Itinerary

Nugal Beach

10 min

Enjoy a short photo stop above Nugal, one of the most famous hidden beaches on the Makarska Riviera. Known for its dramatic setting below the cliffs, naturist history, and wild untouched look, Nugal feels very different from the usual town beaches. After heavy rain, a seasonal waterfall can sometimes be seen above the beach, which makes this viewpoint even more special for photos.
Stop 2

20 min

Zečevo is a tiny island known for its beautiful Blue Lagoon, where the sea glows in bright turquoise shades that make this stop especially inviting for swimming and relaxing. With its small island feel, clear shallow water, and the popular waterfront Bungalow Bar, Zečevo is one of the most enjoyable and photogenic stops on the tour.
Vrboska

40 min

️Enjoy free time in Vrboska, the “Little Venice” of Croatia, where a narrow canal, tiny stone bridges, and a peaceful waterfront make the whole town feel almost like a film set. Despite its small size, Vrboska has a strong fishing heritage and even its own fishermen’s museum, while the fortified church above the village is one of its most unusual landmarks. It is the perfect stop for a coffee, a short walk, and a slower, more authentic side of Hvar.
Zlatni Rat Beach

1 h 10 min Admission included

Spend 70 minutes at Zlatni Rat, Croatia’s most famous beach and one of the most iconic spots on the Adriatic. Known for its long pebbled horn that changes shape with the wind, waves, and sea currents, this beach looks slightly different almost every day.

**Guests are dropped off and picked up directly at the beach dock, giving them easy access to swim, relax, or take a walk along one of the most photographed beaches in Europe.
Zirje Island

20 min

Biskup Bay is a hidden cove on Brač, an island famous for its many small boat-only bays that feel far more private than the usual beach stops. Because this side of Brač stays quiet and less visited, there is often a good chance you will be almost alone in the cove, with just clear water, peace, and the feeling of discovering a hidden corner of the island. It is the perfect place for a relaxed swim and a more exclusive Adriatic experience.
