DAY 3. To Hvar and Vira Bay
Today’s adventure takes us along the south coast of Brac island back towards Hvar island. We’ll stop for swimming and resting in one of the bays. Overnight , we’ll set up camp at Vira, one of the bays of Hvar island (Vira camping).
DAY 4. Exploring the Pakleni archipelago
Today we head westward, passing the point of Hvar island and paddling to the Pakleni islands archipelago. The origin of the name Pakleni goes back to the time when the islands here were the main source of resin for local shipbuilders. Today, just like then, the islands are covered with thick pine woods providing refreshing shade even during the hottest summer days. The route through narrow straits and along the islands reveals small hidden pebble beaches where you can claim a deserted beach or even a whole island as yours (at least temporarily!) for a swim. Tonight we’ll set up on St.Klement island and enjoy an overnight under the stars.

Then, the rest of the day is yours to do as you wish. Rent a scooter, hang out at one of Hvar town’s famous cafes/bars, do some shopping or some more sightseeing. We also have a number of optional tours you can take – like sailing, cycling, or an island tour by off-road vehicles – so you can learn something about the interior of the island, not just the coastline… It’s all up to you.
