We had the best time kayaking with Pjero. This was by far the highlight of our time in Hvar. If you have the chance, this is the best way to see the islands around hvar! Can’t recommend this tour and Pjero as a guide enough.

Our half-day sea kayaking excursion with Pjero was one of the highlights of our time in Hvar. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he genuinely loves what he does and takes great pride in sharing the beauty and history of Hvar with his guests. Pjero is incredibly knowledgeable and gave us fascinating background on Hvar, the surrounding islands, and the region’s history and culture. He even shared insights into Croatia’s current political landscape, which added an unexpected and interesting dimension to the experience. Most importantly, he made safety a priority. He took the time to explain the rules of kayaking on the water, made sure we were comfortable, and kept a watchful eye on our group throughout the excursion. We always felt safe and well taken care of. And then there were the photos and videos! Pjero captured so many great moments of our adventure that we’ll treasure for years to come. It allowed us to be fully present and enjoy the experience without worrying about documenting it ourselves. If you’re visiting Hvar, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Pjero. It’s so much more than a kayaking excursion, it’s an unforgettable experience.

A very pleasant and tailored experience by Pjero for our family of 5. We spent 5 hours including about half an hour of preparation and explanations, 2.5 hours guided kayaking with stories about the area, and the rest on one of the islands swimming, snorkelling and having a lovely lunch at a pre-booked restaurant. We all agreed it was a perfect day, thanks!

S partnerko sva bila lansko leto prvič na poldnevni kajakaški turi in sva bila tako navdušena, da sva se letos opogumila še za celodnevno turo. Izkušnja je bila ponovno odlična, zato sva se že čez nekaj dni odločila še za poldnevno turo ob sončnem zahodu. Pjero je odličen vodič, ki se ves čas prilagaja željam, izkušnjam in kondiciji udeležencev. Z nasveti pomaga izboljšati tehniko veslanja, hkrati pa zelo skrbno skrbi za varnost, dobro počutje in prijetno vzdušje na turi. Obisk Paklenih otokov s Pjerom in kajakom vsekakor priporočava. To je eden najlepših načinov, kako doživeti Hvar in njegovo okolico.

Excellent kayaking experience! As first-timers, we really appreciated Pjero’s clear instructions before setting off from Hvar to the Pakleni Islands. The route was beautiful, with a stop at Mlini beach for swimming and snorkeling. Throughout the trip, Pjero regularly checked on everyone and made sure we were comfortable and safe. He was friendly, professional and clearly very experienced. Overall, a 10/10 experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Hvar. Thanks, Pjero! 😄

We did a half-day kayak tour with Pjero on our recent visit to Hvar. It was most definitely the highlight of our visit! The entire tour was excellent and super professional: from the outfitting and tuition at the beginning (no need for prior kayaking experience), to the entertaining and informative commentary, and the photos supplied at the end (for free!) Pjero ably led our small group (he limits group size to 8) to the Pakleni Islands where we explored two different beaches and had the opportunity to swim or snorkel in the delightfully warm and clear waters (Pjero even supplies the snorkelling gear).

This was our first time sea kayaking as a family of 2 adults and 2 teenage boys. I was extremely nervous but Pjero was very patient and put us at ease. There were plenty of rest breaks along the way where Pjero shared his knowledge of the islands with us. We had a lovely lunch stop and swim to fortify ourselves for the return leg – we were definitely much improved on the way back! One thing to note is that there are no toilet facilities at the start point unless you pay to have a drink in a nearby bar. A really enjoyable way to see the Pakleni islands.

Discover the Pakleni Islands by Kayak

The Pakleni Islands lie just across the channel from Hvar town and form a chain of small islands known for their clear Adriatic Sea, rocky coastline, and scattered coves. Sea kayaking is one of the best ways to experience the Pakleni Islands, paddling between the islands and exploring the coastline from the sea while taking swimming breaks along the way.
