Hvar Offroad Tour

Experience the authentic beauty of Hvar Island on this exciting off-road adventure through ancient villages, breathtaking viewpoints, and the island's highest peak.

Tour Overview

The Hvar Offroad Tour is truly one of a kind, just like the Island of Hvar itself. This full-day adventure takes you through the island's most stunning landscapes, from abandoned ancient villages to panoramic viewpoints and the highest peak of St. Nicholas.

Your journey begins with a drive along scenic dirt roads to the 16th-century village of Malo Grablje, abandoned decades ago but still rich with history and Mediterranean charm. Next, you'll visit Velo Grablje, once a wealthy township known for being Europe's greatest lavender-oil producers.

The tour continues to Vidikovac hill offering spectacular views of Stari Grad, the island's oldest settlement founded by ancient Greeks. The highlight of your day will be ascending St. Nicholas peak (626m), where you'll enjoy a breathtaking 360-degree view of the Central Adriatic and neighboring islands - on clear days, you might even spot Italy in the distance.

Your adventure includes a traditional Dalmatian 'peka' lunch at a family-run tavern overlooking the UNESCO-protected Stari Grad Plain, followed by free time to swim at beautiful Soline Beach in Vrboska.
