic and the surrounding area. We will finish our tour at the Napoleon castle, that was built by his army at the beggining of 19th century, where you can enjoy the best view and one of the most amazing sunsets of your life..
