3 Islands: Golden Horn Beach, Blue Lagoon & Jelsa Town
A half-day speedboat journey through the finest coastal gems of Brač and Hvar
This Dalmatian Coast island cruise covers three distinct stops across two of Croatia's most celebrated Adriatic islands, combining natural swimming spots with a genuine taste of local town life. Departing from Makarska, the route takes in the rocky shores of Brač before crossing toward Hvar and returning with a full set of memories in just five hours.
The itinerary is designed for travellers who want variety without exhaustion. Each stop is long enough to swim, explore, or simply sit with a coffee, yet the pace keeps the day moving so there is no sense of waiting around.
Rated easy in difficulty, this excursion suits families, couples, and solo travellers alike. No prior experience on the water is required, and the scenic speedboat ride along Brač's rugged coastline is itself a highlight worth savouring.
Tour Highlights
Swim and snorkel at the legendary Golden Horn Beach, one of the most photographed shores on the Adriatic coast.
Discover the hidden Zirje bay on Brač island, an untouched natural cove far from the busy tourist trail.
Snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of a secluded blue lagoon just off the coast of Hvar island.
Stroll through the old Mediterranean streets of Jelsa, a charming fishing village with authentic local character.
Enjoy an exhilarating speedboat ride along the dramatic rocky coastline of Brač as the journey unfolds.
Sunbathe on deck between stops and take in uninterrupted views of the open Adriatic Sea.
Itinerary
The first stop is the secluded Zirje bay on Brač, where untouched nature and calm turquoise water set the tone for the day. A 25-minute window gives guests time to swim, snorkel, or simply relax on the sun deck before the boat moves on.
One hour of free time at the famous Golden Horn beach allows for swimming, snorkelling, or a stop at one of the nearby beach bars. Those curious about the old town of Bol can walk there in around 20 minutes from the shore.
A beautiful blue lagoon opposite the island of Hvar offers half an hour of swimming and snorkelling in remarkably clear water. The bay is uninhabited, which keeps the atmosphere peaceful and the scenery unspoiled.
The final stop is the old town of Jelsa, a historic fisherman's village where guests can wander the stone lanes, grab a coffee, or pick up a light meal. The boat then returns to Makarska, completing the five-hour round trip.
