Where do taxi boats to the Pakleni Islands leave from?

From Hvar Town harbour, along the waterfront. Operators post their destinations and return times; the busiest routes go to Palmižana and Jerolim.

How long is the boat ride?

About 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the island.

Do I need to book taxi boats in advance?

Usually not. You buy a return ticket at the harbour. Tours and private boats are worth booking ahead in July and August.

When is the last boat back?

It varies by operator and month. Confirm the return time when you buy your ticket and be at the jetty early.

Is a tour better than a taxi boat?

A taxi boat is best for a beach day at one spot. A tour or private boat lets you see several coves and swim in places you cannot reach otherwise.

Good to know: opening times, fees and boat or trail schedules change. Check official sources close to your travel date.
