WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"Originally had no idea we were booking “his” tour as we booked through an agency for a private tour. We were so lucky to have landed with Flash! He took us to all the local spots all the while entertaining us with personal and local stories to learn about Hvar’s culture and history. "

"This was one of the most memorable experiences of our trip to Croatia! Gordan is an excellent captain and the entire trip was completely care-free. He took us to some beautiful and more local spots on the coast of Hvar and the Pakleni islands and we were always able to take our time to enjoy them. We finished the day with the most delicious meal in a secluded bay on the coast -- it definitely felt like a local secret. We will absolutely return and highly recommend to anyone visiting Hvar."

"Flash and his boat tour was absolutely the highlight of our trip. After contacting him ahead of time, we met Flash by his boat the morning of our adventure. Being from the island, Flash was very knowledgeable as well as entertaining as we toured around the island by water. We stopped at several different coves, bays, caves, as well as a winery! We ended the day at a beach bar which was great as well. I absolutely couldn’t recommend this more. Flash was the BEST!!""

With crystal-clear waters, quaint villages, and leisurely exploration, Hvar is an unforgettable escape just a short ferry ride away from Split, Croatia.

While you could easily spend more than one day on this island, if your Croatia itinerary is limited on time like ours was, it is still worth taking the ferry over for one full day.

My husband and I took a two week trip to Croatia in April 2024 (see below for our entire itinerary). And while the weather in mid April is not beach going weather – we had perfect exploring by foot weather :).

This post will help you plan your own perfect day trip to Hvar ;).

An Easy Day Trip to Hvar Island

How to get to hvar island, time needed on hvar island, srinjo kola, church of st stephen, archeological site faros (unesco heritage site), skor square, tvrdalj of petar hektorovic, dominican monastery of st peter martyr, stari grad riva, hvar fortress, hvar old town, st stephen’s square, franciscan monastery, what to wear in spring on hvar island, our april 2024 croatia itinerary day to day overview.

To reach Hvar Island from Split, you can take Jadrolinija ferry or Krilo catamaran, with regular departures throughout the day from Split’s ferry port.

The journey takes about 1 to 2 hours, depending on the service, offering scenic views of the Adriatic Sea along the way.

We took the 8:30am Jadrolinija ferry from Split to Stari Grad on Hvar Island on Thursday, April 25th and got on the 5:30pm return ferry to Split.

Our roundtrip tickets were less than $25 for both of us – our hotel concierge helped us buy our tickets online the night before but you can also do so yourself here .

The thing to be aware of if you take this ferry is that the small town of Stari Grad is on the opposite side of the island from the more popular Hvar Town and you will have to either take a taxi or a bus to get to the other side of the island and back.

This is not a big deal and, as you will read more about below, we loved Stari Grad way more than Hvar Town for our spring visit!

The quiet laneways and ancient white-stone streets of Stari Grad are much more slow paced and friendly than the more party-scene oriented, young crowds of Hvar Town.

We decided to sit outside on the deck for the entire two hours to the island and enjoyed the fresh sea air and warm sun on our faces :).

However there is plenty of indoor seating as well as a snack bar if you choose to go that route. This ferry carries vehicles (semi trucks even!) and carries as many as 1800 passengers ;0.

Another unique aspect of taking the Jadrolinija ferry was entering and exiting the boat from the car dock ;0.

The option of the Krilo catamaran will bring you to the Hvar Town side of the island. You can learn more about this option here .

These seems to be a less common method of getting to the island of Hvar as our concierge did not mention it nor have I read about it on many blog posts however it is a viable and slightly faster option :).

As mentioned above, our day trip to Hvar was the last week of April 2024, and as you can see from the photos above, not sitting on a beach weather which is a common activity on the island.

Taking the 8:30am ferry and arriving into the Stari Grad port around 10:30am, we spent a couple hours wandering the streets of Stari Grad (most shops were closed that day) before taking a taxi to Hvar Town for another couple of hours before returning back to Stari Grad around 4pm to get on the 5:30pm ferry.

If you are visiting in the warmer months, you can take a later ferry back to Split to allow a couple hours for relaxing on the beach :).

If you take the Jadrolinija ferry as mentioned above, you will arrive a short 10 minute walk from Stari Grad town centre.

Stari Grad is known as one of the oldest towns in all of Europe.

While many visitors to Hvar Island will skip going to Stari Grad and go straight to Hvar Town, my husband and I loved strolling the narrow cobblestone streets of Stari Grad way more than Hvar Town.

Having visited at the end of April, the crowds were minimal making us feel like the only two people wandering the streets of Stari Grad.

