Bol is known for its famous Zlatni Rat Beach (Golden Horn), a natural phenomenon that with its specific form dominates the other beaches of Bol. A walk along the promenade (approx 2 hours) from Bol you can reach the highest peak of all Adriatic Islands – Vidova Gora, under which the town lies. After a swim break and lunch we continue our journey towards Stari Grad on Hvar Island, the sunniest Adriatic Island.

Together with the old town it is World Heritage Listed and protected by UNESCO.

Day 3: Hvar

Hvar Town offers many cultural and historical sites - Renaissance Cathedral, the oldest communal theatre in Europe founded in 1612, Franciscan Monastery, the Benedictine Convent famous for their lace listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, Spanjola Fortress towering high above the town... and many restaurants and bars open late into the night.

Accommodation Name: Onboard

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

Hvar - Vis. The ship sets sail early this morning as we cruise towards the little island of Bisevo to visit the Blue Cave (weather dependant). We then continue to the island of Vis, which was because of its unique geographical position, a strategic harbour for the Navy and as such, closed to the public until recently. Because of this isolation, Vis has a special charm, ‘the Mediterranean as it once was’ which makes it a really interesting place to see. We spend the night moored up by the town of Vis, situated on the northern side of the island, developed near the remains of ancient Issa, the first urban centre in Croatia. If interested, visit the remains of the Roman Thermal Baths, City Museum or simply take a walk and enjoy the views of the beautiful Roman styled villas situated along the coast.

Today, Korcula is the only place in the world where the Spanish medieval knight's game – Moreska is still performed. Upon arrival, enjoy a walk through the streets of the old town built in the shape of a fish bone.

Paul Noonan  

Adriatic Explorer from Split Premium Plus - 8 days

The tour was better than expected with a great group of people on board. We visited some wonderful locations and the scenery was beautiful. The food on board was good and plentiful and the cabin was spacious. The two 4 am starts with engines running were difficult to sleep through but plenty of time to relax and catch-up. Our captain and especially our guide could not have been more helpful and attentive. It would have been helpful to have known the name of the ship before we arrived to embark.

The tour and guide were great but On the Go Tours never told me what kind of cabin we would have had for the price we paid, we were repeatedly told all cabins were the same, only to find out once on board that our cabins were lower deck. This was a very disappointing experience, especially considering the number of emails that were sent on our side to get our personal infomation.

Adriatic Explorer from Split Premium Plus - 8 days

On first checking in I immediately thought “we must be on the wrong boat” as it was not at all as pictured or described on your website. We had a tiny cabin with the bed against the wall meaning one of us had to climb over the other to get in/out bed. We had a tiny en-suite, the boat was old & in need of maintenance. There was a problem with the plumbing & one morning we woke up to our shower full of dirty waste water. The boat was also small, which once again was not as described on your website. The crew were nice but not professional for example they did not wear uniforms like the other boats and they ate & drank in the main area while we were still there. Everyone on our boat was disappointed with the small, smelly & dirty cabins & ensuites, however, no one else paid anything like the amount that we paid. It was ONLY the scenery & the other passengers that made this trip worthwhile. The food was mostly good but because of how dirty things were it wasn’t appealing. The itinerary got changed every day due to weather but not sure if this small boat was affected more because of its size. Our tour guide was good.
