About this tour
This session takes a water taxi out to the Pakleni Islands, the chain of wooded islets just offshore from Hvar's harbour. You see the old town from the water as the boat leaves, then the islets themselves, with quiet coves pointed out along the way. It is a practical, live look at the islands rather than a description of them from land.
We start at the harbour with a sound check, then move through the crossing stop by stop, taking questions about the different coves and how to reach them independently. A short list of names follows once the session ends.
It suits anyone deciding whether a boat day fits their visit. It also suits an early booking, since the morning crossings tend to be calmest.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city
Itinerary

Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Hvar before heading out.
-
Leaving the harbour 21 min
The camera looks back at Hvar's old town as the water taxi pulls away, and I explain how close the Pakleni Islands actually sit offshore.
-
Among the islets 21 min
As we pass between the wooded islets, I point out the coves that stay quiet even in the busiest months.
-
Your questions 9 min
Time to ask anything about Hvar: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Plavac Mali wine and Grad, worth a slower look.
Good to know
- A stable wifi or mobile connection makes the picture smoother than a shaky one.
- Any phone, tablet or laptop with a camera works. You watch, the guide does the walking.
- Times are shown in Zagreb time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 8 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.

Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?

How it works

- Join from any device: phone, tablet or laptop.
- We meet on Google Meet; the link comes with your booking. I hold the phone steady from the boat, so the picture may move a little with the water.