Here are a few of the sights we enjoyed seeing around the town centre:

Srinjo kola (Middle Street) is the epicenter of Stari Grad with quaint cafes and traditional souvenir shops. Having visited about two weeks before most businesses open for the season, we had the oldest street on the island all to ourselves.

The hip gourmet shop, Za Pod Zub, is on this narrow laneway and lucky for us was open when we were there which gave us the opportunity to talk to the French owners and learn a little more about their Croatian home.

After Srinjo Kola, visiting the peaceful and serene Dominican Monastery was our favorite sight in Stari Grad.

A stroll along the palm lined waterfront is one of the best things to do in Stari Grad.

In the “busy” season (I have heard even in peak tourist season, Stari Grad is still a sedate town), the seafront promenade here is the perfect place for people watching with its myriad of fishing boats and locals enjoying coffee at the cafes.

After wandering the picturesque streets of Stari Grad, we asked the friendly owner of a waterfront coffee shop to call a taxi for us to take us to Hvar Town. You can contact the company Hvar Transfer from their website here.

The ride is about 30 minutes and we paid around $50 in cash each way. Funny story – we had forgotten to get Euros out of a bank in Split before leaving for Hvar Island, and our taxi driver was perfectly fine accepting US dollars as payment!!

Another method of transportation to Hvar Town is the public bus – learn more about the schedules here .

Having read quite a few reviews and blog posts about this more popular capital city on Hvar Island, I knew just spending a couple of hours in the party oriented, younger crowd town would be plenty for us.

And I was right.

There are more selfie sticks, massive yachts, bass pumping bars, and backpackers on tight budgets in Hvar Town than there are in the small fishing village of Stari Grad.

But nonetheless, seeing the main sights of Hvar Town and sitting on the riva looking at the crystal clear Mediterranean waters while eating a burek will still be one of the highlights of your Croatian adventures :).

We had our taxi driver drop us off at the Tvrdava Fortica so that we would not have to make the all uphill trek if dropped off in town and therefore started our exploring of the western side of the island from there.

Here is the list of the sights we enjoyed in the two hours we spent in Hvar Town:

Home of the most panoramic and stunning view of the Mediterranean waters and red roofs and white washed walls of Hvar far below, getting dropped off first at Hvar Fortress was one of the best decisions we made on this day trip to Hvar :).

While the 10 Euro entrance fee (April 2024 prices) is more than I think it should be for what little you get, the views will make you forget about that cost ( learn more here ).

If you hopefully follow our suggestion to get dropped off at the fortress, after spending about 25 -30 minutes there enjoying the views, you will head downhill and through the narrow cobblestone streets of Hvar Old Town to the main square.

The largest old square in all of Dalmatia, St Stephen’s square is the center of public and social life in Hvar. The Cathedral of St Stephen’s can be found in this square (it was surprisingly closed for our visit).

While mainly filled with tourists and some tourist trap souvenir shops and restaurants, the square is a fun place to take a breather and do some people watching on your Hvar day trip :).

Located on the prettiest little cove just a short walk from the Hvar Riva, the Franciscan Monastery exudes peace and calm.

While the monastery was actually closed on the day of our day trip, we were still able to enter the gates and enjoy the tranquility of the surrounding property.

Filled with massive yachts, energetic bars, and touristy restaurants, having visited mid day in late April, we thankfully did not experience the party scene that Hvar’s riva is world famous for.

What we did experience at the end of the riva was a peaceful place to sit and eat our first burek’s of the trip with views of the bluest waters I have ever seen ;0!

Also – being that this was already our 8th day in Croatia – I cannot believe we didn’t know about the popular Croatian treat of bureks earlier!!!

A burek is a delicious and savory pastry popular as a light meal or hearty snack made from thin, flaky layers of dough.

There is a popular Croatian bakery right on the riva where you can quickly get your burek to enjoy while sitting in the Mediterranean sun :).

The temperature for our day trip to Hvar Island never went above 60ºF however when sitting on the Hvar riva, the warm Mediterranean sun made us grateful for the layers we wore for the day.

And as always – especially with all the old cobblestone streets, walking shoes are essential! If there is any rain or drizzle for your Hvar day trip, the walkways will be slippery so make sure you are prepared for that too!

