Private Guided Tour
Sea kayaking to Pakleni
Kayaking is a fantastic way to explore the 14 unspoiled Pakleni Islands, which span 10km and feature a deeply indented coastline with numerous beautiful bays and beaches. Mostly covered in pine trees, the islands offer shade on hot summer days. Your guide will share fascinating information about the islands, local life on Hvar, and the area’s history, flora, and fauna.
Many of the best spots on the Pakleni Islands, such as the beautiful Mlini Beach, are less than 2km or a 30-45 minute paddle from the meeting spot at Bonj Beach in Hvar Town. On Pakleni Islands, you can take a break with your guide to taste local food or have a drink at a nearby restaurant, swim, or relax. The guide will also show you the best snorkelling spots to enjoy the rich underwater flora and fauna of the Adriatic.

Unlike sit-in kayaks, these are suitable for everyone, including those with long legs, and their open deck design eliminates the risk of entrapment if tipped. These kayaks are very stable, with a large capacity and wide bottom, making them ideal for beginners.
