Spend a day on a private RIB from Split, swimming beneath Zlatni Rat’s shifting spit, wandering Hvar’s historic streets, and lazing in the pine-scented coves of the Pakleni Islands. This nine‑hour boat tour blends active snorkeling with cultural stops and beachside relaxation.

A morning swell slides the boat away from Split and the Adriatic opens like a clear sheet of glass. Salt air sharpens the senses as the RIB cuts toward Brač; Zlatni Rat appears as a white tongue pointing into deep blue, its tip shifting with wind and current. The day moves with the sea—snorkel stops in sheltered coves, a slow stroll through Hvar’s stone streets, and an afternoon dropped into the pine-shaded coves of the Pakleni Islands.
