Day trips from Hvar

Two trips need a day and a ticket of their own: Jadrolinija catamaran, line 659 to Vis (40 min) and the same line on to Bol and Zlatni Rat beach (45 min), both €50 (2× €25). The third, Palmižana on the Pakleni islands, is closer and shorter — 10–15 min by taxi boat from the town harbour — and already fits inside day one of the base plan.

Vis, a full day by boat

Jadrolinija catamaran, line 659 to Vis takes 40 min, a return ticket €50 (2× €25). This line runs on a summer timetable, so before a day gets built around it, check the schedule for the exact travel date.

Bol and Zlatni Rat, the same line

The same line that runs to Vis also calls at Bol, 45 min from Hvar for €50 (2× €25) return. Zlatni Rat is the beach Bol is known for beyond Brač island itself; the exact distance from the harbour where the boat docks to the beach isn't confirmed here, so it's worth asking on arrival.

Palmižana, a shorter crossing, the same afternoon

The taxi boat from the town harbour to Palmižana on the Pakleni islands takes 10–15 min for €10–15 (return), short enough to fit into the same afternoon as Fortica fortress, so this crossing already sits inside day one of the base plan.
