What to do?

In the centre of Hvar you can rent a boat and made a marvellous trip around the islands of Hvar... It's a very exciting trip, with lot of marvellous places... and btw it is not much expensive.
Banana Boat Ride
If you prefer to stay on the ground then you'll love the banana boat ride. This is my personal favorite, you and your firends sit on the banana. Then your pulled by a speedboat for about 10 minutes....of course the speedboat makes sharp turns which cause you to fall off a bunch of times, thats the best part!!!

Parasail your worries away...

Parasailing is the ultimate. You get to enjoy a beautiful and one of a kind view for 20 mintutes. Parasailing is soo much fun!!! You dont need to bring anything, just yourself. They have the equipment.
