Guided sea kayaking tours from Bonj Beach in Hvar

Discover the beautiful surroundings of Hvar and Pakleni islands on this fun and exciting kayak tour!

Interestingly enough, Pakleni Islands is often translated as “Hell’s Islands”. This translation, however, is wrong. Even though the Croatian word “pakleni” literally means "hellish" in English, the name originally derives from “paklina”, an archaic word which refers to the pine resin harvested on these islands, once used to coat ships. Kayaking is one of the best possible ways to explore and discover the chain of 14 untouched Pakleni islets that are approximately 10 km long, with a very indented coastline and numerous wonderful bays and beaches. The islands are mainly covered with pine trees, providing you with a much-needed refreshing shade on hot summer days.

The team uses modern Sit-on-Top single and double (tandem) Feelfree kayaks fitted with deluxe seats, paddles, and all additional equipment included. Their advantage over sit-in kayaks is that they fit all types of people (including those with long legs) and, because of their open decks, there is no risk of being trapped in the kayak if it tips over. The kayaks are very stable and suitable for beginners due to their large capacity and wide bottom. You will also be provided with dry bags (100% waterproof, 3L or 30L) where you can put all your personal belongings that must stay completely dry during your kayak trip.

You friendly and highly-experienced instructor will guide you through the best spots of the Hvar coast and the Pakleni islands, where you will be able to swim, do some snorkeling and discover the equally gorgeous underwater world of the area!