Hvar: Croatia's Crown Jewel

Did you know that Croatia has the second largest archipelago in the Mediterranean and more than one thousand islands? It might, hence, seem difficult to choose a single one in which to spend your holidays, but look no further: Hvar is the crown jewel of the Adriatic Sea . The Dalmatian coast has been “rediscovered” by Europeans in the last decade; the increased interest in the area brought along investments, and Hvar has profited from discerning travelers looking for new spectacular places to spend vacations. This medieval town, with a charming marina at its epicenter, has everything you could be looking for when planning some time off: breathtaking sea views, small bays with pristine waters, an ancient historical Old Town and hillsides covered in pine forests, which you seldom see in this part of the world. Your dream vacation will be complete with delightful dining and entertainment options, including excellent restaurants and cafes, vibrant nightclubs for dancing and fun and quieter cocktail bars for peaceful sunset happy hours.

One of Hvar’s hot spots is Palmizana, but it is not necessary to go by private boat, as there are plenty of taxi boats that take 15 minutes to get there. Once you reach Palmizana a good idea is to settle at Laganini or Zori, where you can rent sunbeds and umbrellas and enjoy excellent food. Bear in mind Palmizana becomes quite crowded in high season, as well as the other hotspot Hula Hula in Old Town, so go early for a quiet day or late in the afternoon for partying to loud music.

Alternate your fabulous boat rides with thrilling scooter rides. Whiz around the island stopping leisurely at any beaches you fancy and going for dives in crystal clear waters. Our top picks are Milna and Dubovika. Later on, ride to the northern part of the island, where you will scooter amidst refreshing pine forests and end your day at the famous uphill fort, from which you have outstanding views of the sea and old town.

The perfect holiday would not be so without good food, right? Well, at Divino we savored the best meal in town. This upscale restaurant serves elaborate dishes in a dimly lit ambiance with wonderful views. If your island stay should have you craving some seafood, try Gariful for delicious catches of the day. It is right by the Old Town promenade, ideal for enjoying an after dinner stroll. Another excellent option is Dalmatino , which serves delicious food and is just a few steps from the main square. If meat is on order, the Butchery and Wine at the Adriana Hvar Spa Hotel has a mouth-watering charolaise steak with truffle sauce that will likely be on your mind for quite some time. For quick snacks and live music, Central Park Club in the middle of the old town, should do the trick nicely.

After such incredible days in Hvar, at some point it will be time to leave. If you are doing that via Split a good idea is to… Well, that’s another story! Drop us a mail or chat online and we will tell you everything you need to know!

By Suite 49.

Other Useful Information

Hvar does not have quite the suitable amount of hotels needed to accommodate the large number of travelers it receives in high season. We have selected the best choices for your stay, below:

* Adriana Hvar Spa Hotel : this is the best hotel in town. A boutique atmosphere and trendy setting, this very well located property has all comforts you may need.

* Riva Yacht Club : very well located and with a modern décor and cool atmosphere, this property attracts a young crowd. Rooms follow the contemporary style and have open plan bathrooms. Attention: there is a lively and vibrant bar with loud music until late.

* Amfora Grand Beach : this is a very good choice if you prefer larger properties with a robust infrastructure. It is ideal for families since kids love its large swimming pool. Perfect location.

* Pharos Hvar Hotel : a simple yet efficient hotel, it has been recently renovated and offers good rooms and a pleasant swimming pool. Its location is excellent.

When to go:

If you want to enjoy the sea, summer is the ideal, and most in demand, time of year, so make your plans and book in advance. Spring and autumn are delightful should you be willing to spend a few days on the island visiting its old town and enjoying boat rides, without swimming. In general most venues will be open from April until October. At wintertime the island is left to only a few locals, as most of the population heads back to the continent.

How to get there:

You can reach Hvar by private boat hire or ferry. Some ferries take cars and others, the catamarans, take passengers only and are generally faster. Options:

* Depart from Dubrovnik to Hvar: available only one or two days of the week, so if you are willing to go Dubrovnik before or after Hvar, you might want to look at this alternative ahead and plan the schedule according to availability.

* Depart from Split to Hvar: daily service in high season. Split is located two and a half hours by car from Dubrovnik and conveniently has an airport with direct flights from some European cities, in high season. Attention: there are different ferry routes from Split to Hvar, and arrivals in the island could happen either in Hvar Old Town or in Stari Grad (another small village in the island). We deem Hvar Old Town to be the best region to stay and where we recommend you head to.

* The best ferry line is Jadronilija . Check schedule in advance.

Other tips:

* Check the weather forecast and plan your days accordingly. Leave boat rides for less windy days and with calmer seas.

* The term “beach”, by Croatian standards, is literally anywhere you can lie in the sun and dive into the sea. Therefore, be aware of this and request specific information when asking for directions, should you be looking for a sandy or pebble beach.

* Bring along your water sports shoes, which will be super handy for the pebble beaches and for diving from the rocks.
