Experience the Pakleni Islands at their most peaceful time of day on this relaxed sunset sea kayak tour from Hvar. Paddle across calm Adriatic waters in the late afternoon, explore quiet coves and beaches, and enjoy a unique perspective of the islands as the sun sets over the horizon.
Join a guided sunset sea kayak tour from Hvar town and discover the Pakleni Islands in a completely different atmosphere. Starting in the late afternoon, when most visitors begin to leave, this tour takes you to some of the most beautiful spots in the archipelago — without the crowds.
We visit two islands: first Marinkovac, including the peaceful Mlini Beach area, and then continue towards Jerolim. In the afternoon and early evening, these locations feel calm and almost untouched, offering a more authentic and relaxed experience compared to the busy daytime hours.
The return from Jerolim takes place during sunset, creating one of the most memorable moments of your stay in Hvar — paddling back as the sky changes colors over the Adriatic Sea.

Our sunset kayak tour follows a similar route as the half-day tour but offers a completely different experience thanks to the timing. As the day winds down, the sea becomes calmer, the light softer, and the islands quieter.
We first paddle towards Marinkovac and the Mlini Beach area, where you’ll have time to swim, relax, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. We then continue towards Jerolim island, known for its crystal-clear waters and natural beauty.
The highlight of the tour is the return paddle during sunset, when the Adriatic transforms into a stunning mix of colors — a perfect end to your kayaking adventure.
