How Much Does a Day in Hvar Cost? Boat Trips, Wine and Sunset Compared
Updated October 17, 2026 · 5 min read
The short answer. For most visitors, the best-value day is the comfort-yacht trip to the Pakleni Islands at €67.50 per person, followed by a sunset sail if you still have energy. The cheapest paid activity is a paddleboard rental from €17, and the most expensive single day here is the Vis speedboat at €118. Meals, drinks and ferries are not in these prices, so budget for them separately.
What the headline prices cover
All prices below are starting prices per person on GetYourGuide. The spread is wide: the paddleboard costs about a seventh of a Vis day.
| Excursion | Duration | From | Rating | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stand Up Paddle Board Rental in a Wind-Sheltered Bay | 1 hour – 1 day | €17 | 5.0 (25 reviews) | Cheap, flexible water time |
| Romantic Sunset Sailing Experience on a Comfort Yacht | 2 hours | €58.50 | 4.8 (166 reviews) | An evening on the water |
| Boat Tour to Pakleni Islands on a Comfort Yacht | 4 hours | €67.50 | 4.8 (672 reviews) | A relaxed half-day |
| Hvar Wine Tasting Experience | 2.5 hours | €115 | 4.8 (140 reviews) | Wine and olive oil, small group |
| Vis Island and Blue Cave Speedboat Tour | 7.5 hours | €118 | 4.8 (871 reviews) | The big island-hopping day |
Notice that the wine tasting costs more than the yacht trip while taking under two thirds of the time. You are paying for a small group, a drive across the island and a winery visit, not for hours.
Three sample days
A lean day: the paddleboard plus the sunset sail comes to €75.50 per person. The hours in between are yours to fill as you like.
A balanced day: the Pakleni yacht plus the sunset sail is €126 per person. Whether both fit on the same date depends on departure times, so check the booking pages before you commit to the pair.
A splurge day: the Vis speedboat is €118 and fills the daylight. Wine and sunset are better on a separate date; wine plus sunset is €173.50.
The sums use the booking-page starting prices only. Extras such as a drinks package or a pick-up are not listed in the descriptions, so ask or read the booking page.

Where the money is easy to waste
Paying for a second boat day on top of a first one rarely pays off: the Pakleni yacht and the Vis speedboat both include swimming, so the second feels like a repeat unless you pick the Blue Cave for its own sake. The wine tasting is a different kind of day and does not overlap with either boat trip.
Food is the cost this article cannot price. The excursion descriptions do not state restaurant prices, so read the menu before you sit down.

Our recommendation
If you only pay for one thing, make it the comfort-yacht trip to the Pakleni Islands: the most-reviewed half-day here, at a price below the wine tasting and the Vis day. Add the sunset sail if you want a second highlight. Skip the Vis day if a long boat ride already sounds tiring, and skip the wine tasting if you do not drink.
