Itinerary

Day 2 Sea-kayaking day. From Hvar town we'll set off to the beautiful Pakleni islands named in the old days when the islands were the main source of rosin for local shipbuilders. Today, just like then, the islands reveal sheltered coves and are covered with thick pine woods providing refreshing shade even during the hottest summer days. Lunch is planned in a traditional Dalmatian restaurant near the beach of Vlaka. Along with tasteful food and home made wine you can enjoy in the peacefulness and the beauty of the scenery. Afterwards we can take a walk inland on the island of Sveti Klement, the biggest island of the archipelago. We continue by paddling along the other side of the island until we reach the town of Hvar again around 6pm.

Day 3 Sea-kayaking. Again starting in the town of Hvar we kayak eastwards along the rocky coast line. On the way we'll visit beautiful bays and beaches, the Red Rocks, before stopping for lunch at a local restaurants in one of the beautiful bays. Our kayaking ends at Sveta Nedjelja. Small village on the southern coast famous for the wine production. You will spend one night in tents or in small bungalows. Accommodation is very simple and "back to nature"...

Day 4 Morning trekking tour through olive groves and vineyards following ancient paths to the peak of St. Nikola. The trail takes us along the old stone road which was once the only communication between the South and North of the island. At the peak of Sveti Nikola at 636 m you will have a wonderful view of all the surrounding islands. On the way down you will stop at two beautiful caves and finally arrive in the village of Sveta Nedilja where a lunch will be organized in one of the traditional restaurants. On the route home we'll stop for a refreshing swim in one of beautiful bays along the coast. Return to Hvar around 6pm.

As an alternative to the hiking tour we can offer a climbing and swimming day. The routes on the climbing site are both for beginners and for advanced climbers since there are more than 100 marked routes. The climbing sites are right on the coast, so once you get too tired of climbing you can always jump into the crystal blue sea for some refreshment.

Day 5 We start to kayak back from Sv.Nedjelja to Hvar. We would visit different beaches and bays than the one we visited on the way to Sveta Nedjelja. It is area with many opportunities and secluded bays approachable just by sea... On our way back we would stop in a restaurant for lunch. We are back in Hvar around 6pm
